orient express must of made quite an impression on you. Orient Express / log ride what hell is the difference? 1 long seat on the express pretty sure the injuries would be a tad bit higher.

I remember summers where my cheap family made us go back out to the car for lunch that we packed in coolers, and the pavement was mushy under our feet because it was so hot.

My other favorite thing to do at WOF was the pitching game where you would guess your last throw and win a batting helmet of your choice if you got it right. I collected a crap ton of helmets, some of which are still in my parents' house.

Great memories.

Loved the pitching game.

It went back to sit down because of the stress it put on the track, it wasn't engineered to be a stand up coaster.

If you want to ride something similar the Loch Ness Monster at BGW also has interlocking loops.
