When did the amusement park where Bukh & Gry showed their only automobile open?
Bukh &amp; Gry The Bukh & Gry was a Danish automobile manufactured in 1904. Its creators, Jens Bukh and John Gry., had both worked in the American automotive industry; together they built only one car, manufactured at Horve and shown at the Tivoli Gardens in Copenhagen in 1905. This model had a water-cooled 10/12 hp two-cylinder engine and friction drive; no further cars were built.
The Bat (Kings Island; opened 1981) The Bat was a suspended roller coaster located at Kings Island amusement park in Mason, Ohio. Designed by Arrow Development, the ride was billed as the first and only suspended roller coaster in the world when it opened to the public on April 26, 1981. The model took several years to develop and was considered a prototype by Arrow. Though the ride was very popular, it was plagued with mechanical problems and frequent closures that led to a short lifespan. The ride was permanently closed after just three seasons in 1983 and removed from the park the following year.
