Orbit is not a Huss enterprise. It's Schwarzkopf. Not sure what number, I think it's 4. Fiddler's Fling (Calypso) I think is number 3. Not sure, I'll go and look for a Schwarkopkf site that has the information I'm looking for. And the Lobster is a Montster, not sure what number. I think it's 4 :lol:

. I believe that the scrambler is made by Eli Bridge.Oh here is the website.http://schwarzkopf.coaster.net/HauptmenueGF.htmIt has all the information you could ever ask for about anything and everything Black Head!

Yeah, wow nice info... Where did you find all that greatamerica2003? Or did you just know it?

by **coasterzak** on April 20th, 2003, 10:41 pm

He probably got it from his special books because he works at the park. I want to know more from this guy! He is just full of knowledge!

by **greatamerica2003** on April 20th, 2003, 11:43 pm

I'm glad that someone corrected me. Thanks.Most of it I knew, some of it I had to look for.If you want to know something, ask. It's a bit difficult to come up with stuff myself.

I had to correct you. I could not allow someone to get away with mistaking a Huss ride for perfection. :twisted:

With the exception of Orbit, you can usually tell if a ride is a Schwarzkopf (from my observations) because of the kick release for the lap bars. You can tell the difference from a Black Head (in English, Schwarzkopf means black head,) from a Huss Enterprise by the doors. Schwarzkopfs lift up, Huss have doors like Condor's.
