Firecracker is a classic Calypso ride, one of only a handful still in operation in North America. We restored this vintage ride for the 2017 season with a patriotic theme. It’s located across from Liberty Launch in the park’s 4th of July section. Pop on over to our HoliBlog to read more about the restoration process.
