Most of Apollo’s Chariot runs through the woods and down into a ravine, so the trains keep disappearing behind the treeline and popping back out over the crests. Original ThrillZing photo, taken July 12, 2001, restored and upscaled from the original camera file. Free to reuse under CC BY 4.0 with credit to ThrillZing and a link to this page.
