I know he was looking at a few coasters, and at one point GCI designed a wood coaster for Old Town. He balked at the multi million dollar price tag required for a new Vekoma. John was a great value shopper-- paying only a few thousand dollars for the first paratrooper. I'm betting he got a great firesale price on the spinning coaster!Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03937388219941813860noreply@blogger.com
