Review by George Chen

The Adventuredome is a huge indoor amusement park located in Circus Circus, Las Vegas. It is credited with the starting of Las Vegas becoming more family-oriented. The pink dome somehow manages to stuff all these rides in, but it is very cramped. A early warning: Since everything is cramped, it is easy to get lost (many dead ends), so don't try to meet someone inside the park. Meet at the entrance. Some rides are interesting, while others would make you fall asleep. Here's my take:

Inverter: a open-roof inverted ship. Very fun. See my special fantasy photo about it.

Canyon Blaster: An Arrow corkscrew coaster with 2 loops and 2 corkscrews. It is a great ride, but very short.

IMAX Ridefilm: Featuring Reboot: The Ride and Fun House Express. Very fun, great 3D graphics.

Rim Runner: River ride, goes around park before a splashdown. Very fun.

Laser Blast: Laser tag, located under the center of the park. The arena needs work. They basically bought plastic playground equipment and put it inside. Needs theming.

Sand Pirates: Small swinging ship. Fun, but would be better if the boat was larger.

Drifters: A balloon Ferris wheel. Boring.

Road Runner: Tilt-a-whirl. Pretty fun, but small.

Circus Carousel: A standard Merry-go-round.

Canyon Cars: Bumper Cars, fun, and really great play. Ride time should be longer though.

B.C. Bus Stop: One of the kids bus ride. See this fantasy photo. Fun for kids.

Thunderbirds: The little kids up and down ride in airplanes. Similar to Dumbo and Astro Orbiter at Disneyland. This ride is very small.

Miner Mike: One of those circle roller coasters for kids. Great fun for kinds, boring for real enthusiasts.

Cliffhangers: Rock climbing wall. Good exercise.

Pikes Pass: A very small and boring game of super mini golf. Pass this one off.

Virtual Reality Zone: A bit expensive, but the games aren't that bad.

This park has potential, but needs work. I feel that the midway games should be removed and replaced with new rides or just left for space, since there are midway games in other places of the casino. The dead ends should be closed, and make more open spaces that are themed.
