Dieseltech20 Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 Nice little article, though sad, I like seeing things about defunct parks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IBEW_Sparky Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 That was very cool, thanks for the link! You know, it would be nice for KI management to somehow find a way to contact the current owners of the property/rides and pick up those Eagles!!

Coney Islander Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 If Coney Island wants a small looping coaster, here it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastersRZ Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 In all fairness, I doubt that Coney would be interested in that ride. Although I have it on good authority that Coney was interested in securing the Flying Scooters from Americana/LeSourdsville Lake. But the ride ended up going to none other than Fun Spot and Coney got the Rock O Planes from LeSourdsville Lake instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 And thank goodness for that. With all due respect, Americana/LeSourdsville Lake's Flying Scooters were either the second worst or worst set I ever encountered...due to some misguided soul's attempt to remodel the tubs. I can never decide if Holiday World's are worse or not. I think they are. Meanwhile, the Rock O Planes was a fantastic addition... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastersRZ Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Indeed it was. It is currently the only ride at Coney that permits riders to travel upside down (as well as allowing the riders to rock). It is amazing how many people will try to rock the seats on the other Ferris Wheel, even when there are warning signs on the back of each car, not to mention, it sometimes takes two or more verbalized warnings to instill in some riders that rocking of the cars is not permitted.
