RIDE EXPERIENCE

This ride has become a classic, also known by names like Matterhorn, Caterpillar, etc. However, you only move in one direction, not frontwards & then backwards like other similar rides. It used to though. According to Sid it "used to travel backwards over a decade ago. Lagoon put a stop to this due to the extra maintenance and strain on the motors and brakes."

If you've never been on a ride like this before, you should know that the person who sits on the outside will get smashed against the side for most of the ride.

RIDE HISTORY & INFO

Before the Musik Express, there was another ride much like this on the North Midway called the Zugspitz. If you have ANY info or photos of the Zugspitz please email me.
