Molly the Trolley was a trolley themed bus that carried guests between Adventureland, the Adventureland Inn and the Adventureland Campground. There were at least four Mollys over the year. Photos show a green and blue model that was in use at least through the late 2000s, then two different models that were used until they were decommissioned in 2022.
On busier days, a regular Adventureland Inn van also seems to be used.
There is a covered waiting area outside the main entrance to the park, and at the Inn, it parks outside the main entrance near Spectators Sports Bar and Grill.
I was told you need to have a hotel arm band to ride the trolley, but the drivers may pick you up if you are wanting to go over to Spectators for a bite to eat (or drink).
In 2026, we found out that Charters on Vine had purchased the older green trolley, and the two newer models are reportedly still at Adventureland. One has made appearances as a prop during Phantom Fall Fest, and the other is reportedly still sitting backstage.
Trivia
There have been three Molly's associated with the park. There was an early mascot Molly Mouse, Molly the Trolley, and current park spokesperson Molly Vincent (daughter of park founder Jack Krantz). Which came first? Molly (spokesperson, not the mouse or trolley) says she was here first ;-) Molly Mouse could not be reached for comments.
