The park feels like photos you’ve seen of Six Flags during the mid 70s – but time proves that Adventureland isn’t afraid to make power moves. Bill Cobb’s Tornado is very 1970s double-looping Hopkins Dragon is very 1980s the CCI-becoming-GCI Outlaw is very 1990s totally-enclosed CCI Underground is very weird 2016’s knock-out Gerstlauer Infinity Monster is utterly badass.
