Neither are there anymore but we did get a chance to film it using a friend's new super8 camera!

I recently had it all transferred to DVD and this thread could give me incentive to create some sort of link for it or something! We were making a short film for a swimclub and so at the end I tried to cut in someone riding down the slide at our pool. That's not there anymore either.

Liability ruined everything, but gawd what a freakin scary ride it was!

I think THIS is it??

OMG! That is it! I had forgotten the name of the amusement park until you mentioned it. I still have some ride ticket stubs in my scrapebook as well as postcard picturing the rollercoaster. What a shame the park is gone having been replaced by condos.

Thanks for sharing the link!
