Today I went to Timberfalls to ride my favorite wooden (hybrid) coaster, Avalanche which is now known as HellCat but I might note it as Avalanche. We got the unlimited day pass which is 5 rides on HellCat, 91 holes of unlimited mini putting, unlimited use of Timber Wolf Log Flume, and a 50% off Skyscraper ride.

We arrived there at 11 as the only ones on the coaster so we picked front. As usual, it delivers the perfection of good roughness without head banging, good airtime, but not as fast and rough as I remembered and the lift seemed slower, Wisconsin adjustment I guess?

We got off to find we were the only ones near the park, but the operator made us walk all the way through the line again to get back on. This time in the back where it was rough and more thrilling for sure, but from now on I'm sticking to the front.

We went on Hellcat a total of five times throughout the course of 4 hours. We went on the Timber Wolf Log Flume 12 times in under 3 hours total. It's one of the best flumes in the midwest and the best I've been on. It features two drops combining a total over 100 ft each drop about 45-65ft. It features a long pitch black cave and a troll/farmer looking dude named Geoffrey. This ride op said a total of four words and let us ride it again and again as long as no one came through the line. The drops provide great air and ejections (hang on!) and a decent splash, but don't expect to get soaked.

The mini putting was pretty good. We went on 2/4 courses there, the best being the one inside the actual Adventure Park with the coaster and flume because you go through a volcano though they did turn off the volcano effects and fire. The other courses built into three are a bit more spread out because each of the four all have 18 holes and the three across the street (included in unlimited Timberfalls pass) goes on the bay of the Wisconsin River. Though, they're a bit plain looking unlike the inner-park one known as Montezuma's Revenge.

Great day with little lines as usual, but extremely rude operators and somewhat bad upkeep in some places. BTW, the Wisconsin River isn't really that muddy/dirty, it actually has a chemical used in tea in it that gives it a really gross blackish brown look.
