Superstar Party is in conjunction with the Park celebration and one of the few night runs that we have for the public. Scott Hewis leaving the station with a trainload of passengers on his first run with Dick Clark on his train waiting to be loaded. As Dick's train is being loaded by Roberta Uhrich, Rick Nagy pulled up into loading position.

Mike Harkleroad arrives at the station with his train at the end of the run with Dave Woldman as his conductor.
