Those cars were the best. I saw one of the Barney Oilfield race cars driving off the track in the closing parade this past weekend. It was so fun to kick back and let the track steer your car then, hard steer it the opposite direction for a jolty slow ride.

They have a new tracked car ride in the back called Krazy Kars but I believe adults can’t ride without a child. But it looks like the cars are big enough for most adults. My local park Dorney Park just brought bumper cars back last year after being without them for 7 years. And first electric powered cars since 1994. The old bumper cars were called Krazy Kars from 1992-2009 gas powered previously Disco Dodge with electric cars and the others were called Skooters from the 60’s to 1994.

Is this another lost ride? Was this where the rapids is? Cedar Point didn’t remove their antique cars but Kings Island did. That’s good footage for 1979. Valleyfair actually removed then rebuilt their antique cars in a new location. But, Cedar Point and Valleyfair removed their Arrow flumes but Six Flags Great America still has two Arrow flumes. Worlds of Fun is one of few parks to still have antique cars, steam train, log flume, and rapids. Most other parks removed one or more of those types of rides.

Rob you are correct. Traffique Jam was removed to make space for the Roaring Rapids water ride.
