Several year's ago we applied our water ride expertise to the dry park environment by designing two new rides that can be enjoyed while wearing street clothing!

			New Saw Mill Is A Big Splash At Adventureland

			Officials at Adventureland Park today announced that an all-new white water adventure is opening for the 2002 season. The ride is named Saw Mill Splash, and is the first of it’s kind in the United States.

			The ride will take guests in rafts 60 feet in the air, and then launch them into a river of white water. The spinning rafts will careen down a channel of twists and turns until they splash into a geyser filled reservoir. Saw Mill Splash will be the newest feature in the Outlaw Gulch area of the park.

			“We really wanted another water ride. The saw mill theme and geysers will make this as exciting and fun as any water ride in the nation.” said John Krantz, Adventureland’s President.

			Adventureland Park, Inn and Campground are located on I-80 just east of Des Moines, Iowa. The Inn and Campground are open year round. Adventureland Park opens weekends beginning April 27th, and will be open every day starting May 18th.

			For more information Contact: Ryan Sullivan (515)266-2121 (800)532-1286 PO Box 3355 Des Moines, IA 50316
