He was completely serious as he was discussing with his compadre that Knotts was the only place left in SoCal with big coasters.

Bwahah! He must have heard this during the time when SF was up for sale, and there were rumors that this might happen...

The president of SFMM had told a bunch of us at a meeting that that rumor had a sticking power to it that has caused them some problems. It was one of those stories that just doesn't seem to go away and is one of the questions they get all the time...

The portion to that related to AZ is that SFMM sold all their coasters to Anaheisur Busch who was going to use them to build a park in Eloy, Az (half way between Phoenix and Tuscon).

Where is Tuscon?

scaeagles · 08-04-2008, 03:48 PM

100 miles or so south of the metro Phoenix area along interstate 10.

X2 is my dream coaster made real.

I got to ride the original setup with the wonderful man who designed it, Alan Schilke, and the story of it's original design and construction is amazing.

I knew that it where TUCSON is, but what about TUSCON?

I invented a special emote icon for a coworker because we didn't have one that truly fit the sentiment of many things I was thinking. It's this -

..!..

As close as I could come to expressing my thoughts, but it fits in this circumstance as well.

Then you are amazingly hard core and I bow to you. It's the only coaster I've ever been on that truly freaked me out. I'd love to hear that story, though, to try to understand a mind that could invent something so....so....X2.
