    Cedar Point used to have a Bob Sled ride where the GateKeeper currently is located. Sometime in the 90's it was put indoors and named Disaster Transport. It was horrible when they put it indoors because there was no air conditioning and was terribly hot in the summer. Thanks for the video Jacob.

    Great job Jacob! Wish I could have been at yesterday’s anniversary celebration. I feel honored to have been the producer for our DVD documentary about the Haunted Mansion in 2008. It was named the Haunted House at that time, and the skull room was where the current upside down room is now. Felt like I lived inside that ride for a week! So glad the ride is still going strong. May it operate for another 50-plus!

    Jacob, the Flying Horses Carousel in Watch Hill RI has a brass ring dispenser, so feel free to add this to the list. I think that the Looff Carousel in Riverside RI has one too. Great seeing Dark Ride Dracula giving The House Of Horrors at Rocky Point Park in Rhode Island some love! That’s my favorite dark ride ever! Something tells me The Looper might be THE ROCK N’ ROLL from Rocky Point and also that Viking at The Sploosh, which used to be at The House of Horrors!

    35:11 The only one of these in the world which is why it got a LOT of press when it was built. Knoebels spent several years designing and perfecting this century old type of coaster while making sure it was up to modern codes. They pulled off something few other parks would even think about resurrecting. Only thing similar would be the steel versions that popped up in the 80s (Kings Dominion still has theirs I believe). Back in the golden age of parks there were 7 or 8 wooden Flying Turns coasters in the US (full list on rcdb), the largest example I can think of was at Cleveland's Euclid Beach (torn down in 1969 with the other coasters when that park sadly closed and was replaced by a state park and apartments).

    Two random thoughts while watching: -love any time the trimpers haunted house is mentioned -speaking of carousels, I’m sure you know about trimpers and how old it is. Did you know it is all allegedly also haunted? There is a specific horse, white with very princes looking accents (light blues, pinks, roses) that is supposedly haunted by a woman in white. She had a relation to the Trimper family that I cannot remember anymore.
