I also thought that of the triple ferris wheel, I can't believe it is gone.<br /><br />The Demon was the first looping coaster I rode, and back then they had something called The Tidalwave that was nothing but one giant loop forward and backward. I never saw it devolve into a pure thrill park, but I do remember when The Edge first came to the park -- that might have begun the transformation.<br /><br />I also remember the shows, particularly the dolphin show. It was quite the little amusement park back then.skepticnoreply@blogger.com
