Want to play some games?  There was a hole in the building where you could look in and some of the games were there.

Completely camouflaged is a very rare and endangered bug...a tumble bug and I believe that their once plentiful numbers have dwindled down to just three.

The Tumble Bug is a ride with a train of cars that look like big turtles and they ride on a circular track that has hills and dips.

Tumble Bugs were made by the famous coaster designer Harry Traver.  There are two other large Tumble Bugs but every once in a while you can find a children sized one like at Paramount's Kings Island.
