Since this is my homepark, I love it, and for a quick hint as of 2003: think BIG. If CGrotto doesn't mind, I'd like to help them a bit with this page to get it updated.
I just got back from Michigan's Adventure. Everyone at the park was saying that Shivering Timbers was rough, but I thought it was smooth for a woodie. The airtime was great! I'm really skinny, so the safety bar was pretty loose, and I wore the seatbelt loose too. On the airtime hills, it felt like I was standing. I'm not the biggest fan of woodies, but this is going into my top 5! About the rest of the park: Yes, it needs better landscaping and more restrooms. There aren't many food stands either. The rides are all right, but they need a ride like Power Tower or something, so more thrill-seekers could come. If you don't go to the water park, the ride park starts to get boring. After I rode all the coasters,which took less than an hour, I just wandered around the park. It wasn't a bad place, but there was not much to do.
I agree the park is small but the ride on shivering timbers is worth the price of admission ...lets say this if your passing by michigan adventure and want a thrill shivering timbers is your kinda ride but if your coming from far away to play here its a waste of money ...more kiddie rides than good adult THRILL rides.....

MAD MOUSE: Yikes! Way too overbraked and just plain BORING! 4/10

SHIVERING TIMBERS: Finally, a really good ride at MA. Good airtime, laterals and everything to make it a good woodie. 9/10

the worst Cedar Fair park.
