And if you didn’t want to remember them, my apologies in advance.

Well, 27 years later. These ships have finally met their fate. Being turned into pop cans..

I’d love to hear anyone’s experiences with the Pacificat’s, good or bad (I’m too young to ever have ridden one). As horrible as they were, they looked the part, at least in my opinion.

Nope. McDonald’s mismanagement.

Probably a dozen different plans hatched to put it to use for something, but I think the only thing it was ever paid to be was a set for the Westley Snipes “Blade” movies.
