What is (was?) "Turn Of The Century"?

It's what Demon is now. It was called that before 1980. It also had only the corkscrews and not the first two loops. It had hills instead of them and there wasn't the tunnel. In 1980, the loops were added, and the ride was renamed and then rethemed to what it is today.

Oops, I thought that was the site with Turn of the Century pictures. I'm unable to find the site I'm looking for, but I did stumble upon a few pictures:

If you search through some old SFGAm threads here, I'm sure someone liked to old Marriott pictures.

While not the very best quality, there are 2 pics (one with the old sign) at RCDB.com

Wow, that pic shows two flat rides that used to be at the park and neither is there anymore. The first is the Industrial Revolution, which was a modified Himalaya. The second is the Bottoms Up, which is like the now former Schwabinchen at CP. I cut my teeth on those two rides along with the Yukon Yahoo and Hometown Fun Machine.

I know this is a little off the topic, but it's nice to see some Sky Whirl pictures. Man do I miss that ride.

Since they took out many flats over the years. How many flat rides do they have now at SFGAM ?

I hope they add some more flats within the coming years. flasts are fun when you are tired out from riding rollercoasters too long.

SFGAm has 14 flat rides, four water rides, two tower rides, a simulator, a train, and an antique car ride. The list is below.

Columbia Carousel (double decker carousel)
Triple Play (Huss Troika)
Hometown Fun Machine (scrambler)
Orbit (Schwarzkopf Enterprise)
Trailblazer (Zamperla Joker)
River Rocker (Zamperla Galleon)
Ricochet (Huss Swingaround)
Chubasco (Zamperla teacups)
Ameri-Go-Round (Dentzel Carousel)
Fiddler's Fling (Schwarzkopf Calypso)
Whirligig (Zierer Waveswinger)
East River Crawler (Schwarzkopf Monster)
Rue Le Dodge (bumper cars)

Logger's Run (Arrow log flume)
Ice Mountain Splash (Arrow hydroflume)
Splashwater Falls (shoot-the-chutes)

Yeah that is a very nice list. Did you have to use the park map for that or did you know all of that in your head?

No, it's all in my head. :)

I've been to the park countless times in the past few years, so SFGAm is now easily the park I know best.
