October 22, 201411 yr Kind of confusing here. In March Miracle Strip @ Pier Park announced it would be "rebuilding " the Starliner. But not really, it is a GCI coaster "inspired" by the original John Allen design. Link to that article: http://newsplusnotes.blogspot.com/2014/03/miracle-strip-pier-park-shows-off-new.html Now comes August, and this article says the parks owner, Teddy Meeks, purchased the Starliner from Cypress Gardens when it closed. Starliner had been moved there when the original Miracle Strip Park closed. Link to article: http://www.wjhg.com/home/headlines/Miracle-Strips-Starliner-is-Making-a-Return-to-Panama-City-Beach-270543001.html Anyone know which one they are actually building? And just cause I loved this old woodie, I've included a video from when it was at the original Miracle Strip Park. Some mild language, viewer discretion is advised. Also note it was still hand braked at that time, lol.
October 22, 201411 yr Didn't Cypress Gardens pretty much replace all the wood anyway? I always thought it was a shame Lego Land did not keep the ride.
October 22, 201411 yr Author Starliner 2.0 possibly reusing wood from the original. Does that mean a few pieces of wood, doth a coaster make? I've seen pieces of S.O.B. listed on eBay. Can someone buy them and incorporate them into the design and call it S.O.B.?
