I havent seen this posted before and forgive me if it has. In Necropolis after you get passed the bush people there is a Haybayler car in the first exhibit. During the fight scene on the Boo Line they use a car from the Traffique Jam and it is also used in the parade. I dont bring a camera to the park so Im sorry for not posting pictures. If youre interested check it out.

Yeah I noticed the Haybaler car in Necropolis too. I thought that car in the train show looked familiar.

The top for the Traffique Jam car is not the original top. It is custom made. And Remember "Loud Pipes Save Lives".

I still don't understand why they couldn't relocate the Haybaler somewhere else in the park when Deja Vu got installed.

Those are fun rides.

The condition of Haybaler when it was removed prevented it re-installation in the park. It suffered severe corrosion after its many seasons in the park.

Reassembly would have been difficult, if possible at all. That and parts were hard to come by.

Some one on a different site had pictures from Dorney Parj during there halloween activites and it was kind of cool where they set up a graveyard that had tombstones of rides that are no longer at the park.
It would be nice to SFGAM to honor departed rides in some manner.

Nope. Wrong again Johnny.

We made that especially for the Seven Sins Cemetery in 2005.

The only thing left from Shockwave is the station building, back in the boneyard.

Some people know what they are talking about. Some do not. Most people won't say outright if they work at the park or not but if you do a little bit of thinking ( I know its hard...) you might figure out who. People on the forums would be suprised at who works and the park, and by how many times the people who work at the park have seen the people who are on the forums.

Wow, its poles from Shockwave, if they even are from Shockwave. It was a ride that is gone forever and something that will never be coming back no matter how much you want it back. Its not worth getting all excited about something Shockwave in the park, they are just utilizing their resources instead of having to buy and make new things.

I don't think they even look the same. The shockwave ones are more curved.
