Yeah, its back in the "Winner's Circle".

I don't think they were doing very well on selling those pictures you could get sitting inside of it. The photo booth was closed most of the time anyway. It's ok, I got to get my picture taken in it for free in early April because they needed a "test subject" to sit in it.

i being an avid hater of the stupid little toy of a dragracer am about to give you a sarcastic response. i am saying this as a way to keep myself safe later in the thread. thank you.

i heard from my brother's friend's dad's barber's friend who is married to a higher up in CP that they moved it because the wind kept on getting a hold of it and they would have to fish it out of the lagoon every morning. they moved it to the Winner's Circle because it is now sheilded from the wind there and can stay firmly planted on the ground this way. and not so many people have to look at it anymore...

Oh... they just moved it! I thought they took it away to remove the slicks, spoiler and engine so the theming would match the actual coaster trains. What was I thinking?!

hahaha...
i love hating the crappy little dragracer...
and apparently im not alone...

The car was moved because too many people were trying to climb into it and/or play with it while waiting in line for the ride. With the ride usually opening early on in the day a long line typically forms on the midway and can stretch back to the Sky Ride station before the queues are opened.

Ha!Ha! That makes sense to me! I could not have said it better!

Actually, the tires from the dragster cars are still on point! Go ahead and look in the speed zone shop. Theyre there. By the way, was funny to see speed zone with 3 inches of standing water in it on saturday. That'll teach them to build something thats lower than the surrounding concrete midway!

Wrong. The tires in the shop have been there since opening day.

DELETED! What time does the water show start?

Right. I think I saw someone in a canoe on the webcam going across the midway during that torrential downpour...must have been my imagination..;)
