   Quite an amazing photo right there (the roller coaster). Anyone know the location and date?

   Just imagine if that had happened this week in Atlantic City, Ocean City, Wildwood, Seaside Heights, Coney Island, etc. The photo would definitely become the poster-boy for Global Warming forever.

     Kings Island in Cincinnati would be my guess.

       Thanks.

       It is slide 10 on the link that slp provided.

       Ironically this park is also called Coney Island. Wikipedia says …

       In time for the opening on June 21, 1886, the name was officially changed to “Ohio Grove, The Coney Island of the West” in an effort to link the park with the famous New York destination.

         I think it is now called King’s Island.
