The rides were awesome and the girls and cousins rode them over and over...not for me though. Sanddra, her baby grandson and Rob went for the tamer ones in the kiddie area...Rob did well in quite a fast little train rollercoaster which was more his speed.
The big kids enjoyed things like

WildFire ®
WildFire®--a high-flying, multi-looping, cobra-rolling coaster that will leave you breathless. Speeds up to 66 miles per hour! Get ready to fly!

PowderKeg ®
This explosive roller coaster sends riders into a thrill zone within seconds of climbing aboard, launching from 0 to 53 miles per hour in just 2.8 seconds. A thrill ride unlike any other at the theme park, PowderKeg® combines the shocking speed of the compressed air-launch with spiraling turns, negative gravitational or "G" forces, and "floater" hills at speeds up to 64 miles per hour for a truly wild ride experience.


Fire-In-The-Hole
Watch out below! There's Fire-in-the-Hole! The Baldknobbers set the town ablaze! This indoor coaster offers high-speed drops and thrilling surprises around every corner.

Thunderation
Rumble through the treetops on a runaway mine train! Thunderation is an 80-foot tall, high-speed, smooth-riding coaster with a scenic view of the Ozarks!

One thing that was really awesome was the glass blowing craftsmen. may stood there for along time watching. Awesome!
