Funny, I never remember Tidal Wave NOT having a line. Was it *really* unpopular?

--who was going to ride TW for the first time in 1992...but it was gone (love the replacement though :))

How do you KNOW it won't ever come back? Stranger things have happened you know....

Hey Jeremy...The only time I remember TW NOT having a line was at the VERY end of the night when you could get 12 rides in a row that were walk-on. And then it was only because the rest of the park was the same way. I always had to wait for TW.

Did you know that peeps STILL get SHOCKwave confused with TIDALwave? I've run into THAT one a few times over the years. Anyone else?

I wouldn't wish a Schwarzkopf Shuttle Loop on any small park for one main reason: It costs too much to take care of.

The last week of operation at Kennywood, their Laser Loop had to have its clutch replaced. It cost the park almost $15,000 to replace. And that was in 1990, so you can imagine the price on it now.

I love the ride. I rode TW (Viper) last April. It ran very well.
