    You may want to get a more contemporary comparison reference; Magic Mountain dismantled Freefall 11 years ago.

    Thanks for the heads-up. I haven't been back to California in a decade and had no idea Freefall is gone.

    To help pay my way through college, I worked at Six Flags Magic Mountain and in keeping with the Halloween theme, I was there for the inaugural year when they did the Haunted Mountain overlay for the holiday. I wrote and directed a spooky stage show, did artwork for the children's area in particular the maze and performed as Dr. Electric with his electric chair where I encouraged guests to take a seat and if they jumped up before I turned off the current, their rear ends got a nasty shock. My brother also performed juggling chainsaws while blindfolded. I bet none of that stuff would pass muster these days.

    Thanks for the article, Jim ! 👍

    It was nice to re-read the history behind the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror ..... only to be reminded that Bob "just call me stupid" Chapek's idea they everything must have Disney intellectual property attached to it meant DCA's got replaced by something both DUMB and INFERIOR (think of this as the equivalent to when Disneyland's Tomorrowland lost it's Peoplemover to Rocket Rods - yeah that DUMB and STUPID!) 🙄
