Kennyweird Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 It lost a wheel?! That's kind of unsettling, considering I'm going to Lakemont in a few weeks if everything works out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Force 310 Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 From the TR, the way the maintenance people reacted makes it seem like an everyday occurence. I would hope that it isn't an everyday occurence, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Coaster Girl Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Leap the dips goes very slow and has side rails , so i dont think it would be real dangerous to you when losing a wheel, may be a little painful when you skid though. But i still think lakemont is worth your going to, its a nice park. And i love leap the dips, plus if the day is slow, you can just stay on skyliner and not have to get off.

Big Mike Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 I agree Little Coaster Girl. I will stop by Lakemont anytime I am in the area. Peace, Big Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFAfan#1 Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 This park freaks me out how old and dangerous-looking the coasters are..... I really want to go one day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
