| The beginning of the Major Mud show showed the rocket that was built by the front entrance. This thing had to be close to 100 feet high, and could be seen from any of the high points in town like Breakheart. I don't think the ride ever opened, although I had been inside it. One winter a person was found inside it frozen to death. I think it was the following summer that it was dismantled and taken away somewhere. Pete Chapman | |||||||||
