Was just checking if Wicker Man had a 4K release and discovered this. The Wicker Man roller coaster(!) at Alton Towers in the UK. A definite stop on my next trip over. #wickerman@horror#rollercoasters
Scamper was a wooden wild mouse ride that operated at @cedarpoint from 1962 to 1969. While today's wild mouse rides boast larger cars, these older wild mouse coasters were built to only seat 2 people.
Today the site of Scamper at Cedar Point is home to their Matterhorn ride.
Scamper did have a short life outside of Ohio - she was shipped to @Dollywood after removal where she operated until 1972.
Not a lot of love lost here, but Psyclone was a Dinn Corporation-built wooden roller coaster that operated at @SFMagicMountain from 1991 to 2006. Part of the "record breaking wooden coaster craze" of the 1990s, the coaster pushed riders to the limit, with up to 3.0 in G-forces in parts of the ride.
Her trains were designed by B&M, the only wooden roller coaster to ever receive trains from them.
Big Dipper at Geauga Lake was a John A. Miller designed wooden roller coaster that operated at the park from 1925 to the park's closure in 2007. The out-and-back coaster reached topped heights of 62 feet and top speeds of 35 MPH.
The coaster sat abandoned until it was finally torn down in 2016. It's a shame it wasn't able to be relocated.
