The Log Flume at Adventureland Amusement Park, Altoona, Iowa

As I said earlier when riding Adventureland's River Rapids Log Flume you won't get that wet here at the end of the ride but the splash does look really cool.

The final coaster for Bond to conquer at Adventureland is one of the more unique coasters out there.

What makes the Underground so unique is that it is not just a coaster but it is a dark ride as well.

While in line you're told that Adventureland is really built on a bunch of old mines and one day the villainous "Bad Bart" and his gang ended up getting trapped in there after robbing a nearby bank. Once the posse trapped the gang in the mine they dynamited the entrances leaving "Bad Bart" to die. Of course Adventureland re-opened the mine many years later and now sends guests through it on a coaster. Watch out because reports are that the ghost of "Bad Bart" still haunts the dark tunnels of the Underground.
