Sounds good to me. It is my understanding that the bug will take 42k to fix. This is because several parts need to be manufactured. To accomplish
this a tool and die shop must create 3 new casting molds. I got this information from a high ranking CLP board member. One of the advantages of
being a Bluestreak Challenge rider this year. I would love to be able to help get the bug running again in the next year or so. I will need to
further investigate this. I might just be able to obtain a shopping list for our little Chippewa trip.  Oh, I also forgot to mention the cost factor involved in running this ride as well. It seems that the motor
bearings need to be replaced every year as this is a very heavy ride. The cost and labor involved in that process is great as you can imagine.

Hmm, if only I could find what parts are needed then a nighttime raid on Chippewa lake. Who is with me. Oh wait, I might need a 55 gallon drum of
wd40. But it would be worth it.

It's a shame that Chippewa lake probably has everything they would need as far as parts , but I guess nothing is ever going to be used from that
park !

From what I understand... The Bug is going to cost some major dollars to bring it back to life... I guess parts need to be machined because you
can't buy em anymore.

Matt , the cruise was nice . We ate at the Conneaut Hotel , walked around the park . I was supprised to see the bug and swing not in working order !
They are dissasembled hopefully waiting for parts but it doesn't look good , if you know what I mean .

Well, after searching, I have concluded that no one is able to make it tonight... maybe we'll shoot for next saturday night if the weather is
decent.
