Hmm, dead thread? never got some answers? could you hide them in the wrong color or something?

 

Also what do you mean sky tower was for playboy chicago? it was built at the park. The tower museum has pictures of it under construction.

 

And what olympic training was done at rapids?

 

Answers:

Transportation rides: Funicular?/Orient Express, Dragon, Sky Tower, Metro(monorail), grand centennial train, eagle's flight both sides, plus misc little kids rides.

 

The dolphin show was where batman was right? and the mystic lake was up front replaced by hurricane harbor? I think that's right.

 

Did el bumpo get replaced by the dolphin show or were they there at the same time? El bumpo was in that water behind "waterfront", the gazebo is still there. Did somebody say those are the same boats as the ones over at Mountasia or are they lying to me?

 

 

It was Atom Smasher, after Subway after Himalaya.

 

What were all the stores in spillikin bay? I know glass blower, candy, candleshop, I'm not sure if the sign guy was there back then. Anyone have a good map from then?

 

Plus where exactly was the nightclub, what places served alcohol, and Before mooseburger lodge was Timbermill, and before that was Das Alpenhaus.

 

Can anyone help me with some of these?

^Sky Tower was (obviously) built @ SFMM. But it's not like it something like that is custom. The story goes that it was originally fabricated for the Playboy Club in Chicago, but later sold to Magic Mountain.

 

And the nightclub was in what is now Gotham City. I think it was just an outdoor dance floor.

[Revolucion]

The train was replaced by Z-Force (I think it used the old station). Z-Force was replaced by Batman.

 

The sky coaster replaced the spilliken corners theater.
