Thanks, for that, Paul....this is a great thread. Apparently, the Big Dipper is to Blackpool's Pleasure Beach as the Cylcone is to Coney Island's Astroland. Very fast and very old. BTW, a few years back there were a slew of lawsuits against the owners and operators of Astroland for operating the Cylclone at too great a rate of speed. And there apparently was some validity to the lawsuits....see link below: lawprofessors.typepad.com/tortsprof/2008/10/coney-island-cy.htmlJeff |
