Our company was chosen to refurbish all
rides at Ghost Town in he Sky. Included in that
project was a looping coaster that had not ran in
more than five years. When we found that the major
components did not pass structural inspection. The
decision to design and fabricate a new train was
made. The new train matched the geometry of the
original equipment but exceeded all other aspects.
Our “Boxed Frame Construction” was far
stronger than the replaced parts but weighed 10%
less. Our redesigned wheel carrier was fabricated
from one solid piece of 4” steel. The billet
machined part is only 1 pound heavier but resolved
years of weld breaks that had occurred in the past.
