Truly a sad story. I just heard about it today while I was listening to Monday's In The Loop podcast. He was one of my favorite coaster designers ever and he really inspired me to get into Roller Coasters and some day aspire to be a designer. I also believe he created the single best roller coaster on the face of the earth in Magnum XL-200. His lift chain has taken him to a place no coaster can ever climb, RIP Ron Toomer.
