although it is a sad time on the amusement scene with some amusement parks closing their doors such as wonderland and miracle strip amusement park to make way for factory units and trendy apartments i can't help but think that these parks would provide a good source of sustenance for the crumbling small parks here in the uk, imagine pleasurewood hills just buying all the equipment from miracle strip or lightwater valley getting all the wonderland rides (and selling on the duplicates to cover the costs of shipping them over, or maybe just going ah screw it lets have two pirate ships double the fun) it would definately help to pad the place out for a fraction of the cost of buying all that hardware individually and means even though the parks are forced into closing we don't have to loose the rides like the classic starliner with it's dragon tunnel

a bit of follow up to this earlier post, the rides from miracle strip parkare available as a package from rides4u.com, would make an interesting buy for any of our parks as they aren't standrad installations we get in the UK, but are quite "classic" american amusement park rides, some weird enclosed flat adapations going down too! Plus an arrow log flume, a morgan car track, would be interesting to see what the "haunted castle" was, anywho the starliner coaster looks mouthwatering and definately deserves to be saved
