Look at my video, a rare look at the inside of Journey to the Center of the Earth mill chute boat dark ride that was razed off season 1992-1993. I bet Cedar Fair saw it as a fire hazard and had it removed immediately. The video clips were from a TV show. I rode that ride may times. I've been going to Dorney Park since I was 2 in 1976.
Bob Ott and his son Bob were chairman and president before 1985 which is when relative Harris Weinstein took over through 1992. Bob Ott passed away March, 2007. He was elevated to chairman of the board in 1980. He became president in 1967 when Robert Plarr and son Stephen passed away. He was married to Bob Plarr's daughter Sarah "Sally". There was also a Robert W. Plarr who worked with Ott and Weinstein, probably a son of one of the older Plarrs.
Why is Dorney Park slowly removing their older rides? They have been doing so since 1993, soon after Cedar Fair bought the park from Harris Weinstein. On Sept 28, 1983 a couple of older rides including a carousel, dark ride, were destroyed in a fire. Where the middle of the park is, Musik Express, Apollo, Enterprise were all added 1984 after the fire. There used to be a Flying Bobs where the Apollo is. I hope they keep the Whip, Zephyr and the coaster (Thunderhawk)!
I miss this ride. even tho i didn't like breathing in the gas but other than that i miss them. they to put in some REAL bumper cars.

I've worked one of these before at Belmont Park. Very loud when the ride is at full capacity.
