It's a variation of that old ride at Riverview, "The Wild Mouse" which everyone just called The Mouse. I loved that ride. Did you go on this?

Michael....you bring back another memory, buried in the back of my mind! I had totally forgotten about Riverview!!! But I was born in a Chicago suburb..and certainly remember it. I did not ride on this ride...working a food booth at the fair...and taking a few photos when I'm done for the day...Riverview..Wild Mouse...hah..thanks for the memory.

Oh, yeah. Remember the old "Two Ton Baker" commercials "Laugh, Laugh, Laugh your troubles away at Mad, Merry Riverview!!!" And then Two Ton would be shown going straight down on the Bobs which was the great roller coaster ride. Although, I liked the Fireball because it was supposedly a bit faster. Remember the "Rotor" and the "Freak House"? I saw the Buffalo lady there one time. Also, got my first serious kiss in the Tunnel of Love when Jennie Hatch shoved her tongue halfway down my throat. Heh, heh.
