Roller Coaster Track Question., PICTURE SIZE FIXED.

[KI Kevin]

Sccard, that's definitely Chang. However from the original pictures I have no idea you can tell that those pieces are B&M, or even roller coaster track. They all look the exact same.

EDIT: Okay, maybe not the exact same but still. Interesting find!

When looking at that address by satellite photos, it shows a scrap yard adjacent to the property; could this be wreck-out track?

The place is on Steel Plant Road, it might be there for refurbishment. It's nowhere near enough track to be the entire ride, so maybe some of it got damaged during disassembly.

This appears to be the place.

Which address has the parts? There is some distance on a map between the two?

The one I gave came from Maxim crane website.It's on the far edge of their crane lot.

There are a lot of industrial businesses in that area. Steel Plant Road is so named due to the steel plant at the end of it. That company apparently manufactures electrically-welded steel pipes and similar products (see http://www.tmk-group.com/tmk-ipsco_wilder.php for more info).

The steel plant is down in the valley, so the coaster track wouldn't be at that plant.

If you go to google maps, and type, Maxim Crane, Wilder ky. It gives you the correct location.

Finally had a chance to get down there today. Definitely looks like roller coaster track to me.

If you're planning to check this out, here's my recommended route:

I-75 South or I-71 South to I-471 South

Take Exit 2 (US-27, Fort Thomas/Southgate)

Turn right off the exit ramp and get in the far left lane

Turn left onto Moock Road

Follow Moock Road until it dead-ends at Licking Pike

Turn left onto Licking Pike

The crane yard is about a mile and a half down on the right.

If you live near the southern half of I-275, you can take I-275 to Exit 77 and head north from there.

Well im 10000000% sure that all of Changs track is sitting at Six Flags Great Amreicas back parking lot. When I was at No coaster Con back in January I talked to the Director of Operations of the park and he told me that.

I can tell your fact in not correct, only a few pieces of track and supports are their at Sfgam, theirs two reasons I know this, Its my home park and that I know someone in upper management at the park and he said that most of the track is still in storage in Kentucky waiting to get refurbished, more than likely just to get repainted. All that is at the park is a few section of the ride their, a couple of supports the staircase and section of track that looks to be part of the station and the start of the lift hill.

Chang may also never be put together in SFGAM, due to Kentucky Kingdom still fighting for it.

[The Interpreter]

How on earth would the Commonwealth of Kentucky end up with Chang?

It was not built on fair property.

It did not belong to the Commonwealth of Kentucky.

It was purchased by Six Flags...with Six Flags money, bought and paid for...from the then owner of the park.

The lease did not in any way require the consent of the landlord to remove property from lands not covered by the lease.

Bluster.

Nothing more.

[Colonel_SoB_fan]

Which is why I said they are fighting for Chang. The chances of them getting Chang back is slimer than slim shady.

I'm here all summer

Chang was not been shipped back to Kentucky. It has been in storage in Kentucky since it was dismantled, other than the few pieces that have been sitting @ Sfgam for most of the winter. Here is what i have been told. Chang will be going into Sfgam in 2011 season, their was never any intention to have installed for the 2010 season. It will go in one of two places. the old Splash Waterfalls location and the old Space Shuttle America and parking lot location, I was told the park is looking more towards the old SSA spot.

Here are some pictures of the old SSA location.
