^^^no doubt...!
somebody here just told me that the Earthquake and the old Pirate Ride were bought by Cedar Point in the 60's from a defunct amusement park in NY...........that was info that I did not know.
They were definitely very vintage, and probably were way behind anything Disney was doing at that time, still...have some nostalgia for them because both were exciting and creepy when I was a kid.

The Bat looks a lot better than Top Gun.

Does anyone else think the Beast is GOAT?

Does anyone like the Son of Beast? I've always thought it was pretty sweet.

King Cobra was pretty amazing until Cedar Point came out with the Mantis.

Is the Earthquake Ride the same at the one at Universal Studios?

It was similar-but not nearly as "high tech"...we are talking a ride from the 60's.....

IMO-the beast is great, but it is the only thing that KI has, so I would much rather go to Cedar Point.

I rode the Phantom of the Opera ride too back in the day. Brings back memories.

Is the Son of Beast opening up again this year?
