Man dies in go-kart crash in Wisconsin Dells

:-)

Mike, I'm not sure if they are still there, but they have been there.

7 out of the top 10 most funny moments of my life are a result of a LostKause photo-edit.

Yes, I went down to that area of Dorney Park when I was there a few weeks ago, and that section of the park has been blocked off. The farthest you can go is to the Trout Pond Circle near Demon Drop's entrance.

I went back that way to see if the Swan Boats were still there, but they were not. Not sure when they were removed. You can still see the go-kart track, but I don't know if the cars are still there. The only time I've ever been on that track was when they use it for a haunt in October. Hopefully they will put some cool ride back there. That section of the park doesn't get a lot of love.

That makes me feel sad inside.

The go karts were called Thunder Creek Speedway. They were way in the back corner under Steel Force's Helix/Turnaround near the Trout Pond Fountain.

With both the Swan Boats (removed in 2011, I believe) and Speedway gone, the back corner of the park near that fountain is just a blocked off dead corner.

That dead corner would be a great fit for a Zamperla Air Race...

Site of the next recycled ride.

It was an exaggeration

I figured. It's really only 6 out of the top 10, right? ;-)

Oh, you took my joke...

ANY empty space is a great fit for a Zamperla Air Race. I enjoyed the hell outta that ride at Luna last summer!

I rode the smaller, portable version (2 seater) at the Florida State Fair in February. They called it Air Raid. I think it's an ingenious ride, probably one of the most original Zamperla has come up with. I'd really like to try the larger park version someday. In fact, I think it would be the perfect fit at Kings Island on the old Flight Commander pad. (currently home to a crappy dinosaur party tent) Those planes looping around on that hill would be a great sight to see at that end of the midway, and fun to ride.

If my wish comes true it sure won't be for '14, will it?

For those who are lost, this is what they are talking about.

Well, that thing looks like a puke-fest.
