The Dragon Review

First hill and loops of the Dragon
The Dragon is a steel looping coaster at the small park in Altoona, Iowa known as Adventureland. It is made by the company vekoma. The Dragon is relatively 90 ft tall with 2 consecutive loops and a figure eight. The ride cuases tons of headbanging and often will give you a headache I really don't like this roller coaster and don't really recommend it. Overall I give it a 1/5.
Two consecutive loops
Random Fact: It is the only steel roller coaster in Iowa and the only looping roller coaster.

The Tornado Review

The Tornado is located in the small park in Altoona, Iowa known as Adventureland. The Tornado is a woodie over 90 feet tall. It is rellatively smooth for a wooden coaster. It has quite a bit of airtime and some headchoppers. Some airtime can be felt on the first hill depending on where you sit. This is one of my favorite wooden coasters. I recommend it to anyone visiting Iowa. Overall I give it a 4/5.
Random Fact: When The Tornado opened it was ranked in the top 10 ten wooden roller coasters in the world.

The Outlaw Review

First hill.
The Outlaw is located in the small park in Altoona, Iowa known as Adventureland. The Outlaw is a small woodie located at the back of the park. It is a relatively smooth ride with plenty of twists, turns and airtime. It also has more headchoppers than any coaster I've been on. Overall I think the Outlaw is a great wooden coaster and that anyone vistiting Iowa should definitely look in to. My final rating is 3.5/5. Random Fact: It is the second roller coaster built by Custom Coasters International who now are world renown wooden roller coaster designers.
