Magic Springs

Welcome to Magic Springs Theme Park

This is the Razorback Round Up Bumper Cars

Carousel

Krazy Kars (reminded me of a tea cup ride)

Rum Runner Pirate Ship

Hawk was not operating today

Plummet Summit (you got quite wet on the actual ride)

The Gauntlet

It was actually relatively smooth for a Vekoma SLC

There's a nice sized lake in the middle of the ride park.  I like how they have their skycoaster (SkyShark) set up so that it flies passengers out over the lake.

Brain Drain (these drop towers scare me more than the S&S and Intamin versions)

Ozark Mountain Taxi Company features a lengthy course

Big Bad John (this was one of my favorite rides at the park)

Yes this is the infamous section track from the River King Mine Train at Six Flags St. Louis.  It was also at Dollywood for awhile where Tennessee Tornado is currently located.

To clear up confusion, this was not the track that featured the first stand up coaster trains. That track is still at Six Flags St. Louis

 The most unique coaster in the park's collection is X-Coaster


The feeling you get as your exit the lift (completely upside down) is something that cannot be described if you have never ridden X-Coaster


You very slowly navigate this roll


and then you plunge back down through the station.  It then goes back up the lift hill (with the chain disengaged) and rushes back through the station back up to the roll and then back down through the station once more before being slowly brought back to the station.

Diamond Mine Run is the park's junior coaster

Clear on the other side of the park is the Arkansas Twister

The coaster recently had a lot of retracking done and it is running very well.

Magic Springs is definitely a fun little park and worth a visit if you can fit it in to your vacation

Magic Springs

Welcome to Magic Springs

Let's head on into the ride portion of the park

First ride of the day would be Arkansas Twister

This out and back wooden coaster is kind of off by itself

It provides some decent pops of air along its path

Bumper cars

Wave Carousel

Run Runner Pirate Ship

Twist N Shout

I really like the themed cars

My only complaint was they are not "tall person friendly"

Wild Thang - a power surge ride

Dr. Dean's Rocket Machine

Time for Big Bad John

This mine train has a colorful history

It originally was the 2nd track of River King Minetrain at Six Flags St. Louis,

before being shipped to Dollywood and then it was removed and sent here.

The next coaster is by far the most bizarre of the collection here

This is X-Coaster

It's really hard to describe without seeing it in person

This roll is just wrong is so many ways

Zooming back down into the station

It's fun... but it feels so wrong.

Diamond Mine Run

Pretty fun kiddie coaster

Plummet Summit

The Gauntlet

It's your typical Vekoma SLC

Yes, it's rough

That's pretty much it at Magic Springs

Time to head out
