Nice little article, though sad, I like seeing things about defunct parks.

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!!

I always love reading these, shows the past of the theme park industry that I never got to know.

If Coney Island wants a small looping coaster, here it is.

The Train is still on the track and everything!

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.

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...

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.

Great article! Thanks Gordon Bombay for the good read!
