Classic Pics: Six Flags Worlds of Adventure (defunct) - Page 2

A look back at the park that was too big for its own good and is now nothing more than a memory: the short-lived Six Flags Worlds of Adventure in Aurora, OH. (Note: all photos taken with disposable cameras)

Ray > A horrible shot of Superman Ultimate Escape, which was the world's first twisting impulse coaster. The ride was designed by Intamin.

Ray > A look at Superman Ultimate Escape's rear spike, which featured a holding brake that literally paused the train in this position for about one second. Some guests loved the feature, others hated it. Also note the blue metal canopy of the Musik Express in the lower left corner. Superman now calls Dorney Park in Allentown, PA home where it is known as VooDoo.

Ray > A nice look at Shipwreck Falls, an OD Hopkins Shoot-The-Chutes ride. The ride now operates at Celebration City in Branson, MO.

Ray > Looking up at the Americana Giant Wheel.

Ray > Mr. Hyde's Nasty Fall (Intamin Free Fall) was painted purple and green for the 2000 season. The ride was originally known as The Edge at Marriott's Great America in Gurnee, IL. Mr. Hyde's is now being used as spare parts on Cedar Point's Demon Drop.

Ray > Not exactly the greatest picture, but this look up the lift hill of Villain (2000 CCI wooden coaster) shows how it towered over the park.

Ray > X-Flight (2001 Vekoma Flying Dutchman coaster) was the fifth coaster added to Six Flags Worlds of Adventure in a 2 year time frame. At the time of its opening, it was one of only 3 "flying coasters" in the entire world. This shot shows off the ride's "Horseshoe Curve" element.

Ray > A LONG line of guests waits to experience the latest in coaster thrills. Here the blue train navigates the forceful vertical loop element.

Ray > A random shot of the park taken from X-Flight's loading platform. Mr. Hyde's Nasty Fall is to the left, the Big Dipper and El Dorado (themed Weber 1001 Nachts) are in the center, Mind Eraser (Vekoma Boomerang) and the Skyscraper are to the right. This shot also sort of shows the unique dual-station loading system used on X-Flight. A track piece would flip and align itself with either side of the station to dispatch trains while another loaded.
