Gwazi is the only defunct coaster I've ridden. I was about 6 at the time, and I believe it was still running with PTCs, I would of gotten two credits but the other side was closed for "renovations".

Ok but how desperate you have to be to voluntarily fly from another country to go to Thorpe?

^Yes, that is correct. Butler Amusements often purchases multiples of their more popular rides as they often operate at 2-3 events simultaneously, so in 2005 they purchased two Fabbri spinning coasters and operated them as Pole Position. However, as most events will only have one major roller coaster and Butler Amusements owned five at the time (the two Pole Positions and three Zyklon coasters operating under different names), they decided to sell one of the spinners as it was still relatively new and they could get a good price for it. Castle Amusement Park picked it up as they were already looking for a spinning coaster, but unfortunately the ride has proved problematic.

I've actually ridden both of the original Pole Position coasters, and the one still owned by Butler Amusements runs better than Screamin' Demon did. Coincidentally, those are the only two Fabbri coasters in the US.
