It's that time of year again for us to realize how old we're becoming..... LOL . Here are some important anniversary dates coming this year for attractions that are still with us.
10 years.... Pipe Scream, Lake Erie Eagles.
25 years.... Camp Snoopy, Planet Snoopy (formerly Peanuts Playground)
30 years... Raptor ( where did that time go?)
35 years... Magnum XL-200
45 years.. Wave Swinger, Wilderness Run (formerly Jr. Gemini). NOW i feel old.
55 years.... Cedar creek Mine ride
60 years.... Blue Streak (seemed like yesterday we were celebrating it's 50th)
What seems weird to me is that, when Millennium Force was going up, Raptor was six-years-old, and that seemed interesting. Now Millennium Force is 24, and Raptor is 30, and Mine Ride was almost that back in 2000. I think maybe the point is that the advances in ride technology and manufacturing were dramatic back then, but now, not so much.
