Bad times

Although now a terrible ride which leaves you with cauliflower ears, it was iconic when it opened.

Thunderlooper?? was that the one with two gradients and a loop.. you'd go up one side to the top and then backwards through the loop?

what i mean is there was the beast and the black hole at the same time. i cant remember if the beast was an old black hole that came out or whether when the beast went it was moved inside to replace the original black hole

Never been on it

Can't believe they're scrapping it.

Gotta be one of the most famous things in the country.

You'd think they'd keep her for old time's sake and because she was their bread and butter for so long.
