OUR ADVENTURELAND SUMMER part 3

Endeavor Greetings:

This morning we are sharing how our cameras saw Adventureland in Altoona, Ia; just off of I-80 outside of Des Moines, Iowa.


One of the 1st rides one finds upon entering the A-land gates is the A-Train plus station pictured here.

Here Judy is getting ready to broad the A-Train.


The A-Train pulling into the station .

This was Judy's favorite ride
The Space shot.






John's is the Underground,
in the picture below is our friend and co -worker Pat Carter on the left of Judy.

The Big Wheel is one of the busiest rides

The Tornado is the largest roller coaster,
here it is approaching the top of Hill 1

The Outlaw is a wooden roller coaster, down in the GULCH, this is coming down the 1st drop.








The Dragon is a metal roller coaster with a double loop and figure 8 curve.















The Sidewinder is also one of the rides with the longest lines.




Two of the Kiddie rides are the Red Barren to the left and the Truck Convoy below .


The Frenzy Freeway (bumber cars) was enjoyed by both of us.



There are more than 100 rides and shows at ADVENTURELAND including a circus. we really,really was impressed with Ben Urlin, the Magician. who performed in the Sheriff Sam's Saloon.


There are numerous eating areas such as

Petunia Pig, where one can get peanuts,popcorn, lemonade and pickles on a stick.

Below is a view of campground right next to Adventureland, the Endeavor, is just to the right and 2 rows up from the comfort station,with the red roof in the foreground.

May God continue to Bless each of you
and THANK YOU to each of you who support our Ministries with your Prayers; calls and letters; and financial support
