One thing that I noticed was that the Sky Ride was closed.
Not just closed but the entrances and exits were nailed shut which is
not a good sign.
Hopefully the Sky Ride is just down for the year and not down and out
for good as it is a wonderful ride. Taking the Sky Ride through
the center of the Monster makes both rides better so it would be a shame
to see it go.
By the way Adventureland's Sky Ride came from the 1974 World's Fair that
took place in Spokane Washington and came to Adventureland after the
fair came to a close.
Another ride that was down and completely gone was the Splash Over.
Hopefully Adventureland puts something good here. If you need a
suggestion I'd go for a Huss Frisbee or a S&S Screaming Swing.
Adventurelad's classic Philadelphia Toboggan Company designed Tea Cups
"Crazy Daisy" ride was up and running. Bond always enjoys a spin
on this old and unique ride.
Adventureland's A-Train is always a great way to get off your feet and
take a trip along one side of the park.
