Finally, a nice Spring flying day after being grounded for almost 1-1/2 months. I shot over (20) photos of everything from the "Bone Yard" to the Sky Screamer to El Toro and Rolling Thunder...Check'em out HERE

I hope you enjoy !!

looks like Enterprise is very neatly put in one section, it would be awesome if it made a triumphant return into the park next season!

Only a couple of Enterprise cars remain. I think you are looking at parts of the Chaos ride (next to the building).

And as always, GREAT photos Phil!

The loss of the "Enterprise II" still grinds my gears. Other parks have the same model still in faithful service. Just a cost cutting move pure and simple. Even if Intamin wanted $100K for the parts, it's still worth every penny. Thankfully Mark Shapiro is gone.

Yeah I agree, I really doubt we would have had Tango reopened and removed rides returned and new rides (non coaster or kiddie rides) added if Shapiro was still around.

Great photos, it is always cool to see the park from the sky.
