Actually, I'd say it's amazing how they EXPANDED everything in the
room they have down at USF...remember, USH is THE original!

Thanks for the clarification. I only rode the version in Florida once
and it was over 3 years ago. I honestly couldn't remember if the Florida
version had the falling "Jeep" or not. In any case, it's a great ride.

Hehe, nope! Well, it's actually the Jeepers that are like
that. I don't have a Jeep myself, but I know all too well
how loyal those CJ, TJ, and YJ owners are! (That is, the
ones that actually use them for what they were designed
for.)
