I have ridden both rides and they're both very fun for their time. They had those and more at local fairs all my childhood, the same company still operates some of the other rides at our local fairs.

When did you work there Gobigmac, I worked there also 94 and later.

Seems poor Katilyn has had another setback LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- A Louisville teen who was severely injured on a ride at Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom is recovering from additional surgery performed over the weekend. Doctors reportedly removed some bone from the end of Katilyn Lasitter's left leg. NewsChopper 32 flew over the Superman Tower of Power ride, where part of her right leg was severed last summer. Crews appear to be in the early stages of dismantling the ride SFKK, really needs to do all they can for Katilyn, this has changed her life forever

Just a little update, I noticed today on my way to work, they have set up a couple of cranes beside S.T.O.P. Should only be a matter of days and it will be history.

I worked on Hellevator for 4 seasons off and on. Where the cable snapped was in front of the outside control panel. There is a E-Stop on that panel. The employee should have noticed it and hit the E-stop and signaled to the main operator in the control room.

I'm really digging these updates. I had that same Chance catalog, I used to write the companies and tell them I was doing a report for school. Do you by any chance have anything on S.D.C. from Italy? Keep it up, all this old stuff is good to help with the winter time blues.

This is good to hear, they need to focus on the waterpark for now, get people's attention off the rides. Deluge was a great new waterpark attraction this past summer, that got over shadowed by a bad accident.

Loving this PTR, not just coasters but behind the scenes as well, Good one Lou. Good way to pass the winter time blues.

Great photo TR, Tibidabo looks like a relaxing park. You took some really nice Photo's, loved the sunset pic.

Wish everyone of TPR and your families a Safe and Happy Holiday Season. May life be good to all of you in the New Year

Oh the aches and pains that brings back. They used to have that ride at the KY. State Fair, I remember riding it like it was yesterday, it was a horrible experience. Great video and PTR , helps with the Holiday blues.

WOW man, great PTR. Loved the sunset pics and yes, we all should pay "Homage" to the sun. Looks like you had a wonderful time.

Great trip down memory lane. I worked at Opryland from 94 til it closed. Was one of the best times of my life. I worked in the Petting Zoo and loved my job. It was a great experience many memories and good friends. Thank you for the memories. Side note: The Tin Lizzy cars are still poking around at SFKK

Great PTR, love the night pics, you captured some really good shots

A Christmas Carousel, because Pat has always wanted one, in place of the old theater, that they didn't use this summer and probably a Deluge type water coaster, between Bakuli and Bahari.

This is a sad thing to hear of anyone who's only 25, and had so many goals in life. I have seen him around on other forums also. Set up that donation and I'll give, for him and the animals.

Very nice PTR, love the last pic from the campground, very relaxing shot. Love the old " Sky Diver" pics, was one of my favorite rides growing up, don't see many of them anymore. Looks like you had a good weekend.

Fantastic PTR, love the pics, keep them rolling

Great PTR, loved your selection of pics, looks like you all had a blast.

Very entertaining PTR, loved the comedy touch added. Like to see different views of a park. Like reading your PTRs' Chuck, keep up the good job.

I'll be at Holiday World Tue aug. 7

Glad you enjoyed your trip to HW, it's my favorite park, been there 4 times this summer and going back Tue the 7. Would much rather go there than Kentucky Kingdom, and even CP. For anyone it's much more affordable than most other parks, free-drinks, parking, sun screen and tubes in the water park, and their food is very reasonable and just as good if not better than the other parks. The Voyage is my # 2 coaster, just doesn't let up

Nice little stroll down memory lane. I worked at Opryland in 94, early part of 95 and 1996. I worked in the Petting Zoo. That blacktop walk was our walkway from the wardrobe dept. Would walk that path every morning to get into the park for work. Sad to see all that remains is the Grizzly river. Thanks for the stroll...,,, I miss my Goats

All the Carpenters talk was right. Paulas latest blog says the " Carpenters" are getting a new work shop. No Valentines yet

Really great TR, brought back some old memories. When I was growing up I had a "second" family, that lived down the road from me, I spent a lot of time with them. On one of the trips I went on with them was a summer in Philly. We spent 9 weeks in philly, did the tours and seen the liberty bell, even went with a girl to her shool one day, big nightmare. The thing we did the most was drive to the coast, I spent about 35 days, off and on, on the boardwalk that summer loved it. This brought back some good memories. Thanks for a stroll down memory lane.
