< 1995 1997 >

News & Notes:  New for the 1996 season was Skull Mountain, an indoor "family" coaster, featuring an elaborately themed building and queue.   The ride system designed and built by INTAMIN features long trains which travel a tire driven lift hill which runs outdoors behind a waterfall, then plunges into darkness for the rest of its course.    

The Rotor (also known as Typhoon) was relocated to the Hernando's Hideaway section of Frontier Adventures, and was renamed Taz Twister, where it remained until the end of the 2005 season.
