Dave, here it is:
And similar to the pipeline coasters, Duane lists it as a Steel coaster. The way I found about it was in ACE's census. Plus it was on our ACE trip through Spain last year.

But was Matterhorn really concrete? Or, was it just a material used to cover everything up? In other words, a steel structure with a fiberglass formed to look like a cave. Montaña Suiza has it's track actually affixed to concrete.

On the other hand, I guess you could say Montaña Suiza is as much a concrete coaster as the mine trains are wooden coasters.

I think the amount of fun you can have at Camden and parks like it are based on the groups you go with. If you go in alone you'll probably blast through it in a couple hours.
I visited in 2001 was supposed to meet up with friends. Got there about noon and did everything I wanted. The Caterpillar was the unique thing then that I've only ridden one other at Idlewild.
I was pretty much done with the park by 2 but was waiting for the friends and eventually decided to leave. Got my hand stamped and took some pics from out in the parking lot and the friends show up. Man we had a ball for another four hours. The bumpercars are insane, The whip is nuts. The NAD Jr. is a trip in itself. Paratrooper, Insane spider and at that time. THE FLUME WAS COVERED BY WEEDS AND STICKER BUSHES. No kidding you layed in the log to get though it. Was honestly worried about a snake or mouse jumping in. They've cleaned things up quite a bit. A couple years earlier than that, BIG Dipper actually had a bent collapse.
I hear the park is doing pretty well compared to where it was. I wish it well. I pass it about ten times a year. Surprised I haven't stopped back.
I agree that if you are with friends, you'll have more fun at Camden Park. When I spend time with family there, I always enjoy it more.
Other parks, on the other hand, I can enjoy either alone or with others.

I agree with you, billb7581. Camden Park's Haunted House is not a coaster to me.
Nice to have you here. We talk a lot about coasters, but not exclusively about coasters. There are a lot of discussions about general amusement park topics, and dark rides are included in that. I would guess that dark rides is way up there in topics that we discuss.

Sorry for resurrecting such an old topic, but RCDB added Haunted House to the site this week. Anyone going to reconsider not counting it now?
I saw that yesterday. It does have similarities to a coaster, such as a track, a lift hill, a drop, and is gravity powered. I would feel kind of dishonest adding it to my track record, so I guess I don't really consider it to be a coaster after all.

Absolutely no way.
I don't count powered "coasters" either.
I develop Superior Solitaire when not riding coasters.
