Man, this was exactly the time I went with my friends as often as I could. I'm very close in age to the kids in the video. What a trip down memory lane.
This is some really great old footage of my favorite park! Reminds me of being a kid. Thank you! How did you manage not to drop the camera on the rides?
DUDE! The Skyhawk! That’s what I was looking for! I rode this once when I was about 11 or 12 with my cousin and I never forgot it because he spun the pod upside down and kept it there the whole time. He said the stick broke. Scared the S out of me. Still super fun in my memory though.
Wow. A blast from the past. The Edge, Vortex, Skyhawk, Revolution.....all gone. Yeah, Patriot uses the same tack as Vortex did, but it's a different ride.
@glenen grivas, when the algorithm kicks in, you will able to take care of your grandchildren for years to come. I went there every summer day from 1996 to 2000!
I remember going to great America when top gun first opened. Vortex was rad, man I miss those days. The Orleans orbit, the tidal wave, grizzly sucked tho.
