it's a rough one, so I'll give it a hint, it has to do with a bobsled coaster, but nowhere near switzerland.

Did they take part in the relocation of Alpine Bobsled from Great Adventure to Great America as Rolling Thunder?

It might have something to do with Rolling Thunder between SFGAdv and SFGAm. Here's a hint/giveaway...

Maybe they built new cars for higher capacity?

^close ^^ B&M has never made anything, at that point in time everything they did was contracted out to Giovanola, so the cars were Giovanola.

They did the design work for the cars on Rolling Thunder. There is a huge difference between design and build. I guess I'll ask the next question which is easier. Answer has to be online somewhere and probably easily searchable, though I haven't looked other than RCDB (not there). What date did Rolling Thunder open?

During the summer of 1975, nearly how many trees and shrubs were planted in and around the park site each day?
