Next to the Kentucky Rumbler where the Looping Star used to sit is now an area filled with children's rides.  I was thrilled to see a classic Mangels Whip there.



Unfortunately it is a Junior Whip or I'd go for a ride.  These rides are so much fun there should be one at every park.  Just look at the grin on that little girl.  Whips are a blast.



The Looping Star reopened this year with not only a new location about a hundred feet from its previous one, but also a new sign and new trains.



Here's Kevin going for a ride on the Looping Star's new trains.  They are a definite improvement over the previous trains but the roughness left me bruised.
