I am reproducing this page with the permission of sfot.net and Alan Reynolds. Alan originally activated this to collect comments from fans of The Spee-Lunker Cave and sent the first 150 comments to Steve Calloway, General Manager of Six Flags Over Texas, as a petition to return The Cave back to the park for it's 40^th anniversary. As many of you know, The Cave was removed in 1991. This petition was started in 1998 and as you can see below, fans of this weird and wonderful darkride still have strong feelings against it's removal. Calloway was touched by the comments but made no promises for the ride's return. As expected, Six Flags had no interest in resurrecting The Cave.

This petition was active until September 2002 when I guess, allocated space was used up and no more comments could be posted. Eventually, the hosting service had a "melt-down", causing this page to disappear. I had saved the most current page and Alan is in the process of re-building his original "SFOT Former Employees' Contact Page". This most recent page grew to more than 400 comments. I have decided to resurrect this page for all to view, though it is no longer active for new postings here. The comments range from profound to touching to funny. They are serious, cynical and humorous. So, here is the original petition for your viewing:

Petition for the return of the Spee-Lunkers to Six Flags over Texas

Does it concern you that the Spee-Lunkers are out of a job? Is it right that they have been taken from their home and replaced by some Warner Brothers characters whom have no clue about caves or Speelunking in general? Do you miss the cheap black light and strobe effects of that cave? How about the great erie sounds and music? We are here to help get the Spee-Lunkers back to Six Flags over Texas and need your help too.

The Spee-Lunkers would love it if you signed their petition.

The petition was sent with over 150 comments. I've talked to Steve Calloway, the General Manager of the park. He has read our petition and was very impressed by a number of the comments, and the feelings expressed. For the 40th anniversary of the park (2001) they would like to do some retro things to the park. He was very unclear whether the cave or similar rides would be brought back to life though.

Stay tuned.

This was my absolute favorite ride for a long time. Ever since Six Flags got rid of that attraction, that park has not been the same since, so I have not been back as many times. PLEASE bring back this classic!!!! (The riverboat ride, treehouse, and volcano would be nice to have back to.)

Our family vacations growing up was going to Six Flags and one of our fondest memories is The Cave. My mom and sister did not like the scarey rides and so this is one of the main rides that all of us could enjoy along with the "La Salle's River Boat Ride". We just went to Six Flags and were talking about this. They have taken these rides out so there is not many reasons for anyone to go unless they like scary rides. We do miss this and wish it would return. Good job at recreating this! It brings back good memories growing up.

Back in 95, the Tech band went to SFOT while playing in Dallas. A bunch of us, about 13 or so, were excited about seeing THE CAVE. We were pissed when we saw what our wonderful park had done to our beloved speelunkers. We stood in line to see if it was remotely similiar to the speelunkers. LAME!!! Everywhere you look at SFOT you see bugs bunny. They should rename the park what it has become - Looney Land. Why the changes? Speelunkers was my dads favorite ride and the first ride i remember. TIME FOR AN UPRISING AND A REVOLUTION!!! VIVA LOS SPEELUNKERS!!!

My first trip to SFOT was in 1969. I was five years old, the youngest of three brothers. My father could not afford to spend much on a vacation but he took us to sixflags, every year. Now, I have four children of my own, I have tried to fill my fathers foot steps by taking my children every year. But it is not the same, and I feel that my children are missing something special. The Spee-Lunkers Cave. Please bring it back. My father past away in 1989, and now everytime I see where the old Spee-Lunker Cave was I think of him and how much, he did for me and my brothers. You have taken away the history of SFOT, please bring back atleast some of it.

Hey, I need some help from you Six Flags employees (or Cave fans) from the 1960’s. I have documented the 1960’s version of The Cave including producing an audio ride-through soundtrack. There is a little bit of confusion. A more recent map of The Cave shows the jail (brig) scene just after you enter the hull of the wrecked ship, then the rocking timbers. I can almost distinctly remember after you went into the hull it was the rocking timbers, then the jail scene, then a turn to the left and the “rotating barrel”. Let’s hear your recollection!

this was the coolest ride in the park!! i love roller coasters, but if six flags would bring back classics like it and la salles adventure i would ouickly make the 1500 mile trip from california to relive my childhood. i remember when six flags was a fantasyland!!! the animatronic characters were so fun to watch. there is no style or fantasy in the park now, just thrill rides and looney tunes characters. the postcards in the giftshops feature bugs and daffy. they should have images of the speelunkers, log flume lumberjack, and that guy francois who sat in the tree and guided you on the river adventure. bring back the cave!!!! bring back the real six flags!!

The cave was one of the most unique attractions around. Unlike the milktoasty, pablum, corporate characters of today, the Spee-lunkers left an indelible memory to millions of park visitors for the thirty-some odd years it was in operation. This ride helped set SFOT apart from all other theme parks. I am confident if SFOT's parent company replaced the Warner Bros. cartoon characters ride to the original "T he Cav e", People would flock from everywhere to both relive the fun and introduce it to millions more. Please, Please bring back "T he Cav e"!

I was 6 or 7 the first time I went to SFOT in the late 60's or early 70's. I have these indelible images in my mind of Skull Island and the wonderful tree slides. I remember the Flume with the evil villian and the lumberjack. I loved LaSalles. The spiel was cheesy but always funny, and besides the ride fueled our imaginations and gave us a sense of adventure. There is not a roller-coaster or a river rapids ride ever built that can do that. "The Cave" was such a wonderful ride. My local cable provider gives us the Cartoon Network and with 3 small children I get to share the Looney-toons characters of my youth. Please let me share the Speelunkers with them. While your at it, how about the rest of the attractions that made SFOT unique.

I have just returned from a secret (oops !) meeting of The Grand Speelunker Council. AFter hearing from The Nutria Nation that their plans are near fruition, we asked Mistress Cleo Speelunker to consult with Mr. Wynne's Spirit. After charging us 2.95 a minute (we got the first minute free), Mistress Cleo informed us that indeed she had spoken with Mr. Wynne, and he had this to say..... "I am ashamed and embarassed at what has happened to my creation. The incredible hubris of AOL Time Warner and the pillaging of Six Flags Over TEXAS's traditions are a disgrace. Had I known the Speelunkers would be packed up and shipped off to Longhorn Caverns, I would never have sold to those evil cretins. Please do all you can to restore the dream. Go find Cyrus Cosmo....he is the one to lead The Revolution. p.s. No one ever died on Lasalle's Riverboat !" Well, after that we were resolved to The Revolution. But first, we need to know who's with us. Sign up and let us know if we can count on you. We'll be watching ! (and hopefully, so will Wall Street) Run over a Possum today !

And the world will be a much better place if we never have to hear "Coal Miner's Daughter" or "Two Doors Down" again ! That damn Dolly Speelunker and her fake boobies !

Most of you don't realize it yet, but The Spelunkers will return. We have been working with them covertly to plan the takeover. We have loaded Yosimite Sam's gun with blanks. We have added Xanax to that fleabag Bugs' carrot. We have been feeding Mr. Gonzales burritos from Casa Banderas, so he'll be making a "Speedy" trip to El Bano shortly. All is almost ready, we only have to dispose of the traitorous Possums, who have sold out to AOL Time Warner in the vain hope of getting a possum cartoon character. We the Nutria Nation would like to thank our exiled friends from Seven Seas/Hawaii Kai and former Texas Rangers Billy Sample and Johnny Grubb for their help in restoring Arlington to its former grand self.

I returned to Six Flags after 20 years last December. While growing up with them during the 60s and 70s, the Spee-Lunkers have become a unique symbol of Six Flags. After being terrified the first time I visited their cave, I learned to really love the little guys. It seems that six flags sold its soul to trade marks and mass marketing when they fumigated them from their cave. I know there are many who hoped someday to share the Spee-Lunkers with their families. All the parks on the east coast Bush Gardens, Kings dominion, and Carrowinds all have Bugs, and I'm darned sick of him. If Six Flags really wants to seperate itself from the rest, and resume its own unique identity it once had, not to mention satisfy a cult following, they will bring back the Spee- Lunkers. Long live the Cave!!

The cave was such a great place to get out of the sun. I was in FS from 77-81 and we would walk from chicken to mariner's and it seems like you could look in a door and see the cave boats as they went by. Cave pink thing cart was also a fun place to work cause it was cool and dark at night!

As a kid, I always loved this ride. I think this was one of the best themed rides ever. The whole concept was great and the spelunkers were so cute and on a hot summer day the coolness of the ride was such a relief. I am a former employee, and I believe I had worked at Six Flags one year when they changed the concept of the ride from the spelunkers to the looney tunes theme. The ride was still a good one, I guess, but it was not one-tenth as good as the spelunkers. It really bothered me to see them change it. Please bring Six Flags back to what it used to be; the most magically themed park in the world captivating the great history of Texas. BRING BACK THE SPELUNKERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Spee-Lunkers Cave was one of the best rides, not only could it be cozy for couples, but it was one of the places that was cool during the summer time. I just loved those little spee-lunkers guys in the cave. They were so cute and should be brought back to life again. Who cares about the Looney Toons guys...hum maybe there should be a cartoon about the Spee-Lunkers. Someone send that to Warner Brothers...they should do that then Six Flags would have their own cartoon and charatures, that could be brought to life like daffy and Bugs have been. I know I would like walking around as a Spee-Lunker in the park!!!

I remember being horrified of the Spee-Lunkers the first time I rode that ride in the 60's. I also remember the night my aunt and a bunch of her friends overloaded and then sunk one of the boats on the ride around that same time. As I grew up, I remember enjoying the ride on those hot summer days. I have to admit that I haven't been to SFOT in over 20 years, but from what I've read on this website, I don't know if I'd want to go because I would miss seeing "old friends", The Spee-Lunkers.

Well, it does not look like Six Flags is going to bring back the Speelunker's Cave. And when I think about the other wonderful old Six Flags with it's creative theming, sense of adventure and the magic atmosphere, the refreshing escape from the daily pressures of life, it makes me think; What if an investor with vision came along and opened another REAL theme park in the Six Flags market, forever closing the oportunity for Six Flags to do so? Anyone out there see the opportunity? Imagine; a big adventure park that stimulates the imagination and satisfies our need to pretend, for a day, that we are in many other far away or imaginary places.

I grew up with Six Flags and worked there as a caricature artist from '77-81. Then moved out of state. I came back to Six Flags and was horrified to learn that the Speelunkers were removed! I am glad that Six Flags was so successful, but why did we have to lose some of the most charming aspects of it in the process of becoming a corporation? No LaSalle's, no Skull Island... and the most heartbreaking loss of all...the Speelumkers.

As I get older, it seems that human nature wants to hold onto things from the past. People are born every day with new ideas to change the world. Angus had an idea and he changed a small part of the world. The speelunker cave was a one of a kind. I'm 42 years old and have been to sfot almost every year. The cave was a "memory cave" for me. Memories of my first time to ride, being scared of the elves. My first 'date' at six flags in jr high. Trying to get up the courage to go on the cave ride to 'make out'. But the worst memory is arriving at the entrance to the cave and seeing Bugs and Daffy and having to listen to that Taz sound loop over and over! All gone .The memories are all gone. give me my memories back. thank you

I have to say, I agree that The Cave should be restored. Looney Tunes characters are way overcommericalized and all over the park as it is! Like most people, The Cave is one of the few solid memories I have from my early visits to the park in the 1970's. I remember all of us kids begging my parents to go there first, despite the protests of my little brother, who was absolutely terrified of the Spees ;-)

Please bring back the Cave ride. My best memories of Six Flags is from that awesome ride. Six Flags desperately needs a ride like that. I just got back from the 40th year celebration and I had a sad feeling because the Cave ride was missing. The people who go to Six Flags for the first time today have no idea what they're missing. The Cave gave this park an identity - something you couldn't find any where else. What will it take to get the top suits from corporate to realize this will bring more people back to the park - the people want this - please bring back the Cave. Yes, Titan is cool, but the Cave will stay in your mind forever. Let's bring back the magic. Thank you.

Bring back The Cave! The magical and entertaining ride you once had makes the current cartoon one pale in comparison. The Cave was an escape from the summer Texas heat... a cool, fun, magical, and entertaining ride that appealed to a kid's imagination. I certainly hope that you will rebuild it so that I may enjoy the real "Cave" again once again with my children!

I remember “The Cave” from the late 1960’s before they butchered it up. Someone wanted to know what the music was. I remember each piece of music and know what some of it was. The mysterious theme as you enter was the first few seconds of Debussy’s “Gigues”, then the pipe organ was a recording of a steam calliope. The scene of a spee-lunker holding crustaceans by chains was accompanied by a piece called “Taboo”. I don’t know the name of the music the harp quartet played, but you can hear it in the Imax film, “To The Limit”. Then the twisting dancers had a daffy arrangement of “Yackety Sax” or something similar. Then after the “hump” and before the storm, a staccato violin arrangement of “Firebird Introduction”. I remember one more little tune in the wrecked ship being played on a concertina (squeeze-box), but I can’t quite remember the name of it. All the sounds and music mixing together throughout the ride had a mesmerizing effect that is hard to describe. If this ride were to be restored to it’s original plan, there would be no tapes. The sound would be running off flash memory cards in the mp3 format.

I can still remember the Spee's even though I was young. That ride was one of the best rides to ever come across Six Flags Over Texas. It was original, had cool effects and and was a key characteristic to the park. I can remember riding the Yosemite Sam ride the year it was put in and asking my parents where the Spee-Lunkers went. My favorite part was the spinning tube effect and the swinging boulder, even though it was not big on heavy technical effects, the ride to me blew It's a Small World out of the water (Spee's was on the fun side not the annoying). Please, please bring back the best,and original Spee's for generations to come to enjoy, besides Yosimite's popularity has fallen, so might as well put a classic in its place to rejuvinate that area.

Man! did yall bring back some memories or what! I had spent so many hours in that cave that I can still hear the music that used to play inside. does anyone else remember sitting on that little deck between the end of the lift and at the end of that spinning barrel? I sure recall the squeals of delight as the tub leveled off at the top of the lift,it seems like that startled just about everyone. Many a preteen got his or her first kiss riding in the cool recesses of spelunkers cave. We used to make our little brothers or sisters set in front so they could not watch us behind them. Nowhere else on a hot summer day could one relax,enjoy the dark, and recouperate from the 110 degree heat like that cave. Please bring it back as it was I've been thru the loony-tunes version and it just ain't tha same! Where's the boulder, where's the black lights, and what happened to those beloved Spelunkers?

I was very disappointed when they changed the cave to Looney Tunes. The cave was the ultimate cool ride. I and my friends had season passes every year and the goal was to meet a good looking girl in the park and coax them into the cave. Good things almost always happened next. It's really a shame now cause it's way too bright in there. Thankfully, I grew up in the eighties when things were right in the world. Bring back the original cave...and maybe I'll convince my wife take a ride with me....

One of the most wonderful things about Six Flags over Texas was it's lack of media hype. The Speelunker's cave was an an original. No Batman, Superman, Pokemon, Gumby, or Wonder Woman. What ever happened to originality, anyway? The Spelunker Cave has always been one of my favorite rides at SFoT. In fact, I haven't bothered to come back since it disappeared. I can find rides just like the other rides in your park anywhere across America, so why bother? I hate this homogenation of the themeparks. Each one is just like the other. Cartoon characters, rides based on movies and superheros, etc. Come on! Be different. You're in Texas. We're supposed to be different. Bring back the Speelunkers, Casa Magnetica, the tree slides, and Skull Island with the caves and rafts and slides! So what if a few people get their knuckles scrapted on the slides? (I did.) Change the names and themes of the rides to somthing besides comic book and cartoon heros. Do something original. Original themes, original names. "Titan" is a start, by the way, unless they come out with a WB movie about the Titans. I love thrill rides and rollercoasters, by the way, but rides like "LaSalle's Riverboat" fired the imagination as well as the senses. Let the guests work a bit on the Caddo Canoes, and get dusty on the stagecoach. Stop being so PC! Thanks for listening. John K. Bowman jkbowman@satx.rr.com

Bring back "The Cave Ride"! It was one of my favorite rides while growing up along with the La Salle's River Boat Ride. It's ashame that with every ride that is destroyed it is replaced with a rollercoaster. Don't get me wrong, I like rollercoasters but not just them alone. Me and my wife haven't been to Six Flags in 2 years specifically because she doesn't like Rollercoasters and all of the rides she has liked have slowly been being demolitioned. Being back the Six Flags everyone has grown to know and love!

Bugs Bunny is just a myth, but we are real. Be afraid Six Flags, be very afraid. We come to destroy and conquer. You will soon learn who the real TITANs are. It is us, your best little friends and now your worst nightmare. And to you, my human friends, Rejoice! This is a time of celebration, a time of victory. A new era has dawned. Will you be there for us? When the dust clears and the wounds heal, we will be in our glorious home, and you will be able to enjoy our friendship once again.

Duncanville, TX USA - Friday, February 02, 2001 at 17:48:20 (CST)

The Warner Brothers' characters and the emphasis on thrill rides have ruined what was once such a unique and somewhat magical place. Today it is just roller coasters, Bugs Bunny, and Batman. Restoring at least some of the old THEME park would greatly enhance the Six Flags experience for all guests. Although the optimum ride to bring back is La Salle's River Adventure, the cave is a great place to start.

I hate it, we haven't been in 8 years and don't plan on going back. The roller coaster gave 9 out of 10 of us a migraine! Thanks.

I haven't been to Six Flags in years, but I heard that several of the classic rides are gone...in particular LaSalle's River Boat Ride and Spelunker's Cave...Disneyland could never close Pirates of the Carribean or the Haunted Mansion or the Jungle Cruise --even if they are dated...I don't know why Six Flags would remove their classics...I'm sure parents want to take their kids on rides they enjoyed as a kid... I know if I had children I would want to take them on the Cave ride...I'm sure my Dad would plan a family trip with all of his grown kids and grandchildren if The Cave Ride were still there...and the River Boat Ride...and Skull Island...and the Sid And Marty Kroft Theatre and Big Bend...and the Fiesta Train...and so on and so on...

After Six Flags kicked us out, we've been on our own for 8 years now. Most of us have scattered into the woods, never seeing each other again. Some of us are hiding in the mountains. Some of us are stil speelunking far beneath the surface. We really miss you humans and the friendship you gave to us. We had a home at Six Flags. Sometimes we don't understand why things happen the way they do but we can only hope that Six Flags will welcome us again into the Cave and let us play and sing for you once more. See ya!!!! Love you all :=)

Please return the poor little Spee-Lunkers to there home or maby we could start a home for wayward Spee-Lunkers. Those little guys represented allot to those of us who worked at SFOT and we feel that a part of our history has been stolen from us. The cave was never my ride but I worked there several times pulling doubles trying to make extra money to buy my first car. Even before I was a SFOT emp. I was a seasons passer and remember making out with many a girl in the cave. I loved the Black lights and the stobe effects and the music. removing the Spee-Lunkers was a Great mistake and a very obvious sell out to corperate Bullies. What has become of the little guys that used to live in the cave? and are those two still tossing the boulder back and forth? PLEASE BRING THEM BACK.

Taking away the Speelunker cave ride was a big mistake. That was the coolest ride ever!! The Looney Tunes ride is boring and no one likes it. Six Flags needs a mysterious, funny, and dark side ride. The old cave ride was perfect for all ages. Six Flags lacks imagination now. The WB Looney Tunes over kill is killing the park - I will never go back again. I miss the speelunkers, Skull island and going through the volcana. What was Six Flags thinking when they took out the best rides? It's insanity!! Please bring back the Speelunker cave. It's sad that the management lacks creativity and the insight of what the customers really want. Does Six Flags really listen - we'll soon find out. Bringing back the Speelunker cave ride is the smart thing to do. The magic of Six Flags is gone - let's bring it back. Come on Six Flags...let's wake up.

Please bring back the Speelunker cave ride. This is what made Six Flags over Texas unique. Kids of all ages loved it. In my opinion, the Looney Tunes cave ride is a big flop. Everyone I know feels the same way. It's time to bring back some of the old speelunker magic and put smiles back on a lot of faces. I know thousands of people agree with me. David Herrick

This ride used to be one of my favorite rides in the whole park, along with the Roto Disco and the spindletop, and all the good rides have been removed now.. Please bring back the spelunkers...that's what the cave was all about, andnow it's turned into a dull little ride, it used to be interesting and fun, now it's nothing like it used to be. Please do something about that.

The cave was the coolest. 6 flags has destroyed all of the really cool rides. Stupid Looney Tunes characters, what the hell is that all about. The cave, and roto disco, and crazy legs were the absolute best. And what is w/ the removal of the standing parachutes. And the spindeltop, magic mountain still has theirs!!!! 6 flags is not as good as it used to be!!!

I was a visitor every year to Six-Flags Over Texas. I use to be the returning visitor you counted on to spend money in the park. Back in 1978-1982, I had a yearly pass for every year. But as the rides that I grew up on (Spinnaker, The Cave, The Spindletop, The Big Bend and others) started to disappear,I found myself going back to SFOT less and none during the years 1985-1998. My family and I are trying to go once a year now. SFOT is too commercialized now. It is understandable nowdays tho. The WB cartoon cave ride still uses the same water path as the "Spee-Lunkers Cave Ride", bring it back for your 40th Anniversary Celebration. I can't even remember the name of the rides they are called now..for the old ones still in the park,I still them by their orginal name. I would like to show my family of 4($$$ to spend in the park) a small glimpse of what SFOT use to be like. I love the new roller coasters, but you can still restore the old Spee-Lunkers cave. Half of the ride is still there!! Also, would be nice for season (2001) for pictures and markers for rides that gone. Please improve the footpaths around the park. Very hard to get around the park now.

The WB characters cave is cute but I have always associated Six Flags with an air of mystery and originality. No other ride offered such an element any more than the the old Speelunker Cave. Everyone used to get off excited - even after riding over and over! Few rides are of that same caliber these days anywhere. My family and I have quit going to Six Flags because it just isn't what it was. Bring back some of the great oldies. By the way, I think I will build my own cave next year for fun (seriously)!

The removal of the "Spee-Lunkers" was definitely a wrong move. I have very distinct memories of The Cave - memories that will last a lifetime. Unfortunately, all I can do is tell people how "Cool" it was and I can't show them first hand. While we're on the subject of restoration, I think Roto Disco (The ultimate cool off ride) and Casa Magneta also need to be considered for a return.

PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE! Bring back the Spelunkers! Don't you see how the removal of these 'special' creatures have disrupted peoples lives?! I was VERY disappointed when the park started changing from the original design to Loony-Toons. It was my curiosity and imagination that was racing when going through the ORIGINAL SFOT that was and IS the back bone of my memories and the main reason why I went to the park. I do enjoy riding some of the new rides, but it seems like a silly race to have the tallest and fastest ride around. BRING BACK THE ORIGINAL RIDES THAT PEOPLE LOVE AND CHERISH SO MUCH! Casa Magnetica, LaSalle's, Rotoriculous, Skull Island, Crazy Legs, Volcano Ride (the parke does have room to expand so why not have a section for some of the rides that couldn't fit in their original places.) Just think (and all it takes is a few brain cells to truly know what I'm talking about) of the business that would come to THE ORIGINAL SIX FLAGS OVER TEXAS (with a few new rides, of course). I'm now getting down off the soap box for someone else to get up and say what's on their mind.

There is no orginality or creative thinking in the Warner Brothers cave. This does not fuel the imagination as the Spee-Lunkers did. I've been going to SFOT for 22 years and it just isn't fun anymore! I want my kids to be as thrilled as I was. Bring back the Texas theme and let the imagination flow. We can see Looney Toons for free on TV.

Six Flags has become less and less family friendly. We don't go anymore. It's more for daredevil teens.

I haven't been to Six Flags in many years now, but I located this website because my children are old enough to start enjoying such a wonderfull theme park as Six Flags.The spelunkers cave was not only an entertaining ride,but it was the "Tunnell of Love"(so to speak)for many of us former employees as well as for millions of park visitors. The spelunkers cave is as much a part of the history of Six Flags over Texas as The Alamo is to the State of Texas. To replace the spelunkers would be like tearing down the Alamo and building a brick home in it's place. I believe mosy of your ex-operations foremen (Margie Robinson, Bobby Grubbs, Jacques Demott, John Bement,and all the others) would agree with me that it should be restored to it's spelunker theme.

I adored the Cave and the Spee-Lunkers (always thought it was spelunkers, though...) and was heartbroken when it was replaced with the loud, annoying Warner Bros. thing that is there now! I never plan to ride that again, but would ride The Cave over & over. I have so many fond memories of it, from early childhood to early adulthood! (And I never even managed to get kissed on it. ;-) ) My favorite part was the lightning--so eerie, though of course I also loved the barrel, the cool blast of air at the end, and those adorable spee-lunkers. If there's any chance of bringing them back, please do!!! Meanwhile, I'm very curious to know where people have managed to find the originals--I always wondered what happened to them!

Does anyone remember the Temple located inside the Spelunker's Cave? It had a hidden door which was accessed by a secret knock. When I was initiated into the Exalted Order of the Spelunker, I was stripped naked and forced to bow before an altar with a golden pyramid with an eye peering out from it. I was given a tattoo of the Cabalistic Tree of Life on my back and then forced to ride a goat down a dark hallway. There was a room at the end of this hall in which sat a dwarf with a conical hat. He was smoking a bomb-shaped cigar and feeding pretzels to a monkey. "Welcome to the New World Order!" he shouted dwarfishly. I was treated very well by the New World Order. But one day they poured cement into the secret doorway and moved away without notifying me. As a final insult, all of the Spelunkers were ritually burned by a rival group, the Justified Ancients of Mu. They then filled the "ride" with Warner Brothers cartoon characters: Stiffy the Erotic Rat, Yosemite the Hun, Boogers the Skunk and Rickshaw the Shaolin Fighting Termite Queen. When I tried to find my way back to the place I'd known before, I was knocked out by some weird gas and I woke up bound tightly to a metal chair connected to several electrical wires. They tortured me and even cut out part of my brain. Dear God I hate Six Flags and all that it now stands for! It hasn't been the same since the Ishmaeli Order of Assassins took over the park. Please bring the spelunkers back.

I always loved the spelunkers best. I remember one trip when I was about 7, they got our whole family in one boat - Mom, six kids, then Dad. As we were going through the cave, Dad said,"I feel something wet back here." Turned out that with so many people in the boat Dad's large frame at the back actually sunk the end of the boat - and Dad's end! - in the water! Still one of my favorite memories of visiting....

I've worked several double shifts with the Spee-Lunkers during my time as a ride operator there in 1977 and 1978, and have many fond memories of this ride. This ride holds a unique place in amusement park history, and deserves to be restored to its former state. I admit it is important to add new rides and update older ones, but it needs to be done in such a way that it compliments the attractions that made the park as unique and special as it is. Several parks in the country in recent years have had great success in restoring unique pieces from their past, such as Kennywood Park and their Lost Kennywood section. There are several rides from Six Flags past which I would love to see restored so I could share them with my family. They could be a great asset to the park. Please restore our poor, orphaned Spee-Lunkers to their former home, not only to bring back some great memories to your former employees, but as a gesture to the people and the community who have supported and enjoyed your park for so many years. Thank You.

SPEE-LUNK-ERS! SPEE-LUNK-ERS! SPEE-LUNK-ERS! SPEE-LUNK-ERS! SPEE-LUNK-ERS!....

The Spee-Lunkers were an integral part of Six Flags. I was very disapointed in 1992 to find Yosemite Sam's Gold River Adventure in place of the Cave..... Of all the rides, the original Cave seems to be a favorite among guests and employees alike. I worked inside the Gold River cave a few times and hearing Tweety and Sylvester repeat the same thing for two hours at a time just about drove me crazy. I've been told that the original Spee-Lunkers were made with alot of asbestos so the originals couldn't be reused... but surely Six Flags can build new ones.

Black Tag - Cave '85 Ass. Forman - Cave '85 Forman - Cave '87 Supervisor - Blue Side (Cave) '90 So I'm Practically a spelunker. Have some respect for park history, bring those guys back. (and La'Salles while your at it!)

Please, Please bring back the Spee-lunkers. Even before I became an employee, the cave was one of my favorite places to go on each visit. I loved the anticipation of finding out what those little (elves?) were up too around the next corner. My favorites were the pirates I think. Even after I grew up, it was still one of my favorite rides. I was looking forward to being able to introduce my son to them when we visited. It is sad to see how much the park has changed from the time I was a child (1965 - 1970)to what it is today. Even as an employee there were still vestiges of the old park around (GT Cars, Chapparell(sp) Cars, Mexican Hat.. etc.) but they are fast disappearing and nothing but metal roller coasters and thrill rides remain (don't misunderstand me, these have their place). Six Flags seems to have lost the special personality I remember so well. Bringing back the speelunkers would help bring some of that back.

I went to Six Flags last year with my family for the first time in ages. I had been telling my kids all about the Speelunkers Cave and how neat it was. We were SO disappointed when we found it had been replaced. Six Flags just isn't the same without the Cave. Please, please, bring back the Speelunkers!

I remember going to six flags during the mid 70s with all of my relatives and going on the cave ride, they put all 9 of us kids in one boat, needless to say when we got to the lift hill we got stuck and the lights came on.i beilieve my sister and my 2 cousins had to bail out and walk the rest of the way.

My two fondest memories of Six Flags are of the Big Bend roller coaster and the Spelunker's Cave. Don't get me wrong, I like roller coasters a lot. However, ever since the Spelunker's absence, the park seems a little lacking somehow. I really miss the magic, enchanting, dark, blacklighted, lightly spookey and campy theme of this long gone attraction. Please bring back this ride the way we remember it, tidy bowl blue water and all!!!

Please return the Speelunkers! They were a favorite, always had to wait in line. Our children deserve to experience what we loved. Now all Six Flags parks look alike. We miss our unique Six Flags. Thrill rides give you a few seconds of blurr. The Cave, LaSalle's Riverboat and Canoes (guest participation!) made you laugh, think and daydream. You took these memories home with you and couldn't wait to come do it again! My kids no longer care for Six Flags - it's just not that special anymore.

The cave ride (Spelunkers' included) were to Six Flags what the "It's a Small World' ride is to Disney. The commercial addition of Warner Bro's is distracting from the park. We all miss the good ole days. At least we still have Matt Kurtz, the only living Spelunker!

The Spee-lunker is a girl with blondish white hair that is put up, she is dressed like Scarlett O'hara in a light blue lacy dress with a lacy white umbrella and a southern belle hat. If anyone took pictures in the cave and has this, please let us know. Thanks in advance.

I recently purchased an original Spelunker and everyone goes crazy when they see it. I don't think I would get such a response with a Looney Toon character! The cave should of been left alone so the people who saw it when they were kids-could share it with their kids and grandkids! It would be a much better attraction if it was left in the origianl condition.

I grew up going to Six Flags and it was our one outing for the summer. I always looked forward to the cool, mysterious CAVE ride. It was a fun diversion on a hot afternoon. I was VERY disappointed the last time I was at Six Flags to see that Looney Toons had taken over EVERYTHING, including my beloved Cave ride. Looney Toons do not even fit the idea of a water cave ride. It is not unique and is not the same fun experience that many have stood in line for in the past. Bring back the Spelunkers and let future children have the same fun that we had... Sincerely, Matt Dodson

The Spee-Lunkers is an icon of Six Flags. I fully realize that the characters are not a part of the Warner Bros. Company. But, lets face it; they should be. As a child visiting the park, the Cave was one of the few places to get cool. As I grew I began to realize the sheer magic of the ride. Then, as a parent to my little one I knew that the Cave was a safe place to take them. Come on guys -- bring it back!

As a young girl living in Arlington, summertime meant Six Flags and Six Flags meant Spee-Lunkers!!! Just mentioning the words, Six Flags Over Texas, would conjure an image of those mysterious little guys and gals. Later, as an employee of the The Cave, I really got to know those creatures. Dolly, the School Marm, the Boulder throwers, the Fisherman, Off-Ping Hammer Guy, Lincoln, Washington, the Lobster Wrangler, even the Mop Men. And know they're all gone. Why? So that we can be live audience to a marketing ploy? No fair!! The Cave used to be about creativity, mystery and imagination, now it's about selling plush toys and T-shirts!! Please bring back a whimsical part of SFOT's history (not to mention my fondest childhood fantasies)!!

Remember when the Warner Brothers cartoon characters were wild and anarchic? Well, that was a long time ago (before you were born, perhaps). Now they're simply lame animated advertisements without any real humor- shills for everything from sneakers to sodas. Returning the Speelunkers to the Cave would be a salute to the art of INDIVIDUALS. Yes, it's a radical idea to imagine that individual artists can make better art than corporate boardrooms, but it just might be a step in the right direction. The old Cave Ride was haunting and whimsical. Yosemite Sam's Coal-Chute is sad, dreary, boring and...why bother going on? I would ask for the return of the FABULOUS RIVERBOAT RIDE, but I can't stand the idea of it being packed with stupid Warner Bros. animations. Anyway, do the right thing- pull the Speelunkers out of the attic and bag the no-longer funny (or Looney) Tunes & throw them into the deepest lake you can find. God help us.

Six Flags has undergone great changes throughout the years. Most of which has caused the park to lose it's magical quality. Replacing this ride back to it's original configuration would put back some of the charm lost to Six Flags. This small gesture would greatly contribute to your bottom line because local patrons would such as I would return time and time again to recapture a small sliver of their youth. To return Spee-Lunkers Cave to it's original format would be of minimal cost as compared to today's megacoaster. And would require no costly land aquisition. Yet would go along way in attracting your best customers "local residents" to the park time and time again. This is probably the most cost effective way to increase your bottomline. I am sure the increased revenue would completely outweigh the cost of renovation. We former employees would asist in any way we could. Feel free to contact me if I can be of any help.

Charles and Pauline Pafford invited me and my mom, to Six Flags, after my dad died. Chuck (their son) escorted us throughout the park along with Charles..."The Silver Fox." The first time we went on the "Cave Ride" was so cool...especially the mist, at the end. I had never been on an adventure like that before. The lightening, barrel, music enhanced/spotlighted the Speelunkers. Believe me, I was impressed! After reading "why the Speelunkers should come back," I understand why. Six Flags used to be a place where familes gathered and had fun...a respectful atmosphere. Chuck,Pauline and Charles are now "gone." God bless them. DG

Please bring back the charm of Six Flags! The Spee-Lunkers and their cave was part of the charm of the park. What has happened to theming? What happened to France? Spain & Mexico have merged into one. Bring back defined sections to represent each of the countries for the Six Flags, is that not the name of the park? Is this not the park that started it all? I remember the charm, the beauty of the park. A place to spend the day with the family, with attractions for everybody from the youngest kid to the grandparents. Those days are gone, now the park is nothing more than a Warnerised, pop culture, thrill ride, amusement(I use the word loosely) park. Please bring Six Flags back to what it was intended and should be, with the spee-lunkers cave being part of that.

Dear CEO of Premier Parks Inc., After reading the impassioned words of countless Six Flags Over Texas devotees, I have but one thing to say about the removal of the Spee-lunkers from their rightful home: Can't you see, you're hurting people (sniff)? Okay, I have more than one thing to say. I live just minutes away from Six Flags Over Texas and have visited the park with my daughter once in the past several years. The reason is not the ever-increasing price of admission, but instead the transformation of an original, imaginative adventure park into a generic, thrill-ride dominated theme park. Don't get me wrong, I love Looney Tunes, but leave the characters where they belong - in the cartoons. Looney Toon Land is fine - the rest is overkill. I'm not totally opposed to change, but I strongly believe preservation and restoration can co-exist peacefully with renovation and improvement. Many of the adults that come to the park would like to re-live some of the adventure that made Six Flags special to them in the first place. There is no middle ground anymore - nothing in between the major thrill rides and Looney Toon land. We want the Spee-lunkers back in the cave - nothing less will do! And while your at it, I kind of miss the villain and the lumberjack from flumes one and two of the log ride. SPEE-LUNKERS RULE!!!!

I always enjoy Six Flags. I find myself thinking good thoughts... Until I get to what USED to be "The Cave". Then I start thinking about how my childhood memories have been squashed in favor of an over-rated cartoon advertisement. I miss the old ride. The lightning. The barrel. All of it. Just think of the media hype you could produce if you brought back a treasured historical landmark attraction. Many who have stopped attending SFoT would return just to ride "The Cave" again. I know I'm right about this!

Please bring back the Spee-Lunkers Cave! I loved the mystery of the moving beams in the entrance. We used to love this ride as kids! I know they were worried about snakes, but could they put nets up around the edges of the boats? This was always the most intriguing ride at Six Flags.

I remember this ride as our childhood favorite. It was always so soothing and cool in the darkness of the cave. A great escape from the Texas heat! The characters were so unique! Please bring back the speelunkers!

I feel that a large portion of the magic of "a trip to Six Flags" that I experienced as a child has been lost since many of the original, classic rides such as The Cave have been replaced by marketing schemes. While realizing that Six Flags is a business, I feel that younger generations of children have missed out on the unique qualities these original rides gave the park. I have always been more than happy to support Six Flags and while I have seen ticket prices soar over the past years, I have paid my money for trips on original rides such as the Judge, TX Giant, etc. I am not anti-warner - I love bug's and the gang, but I feel as a patron who has grown up with the park, that there is a place for them, and a place for originality. While visiting other parks, I have found that the non-sponsored original, good old fashioned Amusement Parks such as Sandy Lake, Kenneywood,etc(parks which are like the Six Flags of old)to be the most enjoyable. Please restore some of the original rides, The Cave in particular. I feel that if I am to spend my $ at Six Flags, I should get my $'s worth, not a virtual Warner cartoon. Respectfully yours, William Rutledge III

It was probably the worst time I ever went to Six Flags when I realized The Cave as I knew it was gone. To see everything I grew up with sold out to Warner Bros., it was absolutley sickening. The Speelunkers were the ride that my whole family went on every year and loved. Really, you sold the rest of the entire park to Warner Bros., couldn't you have left the only creative part of the park alone? Bring them back and maybe your attendance would go up. I for one have never been back since Six Flags was Warner-ized. Why do I need to go to an endless commerical? I can stay home and watch t.v. for that. With the prices that are being charged today, you would think we would be paying for some creativity.

It's a sick day when corporate mascots replace real treasures like the Spee-Lunkers. At least they didn't destroy the whole ride like they did to the Alpine Sleigh Ride in Houston to make way for Looney Tunes garbage.

I remember back when the spee lunkers inhabited the cave, there would at least be a que line. Now the ride is just a walk on. I thought my 4 year old would love the ride, but he even hates it. He'll ride all the rides he can (42" and below), but he will not ride the Gold River Adventure because he said that it wasn't the real characters and besides dad, it's stupid. So if a 4 year old isn't impressed with the Bugs stuff, then who is? Apperently not many, because there is never a line.

I'm writing about spelunkers cave. I was born and raised in oklahoma city,ok and my parents used to take our family to six flags over texas practically every year. Out of all the thrill rides,roller coasters,water rides etc, spelunkers cave was my best and most memorable ride at six flags.

It was so cool inside the cave and the little spelunkers were so cute and entertaining.I really hate that they replaced it with the looney tunes ride,I was hoping to one day let my daughter experience the spelunkers cave it was really a neat thing,and it really made six flags more enjoyable.Any chance of getting it back?

I always loved the Speelunkers when I rode the Cave as a kid. When I got the opportunity to work at Six Flags, it was easy to choose Cave as my first ride. The Speelunkers were great. Bugs is everywhere else in the park give us back the Speelunkers and the lightning scene.

I worked at Gold River in '97 and still work in the park as a ride supervisor. Kids complained that it was too loud and the cannon scared them, and Tweety & Sylvester are majorly annoying when you have to be on lift for an hour or longer. I miss The ship, the barrel, the lightening, and all the other stuff I grew up loving. My family always loved the speelunkers, but they never ride Gold River. My parents don't ride many rides. Please bring back the one they love.

The Speelunkers were commissioned by some of us to explore the caves and find the rightful home of some very shiny small stuffed thingies - we'll call them c-creepio's . the fantastic thing about the Speelunkers is the illusion that they truly possibly could actually exist in caves. most of us not being cave researchers ourselves can see that they are part of our vast unknown realm. LEAVE THEM WHERE THEY BELONG. thankyou.

I think it's too bad that the Spelunkers -- a wonderfully unique group of creatures -- were replaced by cartoon characters which can be seen almost everywhere you look nowadays. Bring back the Spelunkers and give future visitors to the park (especially children) something to remember that will set SFOT apart from all the other attractions in existence today.

I was a foreman at "The Cave" and really grew to love the speelunkers. Just recently I had one "volunteer" to work at the Octoberfest Reunion booth for the SFX (Six Flags former employees assoc) and he stayed at my house for a few days. My 6 year old daughter fell in love with him! In an age of high tech and she likes this simple little fellow that used to grace one of the best rides at Six Flags over Texas. That alone should be reason to bring them back. What do you say Premier? How about it? I'd even volunteer to track down all the fellas and see that they returned to their rightful place in the park.

Sometimes progress isn't always the best thing. When I started work at SFOT, we still had Skull Island, Spindletop, and canoes. Okay, they were C-rides. (We rated them, remember?) What's left of the old SFOT? Why does everything need to be designed to make you wet your pants in fear or throw up? Sure, Speelunker is cheesy. That's what made it great. Same for the LaSalle's Riverboat Ride. The point was knowing the spiel so well that you could tell when the tour guide said something that wasn't in the script. Seeing the tree go up by itself after the beaver chewed it in half. Six Flags of the future is great, but its charm goes beyond what lies in store for the strong of heart and stomach. It's coming back to the familiar. Maybe that's why I haven't taken my kids there. Too much has changed. What's left to remember?
