I'll go for inactivity. What does the Matterhorn structure include due to a local law, and what is that law?

Back when it was built. Anaheim had height restrictions where no building could be that height, unless it was a sports facility. So disney dodged this by putting a basketball hoop in the attic.

Two of our current rides used to have on ride effects. What two rides had them, and what were they?

I think there's more than two. Rue Le Dodge, Loggers Run, Fiddlers Fling, Triple Play, Great America Scenic Railway, and Columbia Carousel.

Triple Play was dismantled prior to the start of the season because Six Flags Over Texas had received the HUSS Troika that was located at AstroWorld and it was damaged during demolition. It needed a part from our Triple Play and that's why it as closed for the 2006 season.
