Video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BtqHBuHAHOsOur friends at The Gravity Group asked to "borrow" our coaster track to test the prototype of the new wooden coaster train they're designing.
The testing went remarkably well and the train is now back in Cincinnati. We put our PTC trains back on the tracks for another season.
...but it sure was fun to take a tiny part in what Will referred to as "quite possibly a piece of roller coaster history."

^Yes they are. Don't forget that this is only the prototype version. It doesn't even have lapbars yet either.
