The only ride I have a piece from is a small section of track from Shockwave.

Was there one in SC? Or just the Gurnee park?
If it was, where is it now?

Old Yukon Territory was themed to be like a Canadian woodland atmosphere, I think.

I believe it was in BHC3. Edge was an Intamin 1'st Gen. Freefall ride.

Yes, in '84 at the Gurnee park. A cable snapped on the elevator and the car came crashing down on top of another car that was loading. I believe 8 people were hurt. Ironicly some riders were wearing "I Went Over the Edge, and Survived!" shirts. Nobody was killed, thank God! BTW, did anyone...
