(Arnolds Park)– Crews re-building a section of the Legend Roller Coaster at the Arnolds Park Amusement Park continue to make good progress thanks to the favorable weather. Arnolds Park CEO Jon Pausley says a lot has been accomplished in recent weeks…
“It’s been fun to watch the progress. It’s amazing to see how much you lost of the landscape. You’re used to seeing the rollercoaster there and when it’s not there you really miss it, so. The crews are going great. We have reinforced the ground underneath the coaster with new concrete to make sure everything’s on stable ground there. It’s more of a track of concrete rather than just piers. You’ll see the first curve, that happens on Lake Street, is all re-built with the wood and then they’re moving over to the lift hill next, and then they’re hopefully going to, even before the snow flies, add track in December.”
Pausley says most of the lift hill is actually constructed already and just needs to be lifted into place with a crane. Great Coasters out of Pennsylvania, the same company that did the first phase of the restoration, is also doing this part of the work.
Pausley also reminds everyone passes for the 2023 season at Arnolds Park will be going on sale soon.
