Shortest lived rides at CP

It doesn't really matter to me where the tallest ride is in the park and how it relates to magnum.

and check out the top left postcard of the Millrace.
The monorail track and Bluestreak can be seen in the background.

How about the bubble bounce - how long did that last?

That's interesting... It almost looks like the Monorail isn't high enough to clear the Mill Race. Another thing; see those gaps in the Blue Streak supports? I never noticed those before. If I didn't know any better, I'd swear that the Blue Streak in the background was a very good drawing. Or wait,... Is it?

Fordman, you're not dreaming. Those gaps are there. The right gap is located at the intersection where you drive into the parking lot by Bay Harbour and the Boathouse. The second gap is by the Raptor platform. It's literally right in front of you when you leave the raptor station. There is also a third one down the line. I think it's in the curve back at the end.

When I leave the Raptor station, I usually go immediately to the left to go sit on a bench to regain my thoughts. Maybe that is why I never noticed that one gap.

A couple short lived rides were the Yankee Bullet which was around only during WWII. Another short lived ride was the Moon Rocket which lasted only a couple seasons right after the war. It was taken down due to poor business.
Is it cheating to mention the Nestea Plunge... the name the Mill Race operated under for one season?
