Berkeley Springs - Unger, West Virginia - Biker Gal, Simpsons Roller Coaster George Farnham reports his Uniroyal Gal is being totally revamped. "Skirt and blouse are being removed and she is being transformed into a biker babe: leather skimpy outfit with leather gloves with the fingertips cut out and high heel leather boots, tattoos and a bandana. We already get so many bikers stopping by, but this will probably get us Rolling Thunder. A local artist is doing the honors. He talked to the people in Jersey who did the Uniroyal Gal [Nitro Girl] there last year and picked up some pointers."
For his recently acquired roller coaster, George has added Simpsons figures. "Bart was a challenge since he was sitting upside down in the movie theater display, but we right-sided him and tried to make it look like he was standing."
George hopes to have all his upgrades complete by mid-September. [Roadsideamerica.com Team, 08/02/2008]
