gregleg Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 According to this entry in RCDB, DelGrosso's park will be the new home of Libertyland's old loopscrew, Revolution. While this isn't a major coaster by most enthusiasts' standards, I can't say I blame the park at THAT price. For less than the cost of most flatrides, they're getting a ride that they should be able to market like crazy to the locals. I just hope they leave enough room for the woodie they've been talking about... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerekRx Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 Woohoo, Credit! Glad to see the park gets another coaster, and is well on its way to seeming like a more "complete" park. All it needs is the woodie and we're good to go. Now I have another reason to go back to the park next year besides the pizza and potato salad.

apollo210 Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 YES! I might visit this park in '07 and I'll have something to look forward to! But hope its not like Canobie Corkscrew . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hercules Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 That's freakin' awesome. I was hoping a PA park would pick that hunk of crap up just so I could see what it is like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterdude5 Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 They've run into a bit of a problem. When the coaster was built, they didn't bolt the track together, they welded it. They're going to have to cut it into pieces and then reassemble it. And they've only got until July 21st. Hope for the best! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoasterFanatic Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 Just wait until the end of the season and go to the Italian Festival. Then you can get the mucho huge Italian Sampler for $6 and ride the corkscrew! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Sabo Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 ^^^Unless the sale was "as-is" the park can actually have S&S or a metal/track fabricator shop convert the track to a bolt-on package. Case in point: Big Bad Wolf modifications in 89 and 91. Sections after 1st lift and the last drop (s-curve) sections were re-profiled and now use a bolt-on pattern.

FlyingScooter Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 This is great news. We're planning a PA coaster trip for next summer and this will add to it nicely. We're shooting for Idlewild, CLP, Kennywood, Waldameer, Lakemont, Delgrosso, Hershey and Dutch Wonderland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apollo210 Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 ^Hey! We are also going to Pennysvannia maybe as well and we might hit parks such as Lakemont and Delgrosso's! We might also hit Hershey, but I'm looking forward to this coaster now that I know how to ride CC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddie200330 Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 I know this is an old thread, but I was just playing @ and checked out rcdb and now it says 2008 for the "new" coaster?? http://www.rcdb.com/id3606.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECZenith Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 Apollo, it's the better version of the corkscrew that includes the vertical loop, which Canobie does not have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddie200330 Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 Since summer is approaching and nothing has been posted on RCDB or their website, I thought out of curiosity I would drop them a line. Here is their reply.. Hello and thank you for your interest in DelGrosso’s Amusement Park. To be honest we have been doing a lot of homework on the Corkscrew coaster. There still is no concrete time when the coaster is going up though. It will be a great addition to the Park someday. Sorry!
