Untill nobody overbids your bidding

Hah! That would hella suck.

hahaha, be funny if you bid like ?????????50,000 and it didn't get outbid, I'd certainly laugh at you.

People seem to be thinking this is going to raise a huge sum of money...? why? I seriously doubt it will. How many members of the general public will be interested in it do you think? Not many I wouldn't have said. So we've narrowed it down to coaster enthusiasts.... how many of us are rich? Well, I know I'm not!

me neither [:(]

I'm betting it will go to one of those amusement museums who have money.

Its already at ?????????620 right now.

I was trying to find it but I cant. Anyone got the link to it?

Wow, that is already way over priced. You could make your own for about ?????????300 and make it look pretty much the same. But seeing as it is Europes first corkscrew coaster.

^ ????????

I REALLY don't understand, care to explain?
