The Stagecoach ride

This is probably one ride Cedar Point would like to forget due to the 1968 accident that resulted in several guests getting hurt. No one died but I think 3 were hospitalized. Anyone remember this incident. CP I guess never had the stagecoach again. Anyone ride the stagecoach?

Once, but I wasn't a big fan..

Rode it and enjoyed it..DO you remember the pony rides also?

I rode the Stagecoach ride many times and enjoyed it also. CP had much more of a Wild West theme back then. Anyone remember the live train robbers they used to have on the CP&LE RR?

Stardoors: The Stagecoach ride was a real stagecoach, pulled by live horses, around some paths that were in the vicinity of where the Frontier Trail is now.

Silverwood's train ride still has the "train robbers" bit. I hadn't seen that anywhere before. It was entertaining, but sure extended the ride time.

There is an on-board stick-up on Knott's train.

Thanks Pete - that's sound cool. :)

I remember hearing about the train robbers, but I never saw them. That would be cool if they brought them back, but it probably won't happen.
