I am 99% sure this equipment is from Buskhill Park in Easton PA.
very sad story, the park is not going to reopen this year. Major tax problems, bad finances, flooded several times in the past few years.
It is an old park (100? maybe) so it is sad to see this happen. I believe the ebay listings are from the guys who tried to make a go of it last year and couldn't overcome the financial problems that they inherited.

There is a ref. on the site to Buskhill.

It doesn't look that bad. The cars may be faded, can't tell, but it has the new style sweeps that I never noticed before.

I haven't been to Bushkill park in years but it is ashame if it is going out of bussiness. Eastern Pennsylvania is losing all its small parks.
It is what you learn, after you know it all, that counts.

That may go cheap and for a few dollars can be good piece. I would have reservations about buying it with out looking at it first unless I could get real cheap.

Nope, it was worth more as scrap. Chickenman has one for sale, like new.

Those are not a new style sweep. That ride was a jump originally but someone has removed the fiberglass ramps and the 6x3 wheels from the sweeps. It is also not the "new style" Hampton as it claims. Has old style control box, our bird cage changed around 2000, and our rib ends have been machined from aluminum since 1994 those are steel.

Visit www.bushkillpark.org , and I think it will become clear what the whole story is there. Unfortunate, another old classic park stuck in limbo, it appears.
