74Gibson Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 That is sad. Nastalgia is a wonderful thing and it's always sad when a piece of it dies. For those of you who gripe about The Beast being over rated, those ratings will keep it alive and, as it was my first coaster, I don't want to see it go for a very long time.

The Interpreter Posted December 13, 2008 Author Share Posted December 13, 2008 Oh, really? Ratings did nothing for the Riverview Bobs. Parks and rides are economic propositions. Ratings mean very, very little in the grand scheme of things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOPGUN1993 Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 http://www.amusementtoday.com/ Morey’s Piers' Golden Nugget purchased by Knoebels Amusement Resort (Jan 26, 2009) Though we at Amusement Today have known all along the identity of the Golden Nugget's new owner, we honored a request to keep the information classified until both the Morey organization and the new owner were ready to release details. Below is an exclusive announcement AT just received that finally reveals the mystery: "Given the amount of speculation occurring online and the number of phone calls we’re receiving asking the question, it’s time to acknowledge that Knoebels Amusement Resort in Elysberg, Pa. has purchased the Golden Nugget track and trains from Morey’s," said Joe Muscato of Knoebels. "There are no immediate plans to install the ride at Knoebels. This is, at best, a 2010 project. Neither a final location, or design/concept have been determined. The plan is not to exactly reproduce the ride as it was at was at Morey’s Pier. Dick Knoebel, president of Knoebels Amusement Resort, said, “I’ve always liked the Golden Nugget and we’re excited about bringing it to Knoebels but we are not going to rush the project. We want to be sure that it is restored in a manner that both acknowledges the ride’s past and looks to its future at Knoebels.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
