    2. Extreme Supernova
    3. Sasquatch (Launch)
    4. Screamin’ Eagles
    5. Blizzard
    6. Pandemonium
    7. Alpine Bobsled
    8. Raging River
    9. Desperado Plunge
    10. Greezed Lightnin’

    Honorable Mentions:
    11. Marshall’s Stampede
    12. Flying Trapeze
    13. Flashback
    14. Steamin’ Demon
    15. Sasquatch (Drop)

    Pirate Ship (RIPieces because you’re in storage), would definitely make my Top 10 but I’m only counting open rides.

    I haven’t done Condor in so long, I’ll try to do it this year and maybe it’ll make my list.

    Seems like we have a pretty similar list.

    Well The park dosn't have a lot of rides in all. and I hesitated on considering things lie the Alice in wonderland breakthrough and I have not been back through the rehabbed Jungle/forest walk in national park.

    Was that redone? I didn’t even know, I’ll have to check it out.

    I don’t think I’d count it as a ride, but that’s really cool that it opened up again. I’ll definitely check it out this season, I think I stepped foot in Timbertown once this year.

    I count it as an attraction not a ride. Same as The Alice in wonderland walk through, Mini houses, Old ladies shoe, purple whale, etc.

    Yeah they’re not rides.

    Looking at my list, I’m realizing how much better some of the rides can be. I think if Raging River added some waterfalls and a cave it would be in my top 3. And maybe this is picky, but Blizzard would be in my top 3 too if the building was painted and it didn’t look so unappealing and ugly.

    Raging River is still fun and gets you decently wet, but it loses a lot of bonus points seeing the waterfalls have been off for years, and the ride could really use some landscaping.

    Yes it could be a lot better. I always thought that long strip after you get out of the first set of sprayers should be a cave.

    It could have more. I agree Blizzard need to be painted but I would not dock points for that.
    They do need to bring them back. having the rock features there and no water running is simply disappointing.

    I take it your asking about the rapids ride. There were a couple water falls. They were lovely to look at very large falling to both sides of that first turn. There were con activated sprayers in that area also. further in about half way back there was another water fall. Sadly I havn't ridden the ride in close to 15 years.

    There’s nothing much to it now, it’s got a really really small waterfall that never even hits the boat, and then has some sprayers at the end (not themed at all, and kinda ugly looking).

    This is kinda unrelated, but can someone explain to me the need for such a huge plot of water in the middle? I’m assuming that doesn’t need to be there right?
