It was located where Top Gun's helix is today. The Wild Bull was Bayern Curve ride that was built by Scwartskopf(is that right?).

Wild Bull (which was always one of my favorite rides) used to operate in the location that is currently Top Gun's helix. They removed it so that they could put in Top Gun. Personally, I wish they had relocated it to another area of the park since it would have been easy to do. I've heard that it is in a storage area at the park, but I have no clue if that is true or not.

The Wild Bull was also one of my favorites along with the Whirling Devilish. I wish it was still there, the County Fair is looking so borning theese days. While I was PKD two years ago I saw something that look like the remains of a Turtle ride or something smilar.

County Fair is a little dead lately. Kinda seems erie, because that area is always quiet since they got rid of the swings. All you can hear is the occasional roar of a train on Top Gun as it passes by and the clang of the chain dogs on Thunder Road's trains as they hit the lift hill.

Wild Bull was fun, but you can get the same, if not a better expierience on any Alpine Bobs or Himilaya/Music Express at you local carnival. Of course I still wish it was in the park. I Would have moved it to (Flashback to '99) Troubadour's Roost (Now CyberSez) in Blue Ridge Junction, where it could have kept the name Wild Bull and fit in perfectly, evan with the new Carolina Boardwalk theming.

Bayern Curves were certainly a trend in the park world. Popular with parks in the 80s, now are harder to find.

Perhaps someone should do some snooping and see if this ride is still on park grounds. :ph34r:

I doubt they would remove Subway, Vortex plaza needs something.
