In The Spotlight:
Schwabinchen
AKA: Swabinchin, Ups & Downs, & El Sombrero

The Schwabinchen ride was added to the park in 1975 as part of the Fun Fair section.   This great family friendly flat ride featured colorful lights and motions in a gentle yet fun ride for all ages.

 

The ride was removed from the park after 1986 and was gone for six seasons, but then returned in 1993 with a new look and a new name as El Sombrero until it was retired at the end of the 2001 season.
