I believe Spring Fling was removed from Sugarbush after the 2001-2002 season. On Skimap.org, it is never shown as operating concurrently with the new Green Mountain Express which was installed for the 2002-2003 season. After Super Bravo went detachable in 1995, there was really no need for both Valley House and Spring Fling. They chose to keep Valley House because it accessed more terrain and was a better backup to Super Bravo, and sell Spring Fling even though it was a much newer lift.
This is sugarbush’s old spring fling triple.

I might be on my way to see this soon, since I live about 20 miles from Knoebels.

Sugarbush could have relocated spring fling to replace villager but instead they sold it to an amusement park.
