Ghost Town in the Sky sold at auction

I've had many missed opportunities to visit this park. I didn't think anyone would actually try to reopen this park again. I've always passed up on opportunities to visit because the coaster wasn't running. This time, if it is open this June when I'm in the area, I will visit even if the coaster isn't running.

I wonder if they got the issues with the trains fixed on the coaster? I know they were working hard on getting the issues it had worked out and I thought I heard they were ready to open the coaster just before the landslide happened.

I hope it gets opened, another park within 2 hours drive for me? Heck yeah.

IIRC, there was a problem with the seat-mounts (welds vs. bolts, something like that). Sweet-looking ride, though...

Yes. Yes, it is. :)

If I recall correctly, a seat or seats fell off, or just the welds were cracked badly? I remember someone from the company used to post on Tommy's site and talked about it, but that was several years ago.

I never heard of a seat coming off, just cracks. I think the coaster ran about two or three days then they found the cracks.

I was under the impression it only ran 1 day. Though I could be wrong about that. My friend was there the day it opened and he didn't even know it was going to be running.

Great Facebook group for anyone who wants to follow up with what is going on with the park progress.
