Not that anyone would notice, but in those great pictures, Johnny's Burgers has been enclosed. It was a walk up before, now it is walk up in Air conditioning. To me, that is exciting.

Why is Paramount's site soooooooo slow? They need to take some pointers from Cedar Fair on a quick-loading site.

Anyhow, who lost their Troika? There is no way that it's a new ride.

My guess is PGA lost their Troika.  I can't remember exactly if they had one when I was there in '00, but they probably did at one time since SFGAm does now.

Where exactly is Ricochet located.?

And that troika will be a very welcome addition.  Hopefully their ride collection will finally get some rounding out.

Well okay, if Triple Spin (the troika) is placed over there by Shockwave, then why the hell did they take out the Scrambler (over by Rebel Yell)?

Maybe PGA and PKD did an 'exchange'...

When I was at PKD on closing day I asked about the scrambler.  They told me that it was just removed early for rehab and that it would be back in 2002.  Did they change their minds?

jeremy, it sounds like a Paramount version of the SF "ride-exchange" program...I'll give you a spin'n'spew for a whirl'n'hurl, but you gotta throw in an upcharge - either a climbing wall or the bungee trampolines...LMAO...

With mice making this kind of comeback, it's a shame more aren't spinning...I guess Primeval Whirl COULD count as two spinners...

If triple spin has been placed over by shockwave then they must be removing wave swinger,please say they aren't.

...just my opinion, but is it really an AMUSEMENT park if it doesn't have a Wave Swinger...BGT please take note...

BF-SFA: Wrong side of the midway! The Wave Swinger is on the Rebel Yell side of the path, Triple Spin is on the Shockwave side.
