	As far as I can tell, this was ~~list~~ as the [[Round Up]] on the maps since it was first installed at the park. The website, at least as far back as 2010, listed it as Tilt-A-Whirl. I am told the sign changed in 2016 to say Tilt-A-Whirl. End of an era?		As far as I can tell, this was listed as the [[Round Up]] on the maps since it was first installed at the park.

	No wonder I have been misspelling it lately. The 2016 guide map and website uses Rathskellar (-ar) but the sign at the location says Rathskeller (-er). That word must not be in the spellchecker they use yet. Rathskeller (-er) is a real word which means a beer hall or restaurant in a basement: http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/rathskeller		No wonder I have been misspelling it lately.

			=== River City Pizza ===
			Pointed out to me today is that the awning sign says River City Pizzeria on the ends, and River City Pizza on the front. Inside, the screen menus read River City Pizza, so majority rules.

	~~=== River Rapids ===~~
	This is no longer in the park, so it really shouldn't be on the list, but I thought it was worth mentioning. Even though it had a real name, everyone seems to just call it the log ride. Log ride or log flume is the generic term for this type of ride, but if an amusement park is going to give it a clever name, it should use that clever name. (At least one reference to Log Ride/Flume was still on the website as of 8/2/2016, even though the ride closed in 2015.)

	The ride was manufactured by the Hampton company, and most of the vehicles still have badges on them that say Hampton. Thus, Hampton Cars. This ride came from [[Riverview Park]] where it may have been known as Hampton Cars there, too. If so, locals may have already been familiar with it by that name.

	The big sign at the ride says LADYBUG. The type of insect that the ride cars look like are ladybugs (one word, no space). I'm going to say the sign is correct, though I would not fault the use of plural ladybugs because there is more than one ladybug to ride in...		The big sign at the ride says LADYBUG.

	Adventureland sometimes uses different spellings or completely different names for the same thing. The guide map might labeled with one name, but the sign at the ride calls it something else. Sometimes the name appears differently in different sections of the website (ride index page, "you must be this tall to ride" paragraphs, history page, etc.). There are even examples of signs at the location using different variations.		Adventureland sometimes uses different spellings or completely different names for the same thing.

	If the ride [[Chuck Wagon]] is two words, and the writing on the wagon here is two words, I'm not sure why the menu sign has it as Chuckwagon. (My spell checker doesn't seem to like that as one word.)		If the ride [[Chuck Wagon]] is two words, and the writing on the wagon here is two words, I'm not sure why the menu sign has it as Chuckwagon. (My spell checker doesn't seem to like that as one word.) I found earlier photos that showed the menu sign was spelled as "Chuck Wagon" so the missing space may just be a typo. (The sign makes reference to a tin refill cup, which they don't have this season, so they will have to redo the sign at some point anyway.)

	'''Theory:''' An article in the ''Des Moines Register'' contained some old photos of Adventureland, and the bumper car building said DODGEM on the top. I seem to recall seeing Frantic Freeway used to describe a kiddie ride that used to be in the park. Perhaps the Dodge 'em Cars sign is gone, and they used the old Frantic Freeway signs since it had the same height requirements? Time to go look at those signs closer and see...

			'''Update:''' I asked Adventureland about this in 2008, and they replied: ''The technical name is Dodge 'em Cars. Frantic Freeway is kind of a "local" name that makes sense. Kind of like the Flume, which most people call the "Log Ride".''
