- Hey,
-
- Having just returned form a trip to Dorney Park, I was reminded
- of a park I used to attend as a child and was wondering if anyone else
- had been there, and more importantly, if they knew anything about
- the coaster which used to reside there. The park was located on the shores
- of Lake Hopatcong, NJ and was called Betrand's Island. The coaster was
- wooden and quite old even when I was a child. I'm afraid that is all I
- remember of it, since I was no more than 12 when I was last there. The park
- is closed now and I am unsure as to whether it was ever torn down or not.
- Anyway, thanks for any info you can provide, this was the first coaster I
- was ever on, and even though I despised it at the time, I am curious as to
- exactly what it was I rode.
-
-
- Thanks,
-
-
- Scott.
