This Eli-Bridge Scrambler has been spinning kids of all ages since the park's opening in 1976. Originally located in Yukon Territory and called Saskatchewan Scrambler.

The colors of this ride are quite disturbing. Sorry, Packer fans. The ride just looks ugly. Even the lights on the ride are ugly. That has passed, and the ride has just became a fun ride for me. I ignore what it looks still.

8/10

HTFM may not be the best flat in the park, but it is fun to ride. It is usually my first flat ride each year (My stomach cant handle extreme spinning on Opening Day). IMO, the colors look fine, but the fences around the ride and in the queue desperately need paint. I once counted 5 different shades of yellow on one of the fences ^_^

7/10

This ride is very similar to Scrambler. In fact, it is the same thing. I have been on Sizzler and that was too fast. It hurt my neck too much. Hometown Fun Machine is better because it is slower and it doesn't hurt! You don't get so slammed to the side either. 8/10

This is a good ride needs to be a little faster in my opinion. It was very frun with the old lights (mini bulbs) could have stood to be a different color but all around fun.

Extremely smooth after a major downpour doesn't vibrate as much when you slow down if the ride is wet.

2/5

The 2 points is for its location alone.
