Only 3 this year. :( 2024-Bobcat-Six Flags Great Escape 2024-Penguin Trek-SeaWorld Orlando 2024-Phoenix Rising-Busch Gardens Tampa

Not exactly from the theme park industry, but what a rare cred! Who wouldn't want to be able to take a ride around and through their office?

...as well as winged trains! Everything about it says no (and yes at the same time). 😜

A rider's lapbar on Desert Storm at Castles and Coasters opened as the coaster climbed the lift hill. The quick-thinking guest managed to get out of the car onto the catwalk just before the train crested the hill. As he walked down to the station he was met by the ride operator, who he told that...
