Im going to have to go with Kraken. Every part of that ride is just a blast from the first drop to the last corkscrew. Its the best

Got it, sorry for sounding stupid. I just didnt know if there was liscensing or whatever issues that would hinder it from being called "Hard Rock Park" in formal ways (news, papers etc)

I dont know, I dont know if there is liscensing issues or something like that. I just know that Hard Rock International disassociated themselves with the park, and I dont know if that means anything more than its no longer HRP.

From what I understand the information was shared to a select group of people behind closed doors. B&M has had these kinds of meetings at IAAPA in the past. That is how they showed the Flying coaster concept to Six Flags at IAAPA in 2000. They saw it during the presentation and signed the contract the next day for Superman at SFOG. Fantastic. I am impatient and I just want to learn what it is now!!! If B&M did in fact release this new design, would it be a standup to Darien Lake? According to rcdb its an intamin coming from six flags astroworld, is this a misunderstanding? Or could it in fact we some new design, like a stand up invert haha, or maybe you just get to ride the b&m ball.

Obviously captain know-it-all haha. But what about when news and magazines and papers and such report on it...can they still call it "hard rock park"? That was really my question

I cannot seem to find it on screamscape, but maybe someone here knows what Im talking about. Probably 2 or 3 weeks before the IAAPA this year, screamscape reported that B&M would possibly release a new kind of coaster at the event. Unfortunantly the topic was never mentioned again and nother happened at IAAPA to my knowledge. Does anyone remember this article I am talking about? and do you think possibly this could in fact be the new coaster type screamscape was reporting?

I really dont think this park could have opened its doors at more of a worse time. There is just no way the company can get through the growing pains of starting a business (as well as maximum rpm!) in this market. Perhaps investment firms are holding out until the park hits absolute rock bottom in price, but even still borrowing money right now is quite the task, yet alone millions of dollars of lone. Its just dissapointing to see a park like this and themed so fun as this go belly up in a matter of months. What is the park called now the Hard Rock has officially pulled the name?

Yes, it was the first piece past the mcbr, the first drop piece. If you scroll down to the December 12 update you can see them hanging the final piece. http://www.johnnyupsidedown.com/manta7.html

As much as I want cards to get the win, and as much as I dont want them to win, this has been the most unpredictable season ever. Think about it, every team has had strong moments (sorry lions, that doesnt include you), and every team has had down moments. So this season alone should be enough reason to not write the cards out. Also last year, patriots were definitely favored to get the win, and the giants came out on top. Itll be a fun game though thats for sure

Ok, I have a question. Im confused to whether they would test with the water or not. The splashdown definitely slows the trains down to a more appropriate speed into the brake run and if theyre testing it, wouldnt they want it to be testing real conditions? Or is initial testing ok to run at those higher speeds?

Cant wait for this ride either, even though its a little shorter and smaller looking than say tatsu, I think the elements and the splashdown will add so much to this ride. I literally cannot wait to visit orland for this and HRRR.

I cant wait!!! It looks so floaty, and smooth and awesome

Thanks for asking this question! Ive been asking myself that same exact question for some time now and its great to finally have an answer!

Im going to be a non conformist and go with top gun. They are well themed to the actual artwork found on planes and they are cool looking! I think the real question should be, is there such thing as ugly B&M?

That looks like a blast to ride!!! are you going to theme it?

does it 270 spiral on the way down? I cant really tell from the pics, looks like a sweet ride though!!!

I dont know whether to be excited or not. Im excited its a new coaster somewhere that looks like its going to run loops in itself, but im not excited that I dont know where its going. cant wait to find out though and whoever took those pictures I would love to see the rest!
