Dorney Park Laser SOLD


Recommended Posts

I wonder if they're will be any details on where it is going anytime soon. Any Coaster Enthusiasts should get as many rides on that classic coaster before it is removed and taken somewhere else. :(

Another note: I wonder if it went for its asking price of 1.2 million. That seems a little hefty. :unsure:

All I've heard, Ronny, is some specualtion that it will go to HW. There is a thread over at coasterbuzz that discusses some new markers at HW. Supposedly, some patrons have been asking for a steel looping coaster and some say it may find it's way there. I don't know of any solid evidence.

OK, of my anylisis it doesn't even look like thier enough room for laser anywhere except In the area between Voyage and the road but it'd be a tough fit, also as I was at the top of the lift hill on the Voyage I saw no markers. Publicity stunt maybe?

I am assuming since most of these posts were from the summer of 2008, that the footings/markers reported were from what was actually Holiday World's 2009 attraction, Pilgrims Plunge...

 

...which, a mere 5 years later, was gone. In hindsight, perhaps Holiday World should have bought Laser instead...it would probably still be around today had they done so, since it is currently running in Europe. Alas, hindsight is 20-20 and at the time a 135-foot tall boat ride must have seemed like a great idea, and it was a fun ride when it did work...but obviously, it was down way too often for the park's liking in the end. (Though it was at some point open and I did ride it on all 3 of my Holiday World trips when it was still there- guess I got lucky with the Plunge...) :P

And, as it turns out, Holiday World was originally planning a B&M Inverted Coaster at the time. They released a brief, partial glance at the overhead view of it during one of the Thunderbird construction vlogs.

Never rode Laser, but I enjoy most Schwarzkopf loopers I've ridden enough that having one at Holiday World would likely have been pretty awesome. Oh well!
