Fiddler's Centerpiece
What happened to the centerpiece on Fiddler's Fling. It was on there until a few years ago. Now it's just a dome in the middle instead of that crown-looking thing.

Re: Fiddler's Centerpiece
Jonrev... the centerpiece on Fiddler's is still (I think) at the Gurnee park, but was removed many years ago at the SC park. Don't know why...jonrev wrote:What happened to the centerpiece on Fiddler's Fling. It was on there until a few years ago. Now it's just a dome in the middle instead of that crown-looking thing.
Also the Gurnee cars have the little roof things over them, but the SC park does not. From Steven's pics on the site, it appears that they were both the same at first. When I visited in 1990, the SC ride had been modified. I have pics that I will scan and add soon. (one taken from Delta/Eagle's.)

Here is a picture of the Gurnee Fiddler's Fling from 2004. The centerpiece is gone, but the roofs are still on the cars.

For the Gurnee centerpiece It had to been taken out in the late 1990's. I have a picture of me on the ride and the centerpiece was still there. I think that the picture was taken in 1997. The only way I can tell is I have another picture of the Condor and I could see Giant Drop in the background.
