My first memory was playing at Tom Sawyer's Treehouse around 1979 or so, but my most intense memory is being scared out of my bloody mind at the Flooded Mine Ride when the lights went out and the saw started coming toward your car. Holy moly, I was so sure I was going to be cut in half. I still cringe whenever I float by that scene. As a pre-teen and teenager, we got seasons passes every summer, and would drive from Springfield about twice a week to SDC. I love to yell at my daughter, "Isabel Corley, you come back in here and put on your pants!" She's still learning the proper reply.

Last time I rode the plunge, I was so sad to see that the outhouse and the guy yelling "Ohhhhhh nooooo" was either gone or not working. I also remember when they added the plunge theme, I loved its cheesiness as a teenager.
