Opened on 5th May 1979 with “To fly”.
There is a vidro of the demolition on Six Flags Twitter page.
Is there anything on that site now?
Yes, and the answer is a yet another roller-coaster.
I saw “To Fly” in this theatre. It actually felt like I was going over a cliff in the balloon physically and was one of the best movie experiences in my life. It’s a shame they tore it down.
