... oh gosh and what do you think of this collapse? I'm like... woodies should never exist to be jelly! The video showing its demise did make me sad.

:(

From this article: http://www.coaster101.com/2015/12/16/ozark-wildcat-wooden-roller-coaster-collapses-torn-down/
-- I was happy to be with NL1. --

Personal coaster count as of 3/2025 -- 222
"500" perhaps by the end of this year.
I will be a Thai citizen if possible in a few years.

It's always such a shame to see a woody being torn down. I do love to see how much it can flex before it actually breaks!

I was pretty impressed too with how hard they had to pull it.

Yeah it's pretty impressive how tough wooden structures like that can be!

I drove by it on the way to SDC. It would've been great if they could have moved it to SDC, but this was inevitable. Sucks to see a coaster like this go. I heard it was one of the best GCI's at its time.

I rode Ozark Wildcat back when I was 7, so I don't remember much about it, but it was a very fun ride. It's too bad they couldn't have saved it in some way.

What a waist. I never saw this up for sale or even an attempt to unload it to anyone willing to take it.
