For those that do not know or care, the National Roller Coaster Museum just finished construction on a building. Yes I said they now have a building that will house the Musuem in Plainview, Texas on land donated by Larson International. Larson also donated the laber to have the building constructed. The entrance of the building is the old Entrance to the Texas Cyclone that ran at Astroworld. This is a step that I thought I would never see in my life but as time goes on there will be traveling exhibits and the ultimate goal is to build a larger Musuem.

Also not that one of the trains for the Texas Giant is on its way to this museum. But the biggest addition will be one of the original trains from the Big Bad Wolf, a track section, sign package and accompanying support materials for the NRCMA permanent collection.

I've been reading about this and while I am happy there is something finally started in the way of a museum, the final location certainly does not belong in Texas. The original manufacturers of coasters were located in OH, PA & NY (Dayton Amusement Co, Cincinnati Amusement Co, National Amusement Devices, PTC, Miller & Baker) not to mention the rich history of parks these states have. I'll take TX for now, but hopefully that won't be the permanent state. Just my 2¢

I think this will be one of many places to be honest with you. Can not blame them for having it there since they spent nothing at all to have it built plus the land was giving to them. It is atleast a start on something that I thought I would never see the light of day in my lifetime. Seems things have really moved since breaking away from ACE ande adding Key members to the board.
