Designed for Thrill. Built for Legacy.

Randy’s Thrill Hill stands as one of our most daring and dynamic recreational projects to date — now open at Bear Paw Adventure Park in Caledonia, WI. Designed and brought to life by our team, in collaboration with Susan Lasecki of Ionic Structures and Design, this monumental attraction pushes the boundaries of both engineering and emotion.

At 70 feet tall, with a 250-foot Super Mega Slide and a 50-foot vertical drop, it’s the tallest and fastest of its kind in the Midwest, reaching speeds up to 30 mph. But more than a thrill ride, this is a tribute to the late Randy Isaacson — the visionary behind Bear Paw and Jellystone Park™ Caledonia — whose passion built these parks into cherished family destinations.

The structure features high-strength galvanized steel and impact-resistant polyethylene panels, engineered for durability and a smooth, high-velocity ride. The 38-degree launch angle was precisely calculated for peak excitement, and LED lighting along the stairs and platform transforms the hill into a nighttime beacon. A custom-designed canopy at the top reflects the rustic architecture of Bear Paw, seamlessly blending with the park’s character.

From panoramic views at the peak to the adrenaline-pumping descent, every detail of Randy’s Thrill Hill was crafted to honor a legacy — and inspire new memories for years to come.

Bringing Adventure to Life at Jellystone Park™ Caledonia

At Thrive Architects, we are thrilled to be part of the innovative transformation at Jellystone Park™ Caledonia with the creation of Randy’s Thrill Hill at Bear Paw Adventure Park. This exciting project is unlike anything the campground has seen before, and we’re honored to help bring it to life.

Our collaboration with Susan Lasecki of Ionic Structures and Design has been instrumental in shaping the vision for this attraction. Lasecki’s impressive renderings and structural design provided the foundation for our architectural work, ensuring the 1,500 sq. ft. steel-framed structure at the top of the hill not only serves as a thrilling launch point for the mega slide but also integrates seamlessly into the natural landscape. Designed for year-round fun, this hill will double as a sledding destination in winter, making it an all-season adventure hub.

Construction began in summer 2022, with groundbreaking in 2023, and we’re excited to see it completed just in time for the upcoming camping season. Randy’s Thrill Hill, named in memory of the late Randy Isaacson, will stand as a lasting tribute to his legacy and love for outdoor fun.

We can’t wait for campers to experience this incredible addition! Learn more at www.jellystone-caledonia.com.
