This was my absolute favorite ride when it was new (okay every ride was at some point, but this one especially). I was about 10 years old, and anything to do with cars has always been special to me. I love that the ride is still there, but it'll never be the same again. I've always said that the Paramount theming and special effects were on par with Disney/ Universal, and it's sad they're gone. When i was young, I was always jealous Cedar Point got the huge thrill rides, but it never occured to me at the time that Paramount didn't need a Mellinium or Dragster to draw people, and frankly, Cedar Fair would've outdone them if they tried. Paramount stuck to what they did best - telling a story and immersing guests in the rides. Looking back, I'm greatful for those memories! And even though CF has stepped back from the huge record breakers, they're now doing a pretty good job with story telling on the new rides, so it's the best of both worlds now.

If you listen closely to the one at kings dominion, you can here the water effect go of in the splash down but there’s no water that comes out of it.

when they built this ride the park used to be own by paramount pictures. Once they sold the parks in 2006 they had to get rid of the themeing and effects that related to the Italian job. After the 2007 season they got rid of it due to copyright

This was the only major coaster not open when we went for the first time in August. Oh well. We’ll get it in the future. :)
