On the current home picture, why does it say Thank You Santa Clara?
Gurnee Ride Op - 2007
Hi,
Regarding the new Sky Whirl photo that's currently on the home page, I don't know for sure which park it is from. It's probably Santa Clara. I can't tell for sure if it's the Demon or the Turn of the Century in the background. I don't think the Demon's rocks would necessarily show in this particular view. Once the ride was converted to the Demon, there were three prominent flag poles added to the top of the lift. However, I've seen early Demon photos that were shot before the flag poles were put in place. Most likely, however, the coaster was still the Turn of the Century at the time of this photo.
Regarding the Orleans Orbit photos, the ones labeled Gurnee were labeled as such because of details in the photos that positively identify them as Gurnee. The ones that are not labeled with a location are probably Santa Clara.
