thanks all!
i injured my back last week moving one of my rollermatics, i can barely move! talk about painful! today is the first day i can walk without pain shooting up my body! those rollermatics will be the death of me yet!
anyway as for lake compounce i would love to visit this summer if i can find time and money. their old coaster, the wildcat was built in 1927, one year after the designer, herb schmeck of the philladelphia tobbagon co. built a very similiar ride at coney island, cincinnati. it was also called the wildcat and i have many pics of it on my facebook page.
i never got to ride the wildcat as they removed it at the end of the 1964 season. so at the same time the rollermatic was coming in and hobart was introducing the 4 way hydrosweep on the kd-15 my favorite childhood coaster was being torn out!
i regret never riding it to this day and when i die i hope to see it again! that's how much that stupid coaster meant to me! so if i can i want to visit lake compounce and ride their wildcat as it is very similiar in design and built by the same man who in my opinion made the best coasters of the 20's. so if i can save the money and take a few days off i really want to make it to connecticut. guess i'll drive, i don't like flying, afraid to fly actually!
enough sermon on that!
back to the dishwasher above, thanks for the comments and kevin i will check my e mail tonite. thanks again!
