Ryan King Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Hey TPR Folks! So this was a really unique experience today. I went down the road to the local Habitat for Humanity (AKA recycler store) and to my surprise...Roller Coaster Cars! I was shocked to see these in the side yard. I inquired to one of the employees as to where they came from. He said "I cant give away any personal information of the donator, all I can say is they were donated." Well no duh... He said they have about 12 cars in storage, but only brought two to the shop for display and to entice interest. I looked them over but couldn't find any makers marks or plaques indicating a park of any kind. There was just your generic "Remain seated at all times" sign in the cars. Any one have any idea what they are off of? For all I know they are from some crappy carnival ride. But cool none the less. -Ryan King P.S. They are asking 325 dollars per car...in case you're wondering.... P.S.S. The wheels say "Made in Germany" Roller Coaster Cars! Wicked! Wonder what they are from?

DoubleDown Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 No doubt someone here will figure it out, but looks to be a non-inverting carnival type of ride. Very cool and thanks for sharing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KBrylczyk Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 ^ Ah, MGM Grand Adventures. I wish it still existed rather than the new driving range they're building. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The coaster was purchased and brought to Fresno for a future theme park project, but it went bust. I'm surprised they donated the cars...whats up with the track?I find it all very odd.

I have more questions more then I have answers. Its not like its some well known ride or anything...I am just puzzled by it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
