I actually attended the grand opening of the first modern looping coaster, the Corkscrew at Knott's Berry farm. I ended up on the news doing the Charleston while waiting in the four hour line just to ride a 30 second ride. Those were the days. Yes, I'm old.

Are there any plans in the works for a wood coaster with a launch system? How fun "wood" that be?

Very clever and nicely done.

These are great pix. I really enjoyed seeing the guts of the ride. Gotta love the technology behind it. We truely live in a wonderful time of amusements.

Davon, This was a great trip report. It was so much fun and looking at the pictures brought back forgotten memories. I wish I could have spent more time with you to get to know you better. Let's do it again soon. Start saving $$$ Thom

You're a big girl now Kristen. I can't wait to ride with you in Europe. See you at your big 3 bash. Your biggest fan in Nor Cal. Thom

SWEET!!!

Wow!! My heart was racing while reading this post. Glad you are ok Robb.

I remember the Dragon ride. It ran in a continuous loop. The upper station is now the location of the Ninja station (look at the floor and see the circular platform that used to rotate). The lower station was located next to the now removed spin out. The Dragon cars were all linked onto a chain in a slot that moved continuously.
