It's hard to believe the ptb still give a hoot when you look at what that once great ride has become.It was my second favorite ride, Fire In The Hole being first, and I'd rather see it go away than decline any further than it's present state. I loved the name of it, the entertainment, the tunnel, and the drop was enough of a thrill to keep me coming back. *sadness*

You are all probably right but they should just re do the American plunge and do a re opening. It fits with all the America stuff they are doing every summer and it was such a fun and easy thing to theme around. And it was ozark. I even love the signs. Plus the park needs a log flume wet ride and it still eats people up simply because of that. They are really dropping the ball here as I think a re done American plunge would be well received even by those who don't remember the old one. With today's technology and the need for that type of ride plus the moat and cave they already have....why the hell aren't they? I'd certainly take it over a new coaster.

Lets hope this is the 2020 project or another project sometime soon.
