Tacoboy, very interesting /amusing article Most of us on SGTs are CMs who make so little, yet bet there's not on of us who would not first get the needed legal permit for a "permanent" structure. Proves were the brains are. ]

The next article will have a headline with either ride collapses, kid(s) killed or mother of three electrocuted.

County officials say that a permit is needed for the 44-foot-tall coaster, something Mr. Stottlemyer says he was told he didn't need because Wildcat is not being built as a permanent structure. The coaster has no footings or foundations and is powered by a removable plug. County officials also say that the coaster was not included in a plan approved three years ago.

I am not a CM and do not remember much about the year of physics in college or my AA in science. I do wonder how it will last a week.

Is this guy serious?

$1 = 10 credits $5 = 50 credits $20 = 220 credits $100 = 1190 credits

Teacups are $2 and and bumper boats are $5.

Here is what I found out. It opened last year apparently and is 12 acres of stuff the owner has crammed into that small space while maintaining a wild west theme. It has bumper boats, go-karts, a carnival fun zone (not permanent good stuff like Knotts or Disney), miniature gold, paintball and an arcade.

Previously it was operated at
Busch Gardens Europe (Williamsburg, VA) 1976-1983 as Die Wildkatze

Playland Park (Rye, NY) (1984-1991)
Steel Pier (Atlantic City, NJ) (1991-2001
Williams Grove (Mechanicsburg, PA) (2001-2005)

As for safety, here is a couple reviews about the paintball field.

POLITICS: Who is in charge of the safety of the park? There is a major debate going on as to whether the county or state has jurisdiction of the park. The ride is a major point of contention because it was once a permanent ride in three other parks but the current owner says the ride is moveable and not fixed. MINE ALL MINE is another problem as the City of Newmarket wants to annex the property so they can get the taxes while the county is pissed off mad and is fighting the cities efforts.

If the city annexes the property then the park faces new tougher laws which may mean new city laws or exemption or possibly no more building for a long while. Have fun with the pictures and you decide if it is a portable ride or a permanant ride. At first it sounded like a safety issue but now seems to be a full blown political war with the little park getting hit from all sides.

Did this guy work for FEMA/Haliburton?

I'd say Haliburton

because if he worked for FEMA, he'd probably be opening a horse park or installing a steeplechase coaster
:p:

How does one removable plug power an entire coaster? How does a coaster have no footings?

I'm not familiar with Adventure Park. Is it particularly trashy?
