Since SWF is gone why don't they use the overhead queue for it and change it to be used to get to the other side of GAR and use both tracks?
There are two tracks? I guess I've never really paid attention that there were. If there are two tracks, I suppose that would work out.
No, they wont use SWFs queue. GAR already has two queues, its kind of like a coaster where every waits and then the line splits off. They have never used the inside track because its been getting re-tracked for the last couple of years. Last year they were just about done but there were more places than just track that needed work. Itll probably be a while before the inside is up and running.
I don't think they've even used the second track since Splash went in. I really would like to see it back to its original Barney Oldfield Speedway-days layout (figure-8 with 3 lanes).
I sorta remember in the late 80's or even very early 90's when they used to use both tracks. Haven't seen that in a long time though. Pretty sure all the cars for the inside track were either parted out or are now used in the parade.

Was GAR ever called Railroad Raceway? Go to the link and then go down to the conty fair section and read the ride list.

They probably forgot the comma because if it were then Scenic Railway would've been mentioned again.
When I went to Six Flags for the first couple of years, the inside track was going and the line was really long becuase it was so popular. But now the line is short and they might tear it down soon because of gas, and I have been stuck on the track because our car stopped, probably because it ran out of gas.
In this photo from tech services 1- you can see 3 lane layout

Wow, I hope they bring back the ride to its original setup. I wasn't born yet so i didn't get to ride.
