The summer sky was hinting at rain and the heat wasn't letting up at all. But that didn't deter hundreds of eager people waiting in line to be the first to see and ride OWA! And Coast360 was there to capture all the excitement.
After a few words of welcome it was time to make it official!
OWA in Foley, Alabama
When the gates opened, we made our way into the park to check out all the rides. Of course our first stop was the signature Rollin' Thunder. Slowly the car inched its way to the top of the track and seemingly without hesitation it plunged downward outracing the screams of the riders. No sooner had they reached the bottom point when they were hurled into a massive loop. From the loop into a twist and beyond.

It was white knuckles and thrills as Rollin' Thunder raced around its track.
From there we walked around and watched everyone having a great time. At every turn we spotted another colorful ride - some for the adults, some for the wee ones, and some perfect for families to enjoy together.
Flutter By Ride at OWA in Foley, Alabama
Flutter By is one of OWA's fun family rides. All ages can enjoy the flight.
After we checked out the carnival-style games and the food (yummy cheeseburger), we were stopped in our tracks by the Twister. And no, we did not ride after that cheeseburger! Instead, we rolled our video and captured the dizzying scene as the riders swung from side to side, finally gaining the momentum to go over the top.
Thrilling fun at OWA
With our first visit to OWA over, the only thing we can say is... Oh my! It was so worth the wait and you'll certainly see Coast360 there again and again.
