You know that giant spinny thing that you see from Highway 80? That's The Screamer, at Scandia Family Fun Center. Of course, the website makes no mention of this attraction and I know it's been closed off and on, so if anyone knows its status please let me know and I'll post an update.
Besides The Screamer, Scandia has mini golf, a go-cart track and bumper boats complete with water spouts that you can squirt at other bumper boats or at your parents as they stand on the sidewalk watching you. There's also an arcade, laser tag and batting cages. Admission is free: you pay for rides on a per-ride basis.
This place is OK if you are in the area and can't think of anything to do, but the appeal is really limited (at least that's what we thought). Because of height limitations, small children will be excluded from most of the rides, which is sure to inspire tears so don't bring children under the age of four or so, and expect to ride with kids that are only just that age or a little older. It can get a bit pricey, too, and since there isn't a lot of variety you may find yourself riding the same rides over and over again just to make it worth the drive.
