IndyGuy4KI Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 HW just posted a pic of a steel coaster they removed in 1998 called Firecracker . I never knew they had a steel coaster. http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150098448249538&set=a.10150098448239538.279048.35385539537&theater Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FOFreak Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Yes. I never got the chance to ride it unfortunately. It looks rather rough. Can anyone here remember any ride experiences on how it was back in the day? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 It was not rough. It was a fine and fun ride. It traveled the fair circuit after leaving HW, and I do believe I rode it one year at the Ohio State Fair (or was it in South Carolina? one of the two...)

CoastersRZ Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 According to RCDB, the ride was at the Ohio State Fair from 1999 to 2009. Not sure where it was at last season... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PREMiERdrum Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 According to RCDB, the ride was at the Ohio State Fair from 1999 to 2009. Not sure where it was at last season... Wasn't there an incident involving this ride at the state fair in '09? I might have to email Dave... Edit: The 2009 OSF accident involved the snapped cable on Slingshot. I seem to remember that this ride was involved in an accident that took it off the circuit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Columbia, Columbus - I can see how you'd confuse the two Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Bombay Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 That's actually a great picture. Nice use of framing. Any idea if that coaster had a similar layout to the Python at Coney? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darkmarkman Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 I remember riding it when I was a kid, it was a bunch of fun. I remember the ride ops had to push the car around to the lift. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
