What's what?
ValleyFair! - an amusement park located in Shakopee MN, owned by Cedar
Fair who also owns Cedar Point (hence the company name) Dorney Park and
I think Knotts.
Wild Thing - A pretty big non looping steelie, nice air time, nice first
drop.
Steelie - a roller coaster. tubular steel track. Top, bottom and inside
wheels Steelie refers to the track, not the superstructure (Gemini is a
wooden superstructure Steelie, although some people say it's just a
giant "mine train". but Mine Trains are steelies, IMHO) Contrast with
"woodie" which uses stacked wood planks with steel top and inside straps
for track. A woodie COULD be built with a steel superstructure but I
don't know of any.
The millenium - Dunno. Some Christian Era thing.
