That would be a very good thing, and I don't see Cedar Fair or anybody else doing that kind of thing.  Thanks for doing that, I look forward to visiting those in the future. _________________ "It's a very special ride.

I know when ever my dad talks about Euclid Beach you can tell the sadness he still feel even almost 40 years later. I never thought I would have to be like him and only have the memories of my park that I grew up with and to share with my kids.... _________________ Life is like a rollercoaster.

However, as soon as they start cutting up BD, I could imagine a ten or twelve foot bridge in my yard surrounded by a flower bed.

I lie that you are giving people a chance to hold on to a piece of the park that we loved and now lost! Will you let us know when the pieces will be ready to sell? I would really like to get a piece for my oldest son for Christmas because that was his first coaster! My youngest sons was the Blue Streak at Conneaut Lake park. I feel it is sad that theya can't share the fun with their kids in the future! _________________ Life is like a rollercoaster. It is full of ups and downs!

TheParkB: That's a much better idea than the one I had, and doesn't require reinforcing an entire wall to hang up.  If you want to get together on 1 or 2 of the frames, I can do that, but I think more of the wood should go towards your project.

I don't know.  I know when they tore down my aunt's high school they sold bricks from the exterior walls for $25.  Paver bricks from historical places often sell $25 - $50. I just don't know if I'd be interested in a sliver of 20-year old wood for that much money - of course, once I see it I'm sure I'll change my mind. I *love* to get a 4" x 4" x 40" or something beam that I could have planed and cut into a frame for the Bobs advertising poster I have though.  Heh. _________________ Positions Held: Ancillary: Front Gate Photo (Cameras In Action) Games - Arcades/Coin Op Ancillary: Antique Photo (Kamman's Art Shoppes) Big Dipper Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BNMH9Z8NMFc

I've got a copy of the original 1988 "The Legend of Terror Returns" poster.  Just had it framed in a brushed aluminum frame (looks amazing) but would love to see it in a wood frame - especially one made from the actual frame. Also have a framed and matted copy of the huge 1978/9 park map and one of the "Adventure" poster announcing the opening of Boardwalk Shores (my favorite) down there. I'm saving up already for when the Dipper wood ends up on eBay. _________________ Positions Held: Ancillary: Front Gate Photo (Cameras In Action) Games - Arcades/Coin Op Ancillary: Antique Photo (Kamman's Art Shoppes) Big Dipper Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BNMH9Z8NMFc
