Above left: The huge Steel Force lift hill dwarfs the 1924 Thunderhawk. Above: as seen from the employees parking lot, the bunny hops on the return path of Steel Force are larger than the lift hill on some coasters. Left: Thunderhawk is zipping around the back turnaround, part of it's 1929 addition.

Left: For 1999, Laser gets a new paint job and new trains as well. As seen here, the ride is now Purple and Lime Green. The new trains look pretty cool too.

Above: The race cars shown here were transplanted from Cedar Point. Also shown is the small carousel setup just below the parks antique Dentzel Carousel. Below: Coasters Drive-In is the coolest place to eat in the park (on hot days, literally) and a kiddie ride gets ready to serve future coaster enthusiasts.
