Anybody remember this $15,000 bronze statue?

Happy Birfday to Apollo's Chariot who turned 19 two days ago.

Seems like yesterday I was watching you come to life!

I was 5 at the time, but in 1999, seeing that big new coaster close to the gate blew my mind. Complete awe. :-3

I hope the park gives Apollo's Chariot a fresh coat of paint next year for the 20th anniversary.

Ok, dumb question time - Alpie's lift?

Ok yes! That's exactly what it is. Thank you. I was thinking Le Scoot lift but it didn't look right at all and it was in the wrong place.
