It's always mindblowing to think about how long the original ride was, and fit completely in the same building, and how comically short the new versions are in comparison. Do you know which parts of the track are leftovers? And where they were in the original? It would really be interesting to get plans for the new and old rides and compare them. So much I didn't know!
