Pardon me, Terpy needs a tissue. Badly:

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.

Very sad indeed! Looks like it would really take a lot to get that park in usable shape!

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.
