Hey folks. Out of all of the original HH stunts from 1964, including the Rat, Skull Spiders, Knitwit, Old Mill, etc, which do you think has been the most durable over the years (both in terms of mechanical and cosmetic)?
On the flip side, which one do you think is most susceptible to damage? Just wondering what you all think. Thanks!

Hmmm...In my oppion, most durable would be The Upsidedown Room, since it has held it's own from the start, and isn't somthing I would expect to be subjected to vandilism due to th fact that the majority of the stunt is on the celling an unreachable to most visitors. In machanical terms, a new lightbull every now an then isn't really a big investment for a every-now-an-then repair, since it's really the only machanical part of the stunt...
On a side note, I think that the Rats are probobly the most at risk because they are not that large an off the ground for a normal vandal or notimpressed (Sorry about the pun, ) to take a swipe at without even leaving the coffin. But they all have survived this long, so let's hope they continue to stand their ground...

The facade bat! What would the HH be without it looming over all the eager boardwalk patrons on hot summer nights? Sure it is shown some mercy in the winter by being kept inside, but overall, I think it's probably the "toughest" stunt there is, seeing as it's being constantly abused all summer long by the salty sea air, searing sun, seagulls, rain, and of course the occasional ride-goer yanking the tail.
As far as most fragile stunt goes, in my opinion, the older tracy ones (knit wit, sawmill, the bathroom) look like they would be the easiest to damage if even the slightest force came into contact with them.
