I think the one at Hersheypark is no longer there. I believe it was removed last year.

It has been used on Batman, Superman, Raging Bull, and I think Viper. I know when Shockwave was still in the park, they used it on it as well.

How do the number tickets at Gurnee prevent people from line jumping? As you enter the line, you are given a good sized ticket, with the name of the ride on it. Each ticket has a number, and they are passed out in order. Near the end of the line, the tickets are collected. If you are out of sequenc...

Did the trolley tracks have to be altered in Orleans place with the Mard-Gras updates last year. i.e. around the Big Easy Ballon Ride. I was there in 2004 but did not pay much attention to the trolley tracks. No they did not. In that area used to be a bunch of benches, and a gazbeoo that had shows ...

I remeber seeing these at the park (Burgers on the Run in Co. Fair comes to mind), but I also have seen them outside the park as well. The high school I went to in Gurnee (Warren Township High School) during the years of 1988 thru 1991 had one as well. They used it for hot dogs, burgers, and cheeseb...

My understanding is that model is at the park, back in one of the administrative buildings. When that model was on tour, I remember going to see it, and it was very impressive. I don't believe it operated, though. From my conversations with the parks public relations department, there are plans in t...

It's pretty cool being on a coaster or other tall ride and being able to see literally dozens of fireworks displays all around the neighboring cities/villages... in addition to the park's display itself. I agree with you there. This last 4th of July, I rode Eagle over and over, as the crowds were s...

That is probably where my parents got the MGA frisbee that I have pictured in this post

Since we drove from Kenosha, Wisconsin, we should have taken I-94 into Gurnee, but instead we always took back highways. My dad used to drive down (I am hoping I remembering the name) Dilley's Road <?> because it would end right in front of the park. I remember that distinctively because the Sky Tr...

Actually they took the station out when they built the Shock Wave station and the "Delta Flyer," which was actually the Saskatchewan Scrambler renamed and rethemed. Now the Condor sits on that site. Rick, I know you worked at the park in the late 80's like I did, but I believe you are a b...

I have uploaded the Carousel Song IN FULL to my FTP server... so JUST FOR YOU ALL, here it is: Enjoy! Rick Aiello SFGAm Employee 1989-1999 THANKS RICK!!!! I've been looking for this for years as well. Now, if I could just get a hold of the theme music for each section..... Again, thanks for sharing...

While I was employeed at the Gurnee Park, I did get the chance to eat at the buffett place in Oreleans Place. It was a one-time fill your plate kind of place, and the food was wonderful. I remember them having different kids of sides (Mashed pototoes, green beans, rice, etc), and at the end of it wa...

How about the Demon's soundtrack? A friend who worked in Gurnee told me that at one time there the Demon music was available for sale. Sure have no idea how I missed that one. Guess I was too busy riding. I was actually fortunate enough to get a copy of the Demon Music from the Gurnee Park. A good ...
