The Old Mill at Kaleidoscope Piers!
Having recently celebrated its 125th anniversary, The Old Mill is one of the only two remaining rides on the piers from before the turn of the century (1900, that is, for you young folks)...the other being the Leap-the Whees side friction coaster. The Old Mill has undergone a few changes over the years, most significantly being its major upgrade in the 1990s during which the ride was closed for 8 months while the trough was completely refinished, the drop was fit with modern safety features, and all new boats were added. But...the ride maintains its classic "tunnel of love" vibe. I hope you enjoy the ride...and don't forget to steal a kiss (or two) with your sweetie in those dark, meandering tunnels. [wink]

The turn-around before the drop is on top of the old Pizza Pen restaurant building:
It gives nice views of the pier at night:
