Nobody likes to see a popular amusement park attraction closed, but among fans, the scale of the frustration is about on par with the scale of the attraction. The bigger the ride, the more people are upset. When Six Flags knocked down Kingda Ka, fans wept over the record-breaking coaster's end.
It’s unlikely anybody will bat much of an eye at the news that two “kiddie” rides are scheduled for demolition at Six Flags Magic Mountain in Southern California, a park better known for extreme roller coasters. However, there is reason to take note, as one of the rides has quite a history. It dates back decades and even connects to the origins of Disneyland.
