Ohio's Newest Park and Coaster

Back in the middle of December, Wonder Park at the Forest Fair Mall opened to the public. I went down the day after it opened and took four rides on the coaster there. The coaster is a Miler kiddie coaster called the Boa Squeeze. Today, I went back and took 206 rides on the Boa  Squeeze. Wonder Park is a family park designed for children ages 2-12, but according to some of the workers, plenty of us enthusiasts have been in there riding the coaser since the park opened. there are three rides adults can go on and best of all, adults are not required to have kids with them in order to get on the rides. The three rides are the Boa Squeeze coaster, Dodgem Cars and the Bouncing Tigers. The Bouncing Tigers ride is a spinning ride that goes pretty fast. To get your tiger to raise up into the air, you have to push down on a little lever that is in front of you. Anyway, in the middle of winter,  any rides are an absoulute joy to be on.

According to a young lady who works there, there will be more Wonder Parks opening in America in the next couple of months. Maybe you will get one near your hometown.

Thats sounds pretty cool but it sounds like you spend a lot of time there! (Iwould too)

I have been there twice. The first time I was in and out of the place. Today, I was there for about two and a half hours. The ride ops let me stay on the coaster without getting off.

For those of us from out of state, where is Forest Fair Mall?

OK, it must be the giant mall on the Cincinnati beltway that went belly up during the S&L crisis.

Darren,

 Thanks for posting info about this. I put a small blurb about it in my next newsletter but wasn't sure about adults riding the coaster. I plan on going there soon to give it a ride or two.
