Six Flags to tear down Kentucky Superman ride... and other weekend notes
November 30, 2007, 2:47 PM ·
Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom has a judge's okay to tear down the Superman Tower of Power ride upon which a girl lost her feet last summer.
Six Flags Magic Mountain is offering free admission with a toy donation for Toys for Tots. Offer's good on Dec. 2 , 8 and 9 and you must bring a new, unwrapped toy worth at least $15. (We told you about a similar deal at Knott's earlier this week.)
The Universal theme park in South Korea, reported here last spring, is a go. (Thanks to reader David Graham for the tip.)
Update: Somewhat off-topic, but still... Evel Knievel died. If you were a boy in the 1970s (like me), Evel was a big, big, big deal. I remember my Evel Knievel action figure and begging, *begging* my parents to take me to Kings Island on my eighth birthday to watch Evel jump. (They didn't.) FWIW, there will be an Evel Knievel-themed roller coaster at Six Flags St. Louis this spring.
Robert, being a girl in the 1970's, I still thought Evel Knievel was a big deal. I watched him on TV every time he was on. I wanted the Evel Knievel lunchbox, but always ended up with Holly Hobby or some other lame "girly" one.
