History
Skull Mountain was opened in 1996 and is one of three roller coasters at the park with a 44-inch (1,100 mm) height requirement. Since 2012, this height requirement requires a child to be accompanied by an adult. To ride alone, you must be 48-inch (1,200 mm). The top height of the ride is 41.5 feet (12.6 m).
A similar ride of the same name, Skull Mountain at Six Flags America closed in July 2011 to make room for Apocalypse.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“There has never been in history another such culture as the Western civilization M a culture which has practiced the belief that the physical and social environment of man is subject to rational manipulation and that history is subject to the will and action of man; whereas central to the traditional cultures of the rivals of Western civilization, those of Africa and Asia, is a belief that it is environment that dominates man.”
—Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
“The history of all previous societies has been the history of class struggles.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
“The history of reform is always identical; it is the comparison of the idea with the fact. Our modes of living are not agreeable to our imagination. We suspect they are unworthy. We arraign our daily employments.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
