Calypso

I remember it was always gettign re-decked with all the wood slats which must have cost a fortune along with other maintenance.

 

I'm guessing they purchased it used because it seemed old even when it was new. The same ride at Great America (which was built just a year or two later) featured completely different cars with automatic lap bars (same cars that were on Monster Spin).

I just updated this spotlight with a newly confirmed interesting tidbit.  The oversized superstructure at the center of the Calypso ride lasted at Great Adventure for only one season.

In the 1974/75 off-season it was removed and replaced with a simple cap by the start of the park's second season.
