Dexter Freebish

There is a band called Dexter Freebish. They have a picture of a wooden coaster on their cd cover. At first glance, I thought it was the Zephyr at Pontchartrain Beach. I was wrong though. Can anyone tell me what it is?

I just looked up their site and saw the woodie. I don't know what coaster it is but the thing on top of the lift should make it easy for someone to pick it out.

They play this band on the radio a lot here in Denver. Apparently they got their name from an old RC they all used to ride as kids, so the coaster on the cover is probably the same one.

No, the "dexter freebish" coaster was a steel mine train at SFAW. Based on the curve of the drop and the Astroworld connection, I would have to say it's an old picture of the Texas Cyclone, before the ungodly Morgan "coffin cars". BTW, I think that 'radio tower' looking thing on the top is the product of PhotoShop or someother editing program. Notice the letters DF on it.

"Like the now-defunct roller coaster the band grew up riding which gives them their name, Dexter Freebish's Capitol Records debut, A Life of Saturdays, takes you on a visceral ride, a thrilling rock & roll journey filled with hairpin turns, dramatic ups and downs and the kind of exhilaration which only comes from great songs with lots of energy"

That's what the official site says.

Are you sure that's not the Zephyr? It looks just like the picture of Zephyr in one of my books. I think Zephyr was the only roller coaster to have that weird tower-thingie on the top of the lift hill. Although I do think the "DF" was added by computer.

Coasters...the best natural buzz available.

It's not the Zephyr? I thought it was with that red ball at the top and twisting drop. Are you sure?

The Zephyr had NAD trains and that weird tower thing at the top looks nothing like the tower that was on the Zephyr.

That drop looks like a mirror image of SFA's Wild One. But that triangle thing on top could have be added. Someone email the band i'm sure you'd probably get an answer there.
