Toonerville Trolleys were a set of (at least) three trolley cars that circled the park in the early years. They opened in 1974. There were four boarding areas:
- The station at Main Street.
- A location behind what is now the Der Flinger
- At the top of the park (no longer accessible to guests; the park's wood shop is there).
- Where the entrance of the Tornado is today.
I do not know (yet) why the trolleys stopped running when they did, or even if 1979 is accurate. When the Tornado wooden roller coaster was opened, its entrance would have replaced the trolley stop. Since County Fair is listed as opening in 1979, perhaps that was the reason.
In 1985, new, smaller track would be placed with a shortened route and become the path for the A-Train.

Trivia
Track still visible
You can still see a bit of trolly track from the exit of the Tornado. As you go down the exit ramp, look to the right and you will see it in the concrete near the back of the game buildings.
