It's pronounced "Hoos"?
The guidebooks, several years in a row, say that Columbia Carousel is 10-stories tall (I really hope they're counting the spire in that number).
SWG has the answers I have with one exception
The space occupied by Iron Wolf originally held the Whirlygig before Z-Force was located there. Wish I would have gotten here sooner :)

Wow. Is there any part of the park that 'gig hasn't been? By B:TR, V2, ZForce...
Does it qualify for the "most re-located ride" at SFGAm?

"Getting on Iron Wolf is kind of like going in a blender and pressing PUREE"
ChiTown you are incorrect. The ferris wheel was on the other side of the train station, over by the loading station for one of the sky rides. The WhirlyGig was in the spot where Iron Wolf is. I remember in that spot that they had a lot of trees planted in the area and that one's legs would barely scrape the tops of the trees. I also remember my parents waiting for the train over at the station over their and I would power ride the gig while waiting for the train to show up.
D8, I definately think the gig is the most relocated ride in the park. It has been in two different locations in Yankee Harbor and I believe once in Yukon and once in County Fair but I am not so sure about the Yukon location. Might be wrong on that one, might have been two seperate locations in County Fair.

Hollywood director Randall Duell designed Great America
The dolphins names were Nemo and Neptune
The Raceway bridge was removed for Splashwater Falls (it was once a figure 8)
Roaring Rapids was called White Water Rampage
The other Great America is in Santa Clara, CA.
The planned Great America was to be built in Manassas, VA. Southwest of Washington DC.
The shuttle captain from SSA is Hank Anderson. The co-pilot is, well, Co-Pilot Ericsson. The city on the moon is Armstrong City.
Giant Drop "dropped" in 1997
Great Midwest Livestock Exposition and County Fair
The other station was in a field beyond the westernmost boundary (where the Viper and Bull are right next to each other) You couldn't get off there. You had to ride back to Orleans.
Hope you had fun
