Just spotted in an industry magazine a big advert for James Mellor's Space Roller (Top Scan). They must have only had it a couple of seasons so I wonder why they are selling it. Are they having technical issues with it or have they got something new and exciting lined up and need to off load some of their other capital. I had read over a year ago they were looking to buy a new travelling coaster, any one know more.

That will take one big travailing for a sky coaster as if I am correct American Adventures was 180 ft.

He only planned to have the ride for a few years until he could get some bigger and better things.  From what i have heard from a very good source is that it has had no major problems, except the usual ones assosciated with the precise need for alignment in lowering the rides structure.

Cheers for the info guys. Which coaster did he buy from AA. Surely he's not going to travel with the Buffalo Coaster?  Laughing
