Good lord,I can see the flame posts coming now that this guy stole this thing.

Well, someone really did steal an old cross bracket for Wicked Twister and one or more of the spoilers for TTD.

I've heard of the park giving away things, but nothing that big. It seems to me that the park likes to leave old parts laying around. If I'm not mistaken, I think they keep cars simular to that under Disaster Transport. I haven't heard anything about one of them being stolen but I don't doubt it.

My memory is a little fuzzy on this, but this body looks like it could be from the original Turnpike Cars track.

That is the track from the early 60's without the center guide rail. The cars had bumpers all the way around, kind of like a Dodgem car, and the road had high wooden guard rails on each side of the road to keep the cars on the road.

To the guys credit, at least he isn't bragging about out-running security, and being on a closed off part of the beach to get the item up for auction.
This could even be cool for making your kids bed out of. Might take some modification, but it'd be cool.

Who said he stole it?

I never said it was stolen but i am interested in how he got the part. Did he buy it or did Cedar Point give the part to him?
