"1986 INTAMIN LOOPING STARSHIP, Pirate theme, AB controls PARK EX USA US$ 200,000" I found this while looking for AstroWorld stuff. Sounds like the Frenzoid!

Yea,
I'm curious as to what they did with it. Did they melt it down, sale it or just put it in the bone yard?

Maybe it's resting beside the Queen?

But, did the Frenzoid have a pirate theme? ;-)

Yes, <a href='http://www.pkiasylum.com/carowindszone/photos/frenzoid.JPG' target='_blank'>The Pirate Skull on the back.</a> I could have seen Frenzoid being themed to Blackbeard, or Queen Anne's Revenge.

That sounds a lot like Frenzoid.

I'm glad (if that's the case) that it wasn't scrapped. Maybe it will show up at another park some day.

Don't get me wrong, looping starships are not my favorite flat, but they are fun every now and then.

^ I believe there was one on the back of it. And it does look like a pirate ship, er...attached to a big green beam above it...uh..yeah.

Of course the lovely lady of the seas was on the front. ;)

That isn't our Skycoaster, ours is a 150 feet, double.

That'd be the perfect area for it. Take out the Rapids while you're at it :)

Or put it out there beside TR! That parking area is just begging to be used up.

I would hate to lose a water ride, I think we need another water ride to ease the lines during the summer.
