Sorry your post did not trigger more responses. That cowboy was an eye full. I would be willing to put him back to work in my living room. He would stay unharmed and in good condition till the day comes when I can move back to the area. I visit the park every trip back home. I would be happy to talk money. I would make shipping plans from New Bedford. lets talk

I can put that Cowboy back to work at a mini golf course directly across the street from the main entrance to Santa’s Village. Gordon 508-944-4839 or 888-586-4449

i think its a shame that not only the roller coaster sat there and rotted, but even the whole fact that the park closed. I believe its because of poor management, rides not being maintained, and them being sued,but I’ve had some great memories there, and went on the comet numerous times. I remember going on the comet like ten times in a row, and also going on the jr comet. I’ve got the video and the book, I’ve also took personal pics of me and my nephews sitting in the comet cars back in 1998, before they were demolished. I’m about to make a model of the comet and also have it running, I’ll put it on youtube when its done and send the comet fans my email, well so long comet fans and lincoln park fans

This is fascinating information. I love riding the Thunderbolt at Six Flags as well as when it was still Riverside (still have a Riverside Sticker around somewhere). I had no idea it was “related” to the Comet. It will gain all new respect from me when I ride it this summer.

Now to make it to the Cyclone!

This page is awesome, Pete! I enjoyed looking at this photo in the hard cover version of Lincoln Park: remembered. I may have to do a new video tour with all this information handy.

I’d forgotten about the interior support until I started looking through my photos from the fall. So, it makes perfect sense about most of it falling inward.

It really was in horrible shape. I was amazed that the back was still standing. It was so tall. I’m surprised the roof of the station fell before that did. They fell a year apart. Creepy. How much is going to fall next May? I don’t even want to think about it.

Can’t say i’m supprised. That section was suffering from a lot of rot on the footings. The uprights were bareley hanging on last fall.

The fact that it ‘fell in on itself’ is not supprising also. The internal guy wires were still in fairly good condition, and extended up midway, and to the top of the section. Thus holding the structure from splaying out, and holding it in towards the center.
