Liberty Land





This place cracked me up. Kate and I have passed this place a few times on the freeway and every time we did she would ask if we could go. I finally gave in and made Dave come with us. All I can say is WOW! What this place consists of is run down carnival rides that could only operate twice then after the two rides they would have to wait for the equipment to cool down.
Believe it, that roller coaster was probably the scariest one I have ever been on. I really thought that thing was going to fly off the tracks.
All in all Kate had a fabulous time and I guess that is all that matters.


So Dave saw this post and thought it was a bit harsh so I took off the Scary Land title. Also Dave is asking that you go and support this place. Whatever you decide, just be prepared for the roller coaster.

am I losing it or just blind? where is this place? & why can you see it from the freeway? does utah really need one more thing that screams W.T.?

JaNae said...

oh janae, just wait till you see this place. it is in lehi right before you get to the lehi roller mills exit. it is a work of art. i will be shocked if they stay in business. who ever invested into that place must have been blind.

and yes, that last picture explains everything. i had to hold kate the entire time and when the thing came to an end i thought i was going to have whiplash and that kate's head was going to be ripped off. i was also thinking of the different ways that i could save my child. not a joke. dead serious.

i'm laughing at your and janaes comments. i have never seen that place either. darn nicole we could have taken the kids there when i was there. it would have been kind of funny because my kids would have cried on every single ride!

Mrs.Sargent said...

hahah. dave wants you to support it because it makes him sick to think about all the money that guy spent on it to open it and it sucks. hahahahaha

Holland said...

you are correct stacey. dave is just sick that someone is losing money over there. thank goodness it is not us.

Jamie said...

We pass that place all the time too! I thought it was more "upscale", like Boondocks (ha ha), but I guess it's pretty carni huh? Maybe we won't go then. That's really funny!

that last picture made me laugh. Kate does look like she is having the time of her life! Nic, I read your comment on Jewels blog, you're not just a lame in law. Once you marry in you're family.

steph, what a good eye. there was only like two other families there. it was sad.

Tina said...

I can tell Dave is going to have a dilemma on his hands. Wanting the people to succeed so they don't lose all their money.....and yet not wanting to go again and waste his! What to do????

K, I soooo want to check this place out. Thomas makes fun of it every time we pass by. He says, "I give that place 6 months." We'll see. Loved the pics and comments, you crack me up.
