"Why, I just shake the buildings out of my sleeves." - Frank Lloyd Wright

When building the new coaster it became clear that the Robbie house was not going to meet the needs as a ride station so it has been moved to a new area of the park and in it's place on Main Street creativity was put to work on a building that could house a coaster station and some stalls.

Inspired in part by Taliesin in Wisconsin but primarily an original design that was built around the needs of the location.

The ride station, queue lines, paths and stall locations were planned then the building was planned to house them all.

This tower was added after the building was actually completed.  It seemed to lack character so I went back to some Frank Lloyd Wright sites and found the inspiration form Taliesin East.  This is the only feature on the building directly inspired by an actual FLW building.

From the top of the Price Tower you can see the coaster twisting its way along the land and through the trees.

Above the ride station there are a few stalls arranged in the same way as other cafeterias and food courts in the park.

The front facade shows the balconies and terraces.

Another view of the tower.

Pedestrian walkways under the track take people into the food court area through a tunnel inside the hill.  The coaster passes through the hills and back into the station.

The first drop into the hillside.

The coaster train returns to the station through the final tunnel.
