On the bright side, I am an ACE member (American Coaster Enthusiasts www.aceonline.org), and the preservation conference next summer is at Little A-Merrick-A .. needless to say I will be asking about their plans to do the replica (they did a full site survey about 10 years back) ... and have the trains too ..... so yes still here :) yep still here…. stilll keeping an eye on things (though not as closely as I did)

I just started up my college career at Umass Dartmouth. I discovered the park one day when I was driving down route 6 because I saw that I thought was a wooden coaster. Me, being the history interested person I am, wanted to look into it more so I drove around to find a way in. Luckily the back gate was open and I was in. I became fascinated with what is left of the park. At first I had no clue of the history behind it, but my friend told me his mom use to go here when she was younger. I have literally gone on every page on this site, looked through the whole Flickr gallery, and gained so much knowledge that I have fallen in love with it now, and what it use to be. I can provide you with more recent pictures if you would like. To give a brief, but sad update, another part of the comet has collapsed. The hill, that is after the turn above the station, next to the parking lot, has collapsed. I am guessing it did when the small hurricane ripped through here a couple months ago. If I had the money to, I would restore this park in a heartbeat. If you could please contact me by email or phone, I would appreciate it. Email - mkernz22@aim.com or cell phone - 774-222-0994. Thanks, Mike Hey Pete,
