The turnaround sits at the edge of the park near the parking lot, which is why so many riders remember seeing it from the car before they ever got inside. 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.
