OK so it wasn't really hell

I confess. Mall of America was pretty cool. There's an underground aquarium (claims to be the largest such aquarium with the "best" shark encounter out there!). There are two decent roller coasters, a water flume, a bunch of kiddie rides and your basic county fair type games.

We did two coasters, the Pepsi Ripsaw and the Timberland Twister. The Twister was pretty cool. You'll see the photos in a sec. And the Ripsaw was interesting in that it had a theme and circled the entire theme park-within-a-mall.

The yellow/orange-and-blue coaster is the Twister and the brown one is the Ripsaw. The Twister is a cat-and-mouse type ride and its seats swirl, as you'll see. Similar to the spinning coaster at Disney's Animal Kingdom, but better in my humble opine.

Check out the park's site here: http://www.parkatmoa.com/ and the rcdb.com link here: http://rcdb.com/pd19.htm

Enjoy the ride(s).
