There's really no need for those slides anymore, and that's probably why there aren't any.

Damn, the site is much bigger than I originally thought, it's huge! After looking at those pics, I would be very surprised if this is anything other than a coaster.

This issue with the restraint is very minor one. If there was a big failure, then you would have seen all the other ride's in the world with these restraints allready closed down until further notice. This has not happened, and therefore it makes me think that somebody at PA has just done something stupid with it.

Only speculation on the Zierer part. I thought of it since the park bought a pretty expensive flat from Zierer for this season, so maybe they have been looking at some coaster concepts from them as well. If you look at the park's other four coaster they have been choosing a new manufacturer for every one of them, so there is really no pattern to follow for speculation. A tower launch would be a great choice for the park IMO, but it's just speculation.

I have not ridden Wicked, but it's pretty fun from what I heard. A tower launch coaster, with more of a eurofighter layout, like DDD, after the tower would be cool, and a first in Europe, making for easy advertisement. If not one of those I hope they work with Intamin again. Edit, spellcheck.

The launch cable is being swapped out today, so hopefully the ride will be back open soon.

I also heard that the launch cable snapped, with no injuries.

I'm really hoping for a Zierer Tower Launch coaster here, or something Cheetah Huntish. It would be so Wicked if they put in another big coaster already. It's probably something else tough, but another coaster is defiantly needed for the park, as they get some insane crowds in the summer. Time will tell.

Seeing as this happened on one of them, they don't do so well..

Is there a rumored announcement date?

Are the slides made by Splashtactular?

Think of drop towers, they get better the higher they are. IMO it's the same with Star Flyer's. Tivoli's one scares the hell out of me, and I would love to try this one!

Is there anyone else than me that really love the name Iron Rattler?

The rumor says the Star Flyer will come in 2014, witch actually makes perfect sense. Why open two Star Flyers this year that will share the record? It's smarter to open the tallest one in Texas this year, so that they can advertise it the tallest in the world, and next year open another one that is a few feet taller so that they can use the same advertising on that one as well. Or they are just spreading out the investments.

This looks amazing as expected. I'm calling it now that this will probably outdo New Texas Giant!

This one looks really awesome, would love for something like this here in Sweden. It's really nice to see that Premier is stepping away from the traditional launch coasters with there two recent installations.

The track has arrived! Looks very similar to I305, except the support track is triangle, instead of square. Hopefully vertical construction has started for TPR's visit!

This looks very interesting! Can't wait to see some of the vehicles for this.

Would this fit in Rollersoaker's footprint? Seems like one of these, in a 6 or 8-lane version would be great both for capacity, and be different from existing slides.

Is this the first Fantawild park that has installed rides that are not Chinese knock offs?

Ahh, I see. I just looked at the renderings of the rolls, showing 4 seat cars, but 2 seats cars sound much more awesome!

No, they went with 4-seat trains.

AWESOME! One of my favorite park is getting something big But you might wanna edit you're post to say 2013

Easy choices!

Riddlers already has 5 inversions, 6 if you count the inclined loop. Doing what you propose would be so expensive they might as well build a completely new coaster. I'm pretty sure he only mean new trains for Riddler.
