Added a video clip of the Wild Bull I took in 1993:

(need QT player)

Also, not sure if this is the original Goldrusher sign or not but it is from 1993 as well. Anyone know if there were a sign before this?

I don't remember if that is the sign before the Boardwalk one or not. I do remember that sign(pictured) however. I have always disliked the Boardwalk Goldrusher sign for two reasons:
1)It only says "Goldrusher" not "Carolina Goldrusher"
2)Goldrusher's trains are steam locos, the boardwalk sign has a diesel on it.
Pretty much, the sign breaks the whole theme of the ride. Going from the boardwalk to Goldie's station is like walking from one area of the park to another.

There's a picture of the Goldrusher entrance in the souvenir book I have from '76 and that's the same sign it had back at that point. If the ride opened with a different one it didn't last too long.

In the one im thinking of which is the one after this one but before the current one, the word "Goldrusher" is alot bigger. Its gold and behind the letters there is a blue-trimmed shadow. Surprised no-one remembers it.
