o ya lol

by **coasterguy** on March 9th, 2003, 2:42 pm

no i think it cost too much to maintain and got beat up. I then it probably wasn't very popular too

by **coasterzak** on March 9th, 2003, 5:00 pm

Does anyone have any explanation about this ride, or interesting from actually seeing it or remembering it?

by **coasterinsane** on March 9th, 2003, 5:24 pm

there was also a gulf cosater at paramonts great america.... Except it stayed open a little longer

by **coastrcorey** on March 9th, 2003, 9:19 pm

Yeah, I had heard that there was a different kiddie coaster... I just never knew the name either.

i heard that there was like 3 fires in one week on that ride, and thats one reason they got rid of it

by **coasterzak** on March 10th, 2003, 5:46 pm

Hmm... I'm surprised that they let the word out about fires to the public. I heard something about Great America covering up when there are problems on rides and taking them down later that year. I guess that could have just been a rumor, or irrelevant hearsay. *cough* shockwave *cough*

Well of course they aren't going to go and make public announcements about bad things that happen! "Hey, everyone! There were a few fires this week that risked the lives of our guests! It's ok though. You probably won't die!"

I could find out more about the ride. When I go for training they have arearial photos of the park from when it opened till now. So I will try to look for it in the maps! :wink:

Good, try to take a pic of it. But don't tell me any secrets, because I spilt something awhile back. *chough*Whizzerwasgoing*cough*

I might have a clue about that coaster. First I need to know has anyone here seen a ride there (Sfgam) that had ladybug cars?

by **coastrcorey** on March 11th, 2003, 6:53 pm

Nope, can't say I do...

Here is an ACE article about the Gulf Coaster(PGA park). You will need Acrobat to read it. Scroll down to the second article.http://www.mocedades.com/temp/ncd6.pdf

Rather interesting Chitown, lots of information. Sounds like a fun ride, something I would enjoy, especially the slapping of the hands with the operator as the train goes by. It reminds me of a kiddie coaster at a small park close to home.
