deidre1976 Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 Does anyone know when the auction of the rides is gonna happen? If it already has occured does anyone know what rides are going where? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastersRZ Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 I don`t believe they are having an auction. At least not yet. The way I understand it was that some of the rides are for sale (excluding the log flume and Screechin` Eagle among some possible others). I know that at least one other Cincinnati area park made a visit to Americana to look at the rides, but nothing was decided upon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheKlockster Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 Hell probably keep the flume and the eagle - and charge people a fee per ride to experience them. I mean hes opening a camp ground right there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WooferBearATL Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 Probably be a lot of money getting the Eagle up and running. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKIVortex Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 Maybe Kings Island is going to by their Flying Scooters. Maybe they finally relized the mistake of them removing them from KI. I can only wish right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean hes opening a camp ground right there. If he did that I think it would be a great idea. Keeping the ride there is the best option I can think of.

I can only wish right. Yes, you can. On a side note, my local park in West Virginia, Camden Park, installed flying scooters for this year. I need to get there and try them out. I've heard that you can snap them too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vortex Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 I know that at least one other Cincinnati area park made a visit to Americana to look at the rides, but nothing was decided upon. I wonder if Coney Island is looking. Sure Kings Island could but for a small park it would be a good idea for Coney to buy used rides.

CoastersRZ Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 Well, lets keep in mind that the last two installs at Coney were brand new rides and not used rides (Frog Hopper from S&S and Scream Machine from MoseRides). Most of Coney`s other rides are used rides. In fact, the Tilt-A-Whirl came from the auction at Fantasy Farm (which was next to Americana). I can`t discuss what Coney has in store for next season. In part because they aren`t entirely sure what they are doing themselves (although they have it narrowed down to a few options). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon Bombay Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 Has anyone seen the intamin track that was on that barge going by Great American Ball park the other night? Its rumored to be going to coney island! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheKlockster Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 I am hearing they are getting a 501 foot Intamin Wing Rider. What an upset to Cedar Point! The record gets taken by a tiny park in Cincinnati! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Interpreter Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 One thing is for sure. If that is what Coney is getting, I bet they don't fell all the mighty oaks to put it in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOPGUN1993 Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 Coney needs the big Whip form Americana. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
