BillyGilmore Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 What ever happened to the Bavarian Beetle. No one seems to know what it looked like, and I can't find any pictues. Does anyone know where I can find anything about the coaster? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grunts Rock Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 So this coaster was pretty much exactly like the Galaxie that was at PKD. Here is my page for PKD's Galaxie, with one of only 2 pictures I have seen for it. Too bad old classics like these go away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillyGilmore Posted February 27, 2004 Author Share Posted February 27, 2004 Why did they remove it ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drewbari Posted February 28, 2004 Share Posted February 28, 2004 It was old, and it had its time. Before it came to PKI, it Operated from 1970 to 9/6/1971, as Galaxi at Coney Island, then in 1972 it came to PKI as Bavarian Beetle, then it was closed in 1979.

KIBeast Posted March 1, 2004 Share Posted March 1, 2004 I also heard that it was removed because of a certain section where the train would get stuck and not clear a hill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flightoffear1996 Posted March 8, 2004 Share Posted March 8, 2004 How do they get the train back to the station if it stalls? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIBeast Posted March 8, 2004 Share Posted March 8, 2004 Good question. Well, how do they get a train back to the station if it valleys? Probably manually somehow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoddaH1994 Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 That would be interesting. I'd love to see them winch a train through all of The Beast's track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flightoffear1996 Posted March 17, 2004 Share Posted March 17, 2004 That would be interesting. I'd love to see them winch a train through all of The Beast's track. What is a winch? I never ever heard of it and what does it do. is it man powered or what? what does it look like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dane Posted March 17, 2004 Share Posted March 17, 2004 It's a roll of cable that can be powered by man or hydralics, or even electricity. The motor spins the roll and the cable of course rolls around it. Next time you see a tow truck, look at the cable and what it's connected to. You can also find them mounted on the grill of a truck.
