It was late on the way home from the race in Darlington, so I did not get to stop and ride. Does anyone know anything about this coaster, i.e when did they put it in and who manufactured it? I know there are some NC/SC buzzers, so I was just wondering if you were aware of it. It was a total surprise to me. It looks really good - yellow track with gray supports. Flying by on I95, that is about all I could tell. I might actually have to stop and ride next time I go back that way - if it is a coaster, I gotta ride it! I am still amazed at "Pedro's Wild Mouse".

From what I've seen of that mouse, it looks good lit at night! Very attractive. How many will stop, I don't know. It looks like the same Crazy Mouse from NMB Garnd Prix that is open like one day a year, or that's what I thought. Glad to hear it's different(so it's like Wild Thang?), please be successful!
If you search a little, there are huge SOB fanatics, there are people that love that place. The history you will love, and it's true. Some guy was sitting there one day, thought, these people driving by, they must be thirsty, so he started selling beer. One day, while sitting there selling beer, he noticed he was sitting just south of the NC border, so he goes to Mexico, brings back a Mexican named Pedro(I am not lying), a box of somberos, and the man made lots of money. Everybody there used to have name tags saying their name was Pedro. Strange in the least, strange.
But I give them credit...they seem to make a killing and people eat it up. And any place that puts in a new coaster deserves a second look. :) Maybe it will draw in even more people and they can move up to a woodie, the Screamin' Burrito. Seriously, I am planning to ride the Mouse next time I go back by there. It did look good.
I think it was Forces of Nature, a movie with that Affleck guy, that had South of the Border and Sandra Bullock in it. Griswaldian indeed. We travel through there alot, and those billboards change often. Some of the classics remain, like the sheep, the car, and the tequila, as well as Pedro's address, in case you didn't yell loud enough. They do an entertaining job at rotating them. Let's do hope to see "South Carolina's Largest CCI, 32 Miles Ahead!" one of these days. Alright, that's pushing it, but who knows?!
BTW, my sister goes to the Darlington races.......
