29yrswithaGApass Posted September 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 I remember the sign. I think it had balloons on it? I'm going to guess 200. Each fun fact was a different color balloon being held by Bugs Bunny. I'll post a picture of the sign when I post the answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GAcoaster Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 Wow, with that statistic about the number of people employed that means they've now had about 150,000 employees!

29yrswithaGApass Posted September 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2008 ANSWER: ^ Yes! The Runaway Train and The Great Train Ride both had the same number of trains - 4! The Runaway Train originally opened with four trains although they only operated three at once. The Great Train Ride originally opned wth two trains but two additional trains were added in 1975. So which had more trains? They both had at most four. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
