The rocket slide that originally stood in Kilbourne Park, Keokuk, IA has finally arrived in Cedarburg, WI. The fiberglass slide and cone were left in Iowa at Barnes Body Repair for refurbishing.
Some of the pipes were removed to make it lighter -- at first, the fork lift couldn't lift it off the flat bed. It will be mostly disassembled, sand blasted, regalvanized and/or painted, and finally reassembled, most likely in Belguim, WI since Cedarburg won't let me put it up :-(
So it's not coming back to Keokuk at all then? No offense, but it doesn't really seem fair that it was sold to someone so far away. I would have preferred to see it stay in town or at least local.
