The gavel came down and The Big Dipper, Geauga Lake amusement park’s centerpiece roller coaster, went for $5,000 to Apex Western Machinery Movers of Akron.
But the story doesn’t end there. Apex’s Tom Woosnam said he was bidding for a buyer whose name he would not disclose.
"We move machines, we don’t buy them. The buyer intends to move the coaster. It will be re-erected but not as a ride, but as a nostalgia piece," Woosnam said
