Gosh, I wouldn't wish Wisconsin on my worst enemy. but if you have to be there, I suggest you go to Wisconsin Dells (it's an entire city). They have a slew of waterparks (I hear Noah's Ark is the best...and most crowded) and they have Big Chief's Carts and Coasters with a triple scoop of CCI goodness. Zeus is the biggie at a whopping 90ft, but as CCI has proven that is more than enough. Pegasus is the "family" coaster, but it is more thrilling than some adult woodies *achoo*MeanStreak*achoo*. But, IMO, *the* ride there is Cyclops. If you ride in the backseat, there are at least two moments that will have you grabbing for the lap bar (which I might add is the simple "up or down" kind, no ratcheting bars here!). The "Cyclops-drop" rivals the 5th hill on Raven.
They also have some really fun go-cart tracks so that's something else to check out.
