There is a mini Whip in The kids area....its the Peanuts 500 (had to look up the name)
Its styled as mini race cars with Peppermint Patty holding the checkered flag.
Yes, Peanuts 500 is in Camp Snoopy (across from the Gemini). There is also one in Kiddie Kingdom (near the entrance of the arcade) The name of the one in Kiddie Kingdom is Roto Whip. I'm still saying there would be room to have an adult size whip. Maybe near the Blue Streak where Calypso / Turnpike cars used to be?
I didn't realize The Whip was an "adult" ride other than the ones in Kiddie Kingdom and Camp Snoopy. I really love Peanuts 500 and basically make my niece ride it every time so I can be the one to go on it with her lol. She really enjoys the RotoWhip too, and I always thought I would like it also (if I had been able to ride it).
I do not know about a world view, but offhand, I know of six whips here in Pennsylvania. Regular family ones at Dorney Park, Knoebels, Hershey Park, and Kenneywood. Additionally Knoebels has a kiddie one with a fifty-four inch maximum, and Dorney Park has a Peanuts 500. Although it is always nice to see parks rescue old rides, this is a ride that could be built in house easily.
Dutchman's post has a link with 2 videos of "Mega Whirl". The Promotional Video makes it look like a fun ride with sudden turns & decent speed. The Public Debut Video has it operating at a speed that appears very slow, the ride would be boring. A ride like that would be a great addition to CP, who cares where it is located as it is quite small. There isn't too many "Family" rides in Frontier Town, maybe they could utilize some space there.
