The Experience

* Arrangement: Riders are arranged 2 across in 3-bench cars, 6 seats per car for a total of 18 riders per train.
* Notes: Built at a cost of $75,000 USD. Frank F Hoover was the construction supervisor for PTC Serial No: 113.
* Features: Herb Schmeck, assisted by Allen, started out with a traditional L-shaped out & back coaster design. However, he made the first drop parabolic giving the riders the feeling that they were floating as the train descended.
* History: Closed in 2004. Reopened in 2006 after being purchased by the T-Rex Group out of Seattle, known for helping to revitalize smaller parks. Carpenters were difficult to locate and volunteers took on the task of getting the coaster ready for primetime again. Known as Roller Coaster from 1949 to 2005. Since renamed in 2006 when the ride was resurrected.
