Title: What happened to the Track #2?
Post by: Swoosh on February 05, 2011, 11:33:54 PM
I just noticed while looking at the Track website that #2 is no longer mentioned.

You have...
#1 by the Pirate's Cove
#3 which has Wild Woody and Kids Korner
#4 which has the Sky Coaster and the new Heavy Metal Highrise
#5 which has the Lumber Jack

what happened to #2?  Wasn't it by Dixie Stampede?

Was Track #2 the little one closest to Hwy 65 on the strip?  Or was that one taken out a long time ago?

Yes it was by Dixie Stampede. It's been gone for a while now (as in several years). We were just by there about 3 weeks ago, but I can't quite place what's there now. Nothing, maybe.

That was actually Track 1 and yes, it's been gone even longer than Track 2. The one on Green Mountain is just called The Track at Pirates Cove. No number.

OK.  I never went to Track 1, but I remember driving by it all the time.

Wow, those drops look INSANE for a go-cart. I wonder how much airtime riders will be able to get off of those.

Agreed that drop looks almost as impressive as the plunge!
