On March 19, 2006 the Beech Bend Park and the Midwest Region of American
Coaster Enthusiasts hosted a construction tour of the new for 2006
Kentucky Rumbler roller coaster
Clair Hain the President of
Great Coasters International is on the far right while GCI's chief designer
Jeff Pike is on the left with the staff and management of Beech Bend
including park owner Dallas Jones, Beech Bend's head of maintenance
(Sorry I forgot your name), Charlotte Gonzales and another Beech Bend
staff member in between.
Without Saturday's sun it was pretty
chilly so Jeff Pike had a cup of Starbucks to keep him warm as he led
half of the group of enthusiasts on a tour under, on and around his
creation.
There is a lot of track squeezed
into the Kentucky Rumbler's acre and a half of real estate.
