AllenA07 Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 The Eagles Flight stations were Shangri-La (at the top of the mountain, the station still there but not used); El Dorado (where Freefall is); and Galaxy (where the Superman tower is). Ninja didn't replace anything, but its station was the upper station for The Dragon, a slow transportation ride that took you from the big station behind Spin Out/Soda Shack up to the top. What was the original name of the restaurant that is now the Laughing Dragon Pizza Co. and what type of restaurant was it? Eric A couple things that I can add to this... Sometime if you're in the Ninja Station look at the ground and you can see where the platform used to turn. The upper station of Eagles Flights (near Ninja) is actually where we staged a Halloween show. A small bit of trivia, can you name the last date that Eagles Flight was dispatched? I can tell you that it is indeed recored on the control panel for the ride inside of the Shangri-La station. Finally... I believe the restaurant was called Seasons (could be wrong) and it was a cheap steak house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jew Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 "Bleep, Blop, Blip and the wizard." (jew) No, the trolls were Bloop, Bleep, and Blop. Eric I thought Bleep was the chick, Bloop was the dude, Blip was the baby, and the King was the...King? There's also another troll costume in what used to be the theater (now a break room/storage room) in Spllikin Corner (now Psyclone Bay). Anyways...here's some of the other answers I think I know. What used to be housed in the current PlayPass Processing Center? I believe part of the Clown maze for Fright Fest was there. Also, wasn't that the Texas Instruments display place? Which ride in the park uses the greatest amount of power? Roaring Rapids. What was the Sky Tower orignally built for? A playboy club in Chicago. Which company desinged Buccaneer? Giovanola. Who desinged Sierra Twist? Schwarzkopf. What did yosemite sam's flight school used to be called? Red Baron or Baron von Fudd depending how how far back you want to go.

colossus Posted February 22, 2006 Author Share Posted February 22, 2006 what was circus wheel originaly? how fast do the cars at granny grand prix go? nam the Eight separate themed areas with that have there own distinctive attractions? name three past shows at sfmm? name the coasters that were in the park in the year 1980? what is the largest investment that sfmm has ever put in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebl Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 Laughing Dragon was originally called the Four Winds Steakhouse. I think a better question is how slow the Granny Grand Prix cars go. In 1980, there was the Gold Rusher, Mountain Express, Revolution, and Colossus. Oh, and the Wile E. Coyote Coaster. I've noticed the former turntable in the Ninja station. I think there are still a couple of remnants of the old Dragon track, aren't there? Or did SFMM rip the rest of it out when Ninja went in? I never think to look for it.

Jew Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 ^Dragon Track still runs about half way down the hill from the top, and a little bit of the way up the hill from the bottom station (which is still there as well). Basically whatever didn't have to be removed for Ninja's construction is still there. In fact, one of the ways an operator can walk down to Jet Stream's drop is by going through the Ninja station and taking a "path" that is made up of the old track. -Joey "Walked as much of the Dragon track as I could" Mandel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrs28330 Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 For the PlayPass center, I was looking for the TI exhibit. Jokster's Hideout is now housed next to the current processing center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapseofreason Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 name the eight separate themed areas that have their own distinctive attractions. High Sierra Territory Gotham City Colossus County Fair Samurai Summit Cyclone Bay Baja Ridge Pirate's Cove and... um... Six Flags Plaza? (this is off the top of my head, btw... no research required) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebl Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 ^ I think Pirates Cove went away and was absorbed into Colossus County Fair. There's also The Movie District (where Riddler's Revenge and Freefall are). Does anyone remember what was where Hurricane Harbor is now?

Jew Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 ^^Uhm...queue layout #1, queue layout #2, and queue layout #3?? Queue layouts have names?!?!?! -Joey "Flashbacks overflow queue is now a maintenance storage area" Mandel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haiderodes Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 ^good job..I forgot that Grinder Gearworks was once Gordon Gearworks! The original Circus Wheel was indeed a Chance Trabant. It was removed during the early stages of Goliath construction and the Jolly Roger (Tilt a Whirl) was moved into that space...it just so happened to keep the name as Circus Wheel. If you get a chance to watch the opening sequence of Step by Step they show Patrick Duffy in front of the former Circus Wheel and Susan Sommers in front of what was then called Turbo. It also shows that big tent like structure they used to have in the middle of Colossus County Fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3rdShiftCM Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 Dude, I loved the Enterprise, removed for a queue. Why didn't they just move it, Z-Force too. Goes to show you how long they have been losing more then gaining. MM used to be a family park and was so much easier to get around. Can anyone name all the different transportation rides there used be to at MM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
