Sadly I didn't get to ride Greased Lightnin' while I was there. Anton Schwarzkopf was the best designer of all time, IMHO, and his creations need to be preserved forever. I was glad I got to ride Viper, but saddened that Thriller (Texas Tornado) was removed. Oh well, at least I still have my Whizzer here at Great America
