Who gets the honor of pressing the botton to make Cyclone go on its last run?

I have nothing against Lynda or George, they were friends of mine, but I kinda think I ought to be the last one. I worked that ride longer than anbody, starting as a blacktag in August of '76, becoming Lead in '78, and staying there through August of '81. I always told people I'd rather be a blacktag on Cyclone than a Lead Foreman anywhere else. I still have dreams about the old girl. In fact, I had one just a couple of nights ago . . .

They will. That's how its worked for every ride I've ever been on for its last day of operation.

So who pressed the botton for the VERY last run?

Was it just ACE on the very last train or employees?

I was on the very last PUBLIC train, not staged, ACE or employees but general park guest train (in the very back seat thank you very much Very Happy !)
