Just thought people might like to view these sad articles regarding a historic US 1912 wooden coaster famously linked to being Elvis Presley's favourite coaster. Luckily I got to ride it back in 2005 with an American enthusiast group called RideWorld; I thought it was a great little ride for its time and rerode it many times. I remember taking a shot of the plaque outside with the Elvis tribute scroll on it thinking that it could well be my last opportunity to ride this gem. Sadly that could now be true from the item links below.

Let's hope someone can salvage the attraction - rumoured to have a Wisconsin interest. Surely the Elvis link would be highly credible; shame it would no longer reside in his former homeland though.
