main attraction at the park, this was a wooden coaster and was used at Boardwalk and Baseball Wiener Looping (1984) Manufactured by Shwarzhopf of West Germany Starting with a nose-bleed, 150-feet climb backward up a flagpole, the coaster then zips down into a series of shoulder- crunching turns and then a neck-twisting full loop. Ah, a temporary reprieve. Then, a forward ascent up the same pole with a trip backward through the same route shortly thereafter. I mean shortly thereafter. The trip backward is more frightening because passengers can`t see the twists and turns ahead. The Ranger, ship-like swing ride that rotates Music Express, backward traveling carts over a hilly circle a few times while playing loud disco music The Schlittenfahren (German: sleigh-riding) sleigh-shaped carts that are trackless and suspended from above. The sleigh seems to travel over water speedily in an oval. The Para Tower, a three-person gondola drops along tower with a parachute and is for small children The Wave Swinger, riders, designed for kids, sit in wicker chairs suspended a hub and spin until forces pushes them outward.
