Does anyone think that the Chippewa Lake Tumble Bug could be saved and brought to KI or CP?Maybe even Coney Island or Strickers Grove?Could the Tumble Bugs make a come back,they could improve by making it faster,less noiseir,and less running cost.Tumble bugs look fun and they need to come back!The one at Chippewa is in very bad shape.

    The Tumble Bug was a great ride. I think Kennywood still has one called the Turtle. it could hold 6-8 riders depending on your size. i doubt they are built anymore and I was bummed KI took it out. I can only guess it was a maintenance issue because it had a good hourly capacity and was a lot of fun. I would hope but rather doubt CF would remake Coney into like an Old Kennywood. Old style rides that could make guests that never got to Coney a taste of what an really fine old amusment park could offer. while were on a subject of old rides, did anyone ever ride the Cuddle Up? That was really fun. Like a Tea Cup on acid. It went to KI and I was just as bummed when that was removed. At CI..there were 3 rides under a roofed structure across fron the Shooting Star. The Whip, Cuddle up and Dodgem. the Whip was a little tame but the Cuddle up really was fun. We need some new/old rides like that back in the Coney area. Ok yeah don't forget the Scooters as well.

    I've always wanted to ride a Tumble Bug. I'm a bit of a fan of Traver. It's sad to see so few in existence nowadays.

    If there's one thing I can't stand, it's classics being removed.

    Whether it's hard mantinence or new rides taking it's place.

    Ohh...

    Could we possibly be talking about The Racer? Naw....

    That really does suck. It seems like park management thinks the best method of expanding is tearing down the old.
