    Depending on how the cost of lumber goes in the next decade, the price for disassembling Gold Striker and moving it may end up being a deal.

      Looks like they’re starting to fall, along with oil and steel. We’ll see and there’s no way to really know but if lumber prices double again, you could be absolutely right. But it looks like home builders are slowing down, oil prices should be dipping below 100 next month, should help out the market

    Vortex (now Patriot) was the first looping coaster I ever rode.

    (imitated Willy Wonka): The whole Wave Swingers of Beauties of the swing rides of beauties of the attractions with the Gallery of Beauties on them all at between fairgrounds and amusement parks of the whole countries from around the world with all of them. I want you to bring them all. (to myself): But Jimmy, don't forget what happened to Joseph Karl Stieler who suddenly got everything he always wanted. He lived happily ever after.

    As with a lot of predictors, you're greatly underestimating the cost of lumber right now.

      100%, but looks like we’re seeing prices start to go in the opposite direction. I’d imagine when oil prices and other commodities start to fall in a post - Russia/Ukraine war we could see lumber stabilize. Depending on location, it’s gotta be super expensive to transport the wood

      Do you think (lets say 2 years from now) lumber / other commodities will be this high? Let’s also not forget steel is way up too

      @@coasterking836 I think most commodities are not going down any time soon

      Gotcha, I think lumber is down 50% this year or so, you think it’ll go back up?
