Trouble is, I cant find any info or pictures of what it could be.

what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard.
Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it.
I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

More info and video, but still no pictures. They are having a contest to name the coaster as well.

No mention of a roller coaster in either link.

Read the artical

"Jenkins said State Fair firsts include Gov. Jennifer Granholm jump-starting activities with a ribbon cutting at noon on opening day, performances by the renowned Lipizzaner Stallions, the world's largest portable roller coaster and a bull-riding rodeo".

"Largest traveling roller coaster in North America." More likely to be NAME's (formerly Conklin's) Doppel Looping.

Is Wade Shows still doing the MSF midway?

I am pretty sure they are talking about the RC-48 they recently bought and repainted.

Yes Dave, they are still doing it. They have been doing it for as long as I can remember.

I was going to say, I would have thought the cost of shipping Olympia Looping to the USA would be prohibitive. But perhaps the writer considers the world to only consist of North America...

I develop Superior Solitaire when not riding coasters.

If it is the rc-48, it is listed in the wade shows web site.

RC-48s are just amazingly awful. It's too bad if it really is the largest portable currently traveling North America.

Never been on one. What makes them so bad?

Looks like a semi interesting layout.(no pun intended.)

I imagine it's the largest coaster currently traveling in North America, not the largest coaster capable of traveling in North America (which I believe would be Conklin's ride). I agree that RC-48s are terrible. Someone would have to pay me serious money to ride one of those things.

I think they are already setting it up, I passed a truck on I-75 with blue and yellow coaster supports a few days ago.

Anyone have an update on this? I'm curious to know what qualifies as the "largest portable coaster".

I drove by the fairgrounds on monday, and can now confirm that it is the RC-48 coaster.
