The Paratrooper at Camden Park, Huntington West Virginia

For such a small park Camden really has a nice collection of classic and modern rides like this Paratrooper.

There are also games where one can win a giant stuffed Spongebob Squarepants to round out that classic park experience.

The Flying Scooters at Camden Park, Huntington West Virginia

One of the newer rides at Camden Park is the Flying Scooters.

While the Flying Scooters may be one of the later chapters in Camden Park's history there is a tree covered hill behind this ride that has quite a bit of pre-history buried in it. On the other side of the Flying Scooters is a burial mound built by the Adena culture somewhere between 1000 and 200 BC. Unfortunately most of their burial mounds were destroyed or excavated while Camden's mound is one of the few unexcavated ones. While not a huge thrilling attraction I like that Camden pays it some respect by noting it on the parks map.
