Plain Dealer: Park dismantling coaster for move

Gee, I hope MiA gets X-Flight. With living a little under an hour from it, I would like to see another steel since Corkscrew and Wild Mouse are the only ones.

Don't forget about Big Dipper. :)

The Big Dipper is wood. http://rcdb.com/id236.htm

It's steel at MIA

You are right, Big Dipper at Geauga Lake is wood, but the one in MIA is steel.

Edit: You beat me to it Lon.

ooohhhhhhhh. Silly me. Geauga Lake thread, Big Dipper, steel. Yes yes yes. It's a good thing names of coasters aren't really important!! :)

Too bad "Big Dipper" is a production name for that particular coaster, so you can't start blaming "corporate chains killing babies" on that one.

Big Dipper has been a common roller coaster name throughout the years. I guess we might as well go back and force everyone but the very first one to change names.

Also, we need to watch out with names of cars. I get confused and think there's a horse parked outside if somebody says they drive a Mustang. From my understanding, horses were around first, so it's pretty un-original of Ford to give their car that same name.

WOW exit, does that mean I have to change the name of my Astro van because the Jetson's dog was around first? :)

Not you, you're not the one responsible for it. Chevy, however, should be burned at the stake for confusing its customers like that!

No, they should be burned at the stake for making the Astro at all.

Need I mention the Diahatsu again? :)

Yet you still can't spell it. :rolleyes:

Oh, I know how to spell it. I just love to mis-spell it cause it makes you angry.

Alternative spellings: U-G-L-Y. :)

Hey, I like my Astro. I have owned several of them. All of which have gone for at least 250,000 miles. One of them even made it to 500,000 miles. They always seem to start falling apart cosmetically way before they quit running.

I had a Ford Taurus once. I was a junior is high school and the car was 7 years old.

Cost me $2100 when the transmission went a month after I got it.

And that, ladies and germs, is why I hate Fords.

What else do you expect from a company that brought us the Edsel and Pinto.

We have that in common Josh (although mine is a 1999 Sable). Except when my tranny went, it was less than 2 weeks after I got it but only cost me $150 US for a used one and free labour on the account that my dad did it. Now I need to replace my passenger side mirror because it fought a large construction pylon and lost. It looks like it will cost more than the transmission.

Check junkyards. CHEAP parts from cars like that. And, have your dad help put it on again.
