TimberWolf was/is further out to the outskirts of the park.


EDIT: Anyone here actually ride the Sky Hi? Didn't it leave the park under some kind of dark cloud?
The Screamrollere was WoF's first upside down coaster (and the only one they had until the Orient Express was built). it was built in 1976: http://www.worldsoffun.org/explore/R...ID=27&ParkID=1

I can remember riding the Sky Hi many times. I have no idea about why it was taken down.
