New legal filings in the ongoing lawsuit over the historic 1902 Leap-the-Dips roller coaster at Lakemont Park indicate a deepening dispute between Lakemont Partnership and Blair County over maintenance responsibilities and lease agreements. While Lakemont Partnership claims the county failed to maintain the ride and denies threats to sell it, the county argues that the partnership violated its lease by failing to preserve the temporarily idled coaster. A settlement conference is scheduled for tomorrow at the Blair County Courthouse.
