RailRider Posted November 12, 2008 Posted November 12, 2008 $5000 for the Big Dipper, good buy. Quote
Gordon Bombay Posted November 12, 2008 Posted November 12, 2008 It'll be interesting to see if once all is said and done and the nickles are counted if this was worth it. I wonder what the gentleman from Akron who purchased the space needle plans to do with it? -Posted from Blackberry Quote
CoastersRZ Posted November 12, 2008 Posted November 12, 2008 Are you referring to the observation tower? I believe I read somewhere that it was going to be sold for scrap metal, but I could be wrong on that account. It will be interesting to see if we ever find out who the real owner of the Big Dipper is, and what exactly they intend to do with it. Hopefully, it is eventually moved, and does not just sit there on property, battling the elements and rotting away like the Screachin` Eagle at LeSourdsville Lake. Quote
RailRider Posted November 12, 2008 Posted November 12, 2008 The Skyscraper(Space Needle) was purchased for $12,500 by Ralph Plumpton of RP Motors in Akron. The Big Dipper was purchased for $5,000 by Tom Woosnam of APEX Western Machinery Movers. But the location and use of the ride have not been released. Quote
