Shooting Star @ Lakeside Park Description: John Allen liked designing coasters the whole family enjoyed. Opened in 1968, the Shooting Star at Lakeside Park served as a smaller version of Allen's 1976 Screamin' Eagle, and helped Allen alter his design style to the mega coaster concept. RCT/LL & RCT2 benches included with major track updates. Last Updated: 25-Mar-2004
