Since we were seeing the Ozark Wildcat being built!

These were taken in December 2002...

Wow, it looked so much larger when it was going up.

Mmm, I remember the excitement building up around this ride alone. At the time I wasn't even a self-described coaster enthusiast, but my heart started thumping everytime I saw it's progress.

I know what you mean.  I think the things they put around it, "shrank" it a little.

I was just going through some old photos last night and found these.  I actually have a bunch more, but I liked these two the best.

Wow, can't believe it's been that long...

There was a lot of hype with this ride.
