The Interpreter Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 Pardon me, Terpy needs a tissue. Badly: http://www.dailymail...rt-America.html The video at the end is heartbreaking. Please note WHERE the article is from. This was a great park. Was. Roller Coaster...the only major wooden coaster I ever got to ride with fixed PTC lap bars and no other restraint system (at the time). See also Jackrabbit at Kennywood (but with Miller-designed trains and added horse bridles). I always have a special place in my heart, too, for any major coaster named Coaster or Roller Coaster. Honesty, simplicity, integrity...it was a different time. Would any major park chain ever name a Diamondback size ride "Roller Coaster?" No. Drop Tower? Yes. Roller Coaster? No. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndyGuy4KI Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 Very sad indeed! Looks like it would really take a lot to get that park in usable shape! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIanatic1975 Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 Wow, that reminds me a lot of Idora. Hopefully the park can be bought out and reopen. But like Indyguy said it would take a lot to get it back in shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
