Collin went off with his friends as expected. Shannon and I went with a focus on the roller coasters.
Most of the other rides, like bumper cars and smaller spinning rides can be found at our local county fair but we did go on the bumper cars. Molly and Evan stayed with us and since neither had ever been on a coaster they were unsure of this but as soon as we arrived we went to one of the big ones. By the end of the day we had been on the High Roller,
the Renegade,
the Wild Thing
and the Corksrew 
as well as several other rides. My favorite ride was the Power Tower.
On the Power Tower you sit in a seat that leaves your legs dangling. The ride brings you straight up into the air to 275 feet and after a couple of seconds at the top, it allows your "car" to freefall to the bottom. I have been one who has always wanted to parachute. On this ride you reach speeds over 50MPH on the way down and have over 3 seconds of weightlessness. Shanon did not like it and Molly wouldn't go on it, but Evan and I made half a dozen trips on it.
Collin really enjoyed the steel venom that takes you straight up into the air at a 90 degree angle at 70MPH and gives you a little twist.
It was a quiet day at the park with light traffic so we waited in very short lines for our rides and after about 3PM actually walked right onto many of the rides.
A great day was had by all.
