Hey everyone,

I'm thinking of going down to Oakboro tomorrow and checking out the rides.

Do they ever have any decent rides? Do they ever have a coaster?

It's been years since I went.

Thanks.

^ Are those confirmed for Oakboro, or just the standard set of rides they use?

Steeple Chase must be a kids ride, not the horse "coaster" like they have in England right?

That's the list of rides from the Oakboro website; no idea how accurate it is, though. No idea what Steeple Chase is, but from what I've seen of Smokey Mountain Amusements in the past, probably nothing spectacular.
