that damned roller coaster shook me so roughly that I hated the thought of going on a roller coaster ever again. It almost is what I'd call a violent attack!

lol...

not only until I rode one of those rail ones many years later did I say, okay, I might ride one of these types again.

but, as for MEAN STREAK....

BURN IT!

[font size=5]THIS WEEKEND ONLY- WE'RE GIVING EVERYONE WOOD! [/font]

Good riddance to that ride.

People need to reclaim that wood. There's going to be shit-tons of it.

The biggest damn roller coaster of my childhood?

Just checked online, and no, it is not the Blue Streak.

Knoebel's Amusement Park in Pennsylvania sometimes buys up other people's old coasters and restores and uses them. They have an outrageous wooden coaster called The Phoenix.

I was about to have a huge sad.

thought it was an old roller coaster that had old growth wood.

The wood is still probably very good though and can be re-purposed.

wonder if it is painted with something or treated with something that makes it a liability issue

i have no real conception of how much wood that is...but i need a hunk to help me fix a box spring that broke....

i understand it is sometime cheaper to dispose than reuse...but damn thats a lot of wood

Seems like a huge waste.
