scott Posted April 4, 2015 Report Share Posted April 4, 2015 It's a shame it had to go. It isn't an exciting ride but when it was operational in the 80's and 90's I took a spin with the express each visit. Then in the 2000's I was able to take my older daughter on it a few times. I will have to add this to the rides I will miss from my teen years. I hope it means new things to come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laurenalexis Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 Does anyone know it's final location? By that I mean was it sent straight for scrap like the Looping Starship or is it in the boneyard? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29yrswithaGApass Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 The cars were sent to Magic Mountain years ago. The rest was just scrapped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrpq Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 fun fact. If you google map great adventure and look over the section of the park where this ride is you can see the tent/roof is all torn/ burnt. might have been from when they had the fire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29yrswithaGApass Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 ^ There was no fire at the Musik Express. The rips in the cover were age and weather related. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29yrswithaGApass Posted August 8, 2018 Report Share Posted August 8, 2018 I heard this song on XM the other day and it reminded me of the Musik Express in the late '80s. During the light attendance years of 1987 and 1988 this ride was almost always empty and the ride cycle was usually extra long. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbone112499 Posted March 22, 2019 Report Share Posted March 22, 2019 This was a fun Spotlight to work on! The Musik Express was one of the few things I wasn't too scared to ride back when I was little and this was still at the park. Deja Vu is a great reminder of the ride and I hope we can get another true Musik Express model in the future! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29yrswithaGApass Posted March 22, 2019 Report Share Posted March 22, 2019 Big thanks to Tbone for all his help with this Spotlight! The Musik Express was the longest operating/standing of all the removed rides at the park. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29yrswithaGApass Posted January 21, 2021 Report Share Posted January 21, 2021 Here is another one of the songs that I recently heard and reminded me of the Musik Express. This Stevie Nicks songs was played a lot around 1983 on the ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29yrswithaGApass Posted September 2, 2022 Report Share Posted September 2, 2022 I recently acquired the earliest photo of the Musik Express that I have ever seen! This had to be taken just after it was introduced in 1976 as it still has the German lettering "MIT MUSIK GEHT ALLES BESS" which translates into "Everything Goes Better with Music". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
