Dane Posted August 17, 2004 Share Posted August 17, 2004 John Allen, designer of The Racer & The Beastie, died 25 years ago today. John also helped out on the design for The Beast but was not the master designer. Some of John calculations were made in the International Street Restaurant on the back of a placemat. That placemat is still up there and on display. John designed 22 coasters in his day, click here for a list of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KIBeast Posted August 17, 2004 Share Posted August 17, 2004 I would say that this is the man responsible for my love of coasters. Although The Racers were not my first coaster, it was what I would call my first major coaster. God rest his soul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
