Any one shed any light, lots of rumours circulating net that someone in Uk has just bought one of the Original Looping stars, and that it's being stripped down to be shipped back to the uk.

I swear i read somewhere, dunno if it was here, facebook or the newsletter that there would be a suprise return of a ride from the bembom era... can anyone confirm this? If they brought any ride from that time olit would have to be the looping star or big wheel! :)

I may be remembering incorrectly, but the Big Wheel's location I think is known, but it's been disassembled and stored outside for a really long time.
I can't recall exactly, but it's either in a field rusting, or on a dock rusting.

The big wheel is up and running in a park (I think it's South America). It's branded Samsung.
