So where they put it now? Could it possibly still be up by opening day? $33,000 is a good deal. with this and Chang in 2011 we will have 2 more rides added to our collection.
As I keep thinking about this I keep picturing Little Dipper by American eagle where Splash water Falls died in 2007 and just get rid of go karts and GAR altogether.
They will definitley not be getting rid of GAR as they just bought Kiddielands cars. A lot of Bugs Bunny National Park was SBNO last year I would think that is where its going.
^ I was wondering if SFGAm was going to try to get most (if not all) of the cars from Kiddieland, as they are (from what I can tell) the exact same ones.
Wha?!! Why is Sharpiro finally pampering our park with everything we want? This is so unfair!
(sings)If you want to be my Chang-y, doesn 't matter if your black or white, or brown, or blue, or green, or red, or orange, or mauve, or yellow... 2010 trips- Dollywood, SFGAm, maybe SoCal
This is such a brilliant move by SFGAm. A fairly inexpensive purchase that will fit perfectly inside our park. These kiddie woodies are excellent first coasters for the kids that the parents like riding too. I'd agree that Bugs Bunny National Park is fairly large and could really use a re-spiff in the first place, so that'd be a great place for this coaster to go.
I'm so happy about this move. So smart.

Anything that involves spending money has to clear Shapiro first. He probably allocated a certain amount and sent them out to bid and hope for the best.
Getting Little Dipper and the gas cars is a big plus for SFGAm.
I finally retired the Sarah Palin signature because she is now 100% irrelevant.
This is Shapiro's first (in my opinion!) good selection for a "new" ride for the park.
And you can really thank him for this as he's the one who wanted it. He grew up in the area, going to the park, so it has some sentimantal value to him. That's most likely another reason why he wants it to stay in the Chicago land area.
Very good decision...should be quite a welcome addition.
