I never got to ride Tidal Wave either and I hope I can make a trip to SFKK sometime soon!

I know in later years, former park president and GM Jim Wintrode kept saying that he wanted a Ferris Wheel back in the park, but he never got his wish. Jim left the park at the end of the 2003 (?) season. I was able to talk to Jim in 2003 when he was in front of the Grand Music Hall looking at the ...

I rode the Monster at Cedar Point which is a Eyerly Monster. I like the Monster more than East River Crawler because it spins more and is faster. The bad thing is that it takes forever to load/unload and check.

I liked Power Dive but I hated the restraints.

I would also love to see this video and any others that you made. Could you possibly put the Tidal Wave video on the site?

I remember Bugs Bunny Land and I'll look for pictures.

Read the full article here: www.dailyherald.com/news/lakestory.asp?id=147698 I hope this will help get Six Flags back on its feet ...

My first visit to the park was in 1990 at the age of 1 and a half years and that was when my obsession with roller coasters began. I've been going every year since and my parents would tell me stories of our trips. They told me that I wanted to ride all the roller coasters and cried because I couldn...
