I'm not sure if the big Dipper even had any footers here or if they just laid the track on the ground?

Need some chain?  The links are all rusted and are in long and quite heavy sections.  I ended up with a link for myself...I need to get the rust sandblasted off of it and I want to have the coaster's name and dates of operation etched into it.

The lift hill still has it's chain and anti-rollback still in place but the clearance with the trees is a bit tight.  The building to the left is for the lift motor which is still there.

These are the drive gears for the lift.
