Check about Reservations before you go. We didn't get to ride it because of no room. but as i said it was a long time ago.

It's probably way bigger than it was 20 odd years ago. we were also in Granby (South of Grand Lake) for 2-3 months. Building a double circuit to the Winter Park ski resort. Lived in an old camper...

Sorry I get a little stirred up sometimes.. and get long winded.
