Once upon a time, a rabid coaster enthusiast lived here in the town of Santa Claus.

He never missed a trick. He loved to ask me about things before I even knew about them

He moved away a few years ago for career reasons, but I thought of him the other week.

...and wondered how I could have possibly kept this a secret from him.

Our friends at The Gravity Group asked to "borrow" our coaster track to test the prototype of the new wooden coaster train they're designing.

The testing went remarkably well and the train is now back in Cincinnati. We put our PTC trains back on the tracks for another season.

...but it sure was fun to take a tiny part in what Will referred to as "quite possibly a piece of roller coaster history."
