Wow, this is exactly how I feel. Very well put! Riding RT in these past few seasons I would still expect the fun, smooth ride that I experienced as a child. And each season I would just become more disappointed about the ride. I think I started missing RT as soon as I noticed it feeling shabby (and when they stopped playing Loony Tunes while on line LOL). It just wasn't the same ride.

Hello everyone After reading this entire thread, I have a lot of mixed feelings about rolling thunder. Like most kids, it was my first rollercoaster and i loved every second of the ride. My dad would force me to face my fears and go on roller coasters I'd never go on. Now that it's coming down I'm extremely sad but I understand why. When I used to go to sfga with my friends they'd scoff at RT and say it hurt their neck and back. They'd say how tall and great el toro was compared to roller thunder and "why do they even have it anymore". My younger brother (8 years) would say "I thought the ride was going to break" after riding it. Whether or not sfga should be maintaining their rides better (which they should be) they weren't going to fix up RT anytime soon and to people who dont really care about history, it was just there. We just dont understand it because we love the history so much!

Hello everyone! I honestly didn't go to the park much around the time the Golden Kingdom just opened but I do remember the tigers in their habitat. It was a pretty elaborate habitat so I was curious as to why they removed the tigers. My boyfriend told me that his friend (who worked at fright fest the year the tigers got taken out) said they just randomly took away the tigers one day to the next, nothing said. I was wondering if anyone knew about that? and like I said, I didn't really go to the park around this time so please correct me if I'm incorrect about anything. Thank you
