Which company opened an amusement park in 1976 which had a roller coaster dismantled in 1988?
Whizzer (roller coaster) Whizzer is an Anton Schwarzkopf Speedracer roller coaster located at Six Flags Great America in Gurnee, Illinois. It was one of two identical roller coasters built for the Marriott Corporation for each of their “Great America” parks at their debut in 1976, with an identical version of the Whizzer at California's Great America. Marriott continued to operate both parks until selling them in 1984. Manufactured by Anton Schwarzkopf of Germany, the two rides were the last “Speedracer” models ever built. The California Whizzer was dismantled in 1988 while the Illinois Whizzer remains in operation, as one of only two Speedracers still in existence worldwide (the other operating as Broca (formerly known as Zambezi Zinger) at Parque Nacional Del Café in Montenegro, Colombia).
Timberline Twister The Timberline Twister is a steel roller coaster located at Knott's Berry Farm in Buena Park, California. It was built in 1983 and is mainly aimed at younger kids, as well as adults under 5'9" tall who do not wish to go on the park's wilder roller coasters. The ride features small "bumps" and one lift hill. This mini-coaster is perfect for a thrill seeker who is not tall enough to go on the bigger rides. This ride is located in Camp Snoopy next to The Camp Bus Ride.
