Kemah Boardwalk building wooden
coaster (DEC 7, 2006) The much-anticipated news is finally
official. Amusement Today has confirmed that The Landry's
Restaurant's-owned Kemah (Texas) Boardwalk is building a wooden coaster
for the 2007 season. The coaster will be
located on a tight footprint next to the Saltgrass Steak House. Kemah
plans for a late spring or early summer 2007 opening.
 The contractor overseeing the complete project is
Martin & Vleminckx Rides, LLC based in Haines City, Fla. The design
of the ride was completed by Cincinnati, Ohio based-The Gravity Group.
The yet to be named coaster will feature two, six-car trains (800 pph
capacity) from Philadelphia Toboggan Coaster Co. The ride's safety
system will be provided by Orlando's Entech. Bullock Smith &
Partners in Knoxville, Tenn. provided Kemah with conceptual and other
thematic drawings for the ride.
Concrete work for the ride's footings is underway and was contracted to Houston-based Bobcat Concrete. Erection of the ride's wooden structure by M&V is schedlued to begin next week.
The western-themed coaster will stand
96 feet tall, feature a first drop of 92 feet, reach speeds of 51 miles
per hour and travel a track layout of 3,236. But the most impressive
fact the coaster has is a result of its less than one-acre footprint
that results in the most number of track crossovers ever designed into
a wooden coaster. It will also feature several themed tunneled sections.
