Has anybody else seen these photos from the early brochures? I asked the original ride maintenance guy (now retired) about that photo and it appears the rest of the train either had not arrived or had arrived late and had not been inspected so they had to do the photo shoot with the single lead car. Note: Amazing that they had 4 trains for this ride when it opened.
I always thought it would be neat to ride Goldrusher like that. Makes you wonder how different of a ride you might get.
Also, check out the front seat. THREE PEOPLE!!
