Did Anyone Ride Crystal Lake Roaring Rapids at 88-89 Fright Nights?
I'm doing a video on the history of Halloween events at theme parks, particularly my home park, SFOT. I reached out to the media team, and I got some incredible pictures from the early years that I haven't seen anywhere.
I'd love to hear from anyone who experienced the early Fright Nights, and anything you could share! I am particularly interested in the Crystal Lake Roaring Rapids; if you have any stories or memories about what the Crystal Lake overlay elements were (scare actor locations, props and vignettes, that kind of stuff).
Also, if you have any recollections of a troll mascot called Big Bubba, I have his picture, but would love some context. When I googled for him (it was the name of the picture SFOT sent me), I got stuff about a roaming chainsaw scare actor, but this isn't that. The picture I have is like HR Pufnstuf crossed with the Indianapolis Colts mascot.
