And the first circuit has been completed:

The park has one of the most unapologetic responses ever... ""It was on our operating calendar, but things are subject to change without notice and it was just a decision we had to make,""

MONTICELLO, Ind. (WLFI) - Indiana Beach in Monticello, Indiana is now closed for the season except to private functions and the Enjoy White County Festival on October 1, 2011.
The news the park would not remain open through the month of September came as a shock to some. WLFI received several complaints about the park's schedule on our Facebook page .
Don Stack owns a house on Lake Schafer, near Indiana Beach. He said his family is coming in this weekend and he had planned to take them to the park. Stack said it was an annual tradition, a family reunion. He said his brothers were coming into town from Texas and Oklahoma, but now, with the park closed, they will have to make alternative plans.
"We'll still get together and do things, with or without the amusement park," Stack said.
NewsChannel 18 contacted Indiana Beach Thursday to find out what was going on.
Bob Moser, president of Morgan RV Resorts which owns the park, spoke to us by phone. He said Indiana Beach typically closes on Labor Day weekend, however, when Morgan first purchased the amusement park in 2008, the company tried an extended season, but found it not to be profitable.
The park does remain open in September for private functions. Sherry Vogel, Director of Sales and Marketing for Indiana Beach, said the park will be open on October 1 for the Enjoy White County Festival .
She acknowledged the change in closing date this season.
"It was on our operating calendar, but things are subject to change without notice and it was just a decision we had to make," Vogel explained.
Moser told NewsChannel 18 Morgan RV Resorts is "very committed" to Indiana Beach and he alluded to future plans to improve the park next season, but did not want to elaborate. He said Morgan has invested more than $10 million to the park since the company bought it in 2008.
Moser denied the closure this season had anything to do with a protest earlier this summer by former employees. He said he plans to visit the park in the next several days. He added he will be meeting with city officials as well as the former employees.
Indiana Beach's Operating Calendar is posted on the park's website .

I recall a survey where Head First was an option as a ride name, also headfirstconcept is in the URL, not head first concepts.
You can even see the Six Flags Great America image on Head First Concepts Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Headfirst-Concepts/152718774740156?sk=app_139214322835657

I wouldn't dig too much into the domain.
CDN domains have the following format “zone.company.netdna-cdn.com”

Headfirstconepts is a marketing firm:
If you go to some of their client's facebook pages you can see the bizhost prefix in their domains.

If you type in http://leviathan.canadaswonderland.com/public/latest/blog/ it takes you to http://leviathan.canadaswonderland.com/public/latest/blog/2011/8/16/Birth_of_a_Leviathan.cfm; further confirming that it is the site.

Looks pretty fun and it seems like it will provide two slightly different ridding experiences depending on if you ride on the inside or outside, which is kinda sweet.
But is the ride going to be all white? What happened to the blue/yellow? I know that the picture of the train was colored.
From the fact sheet:
Light blue columnsYellow track
Deep blue trains with yellow accents

I am noticing in the new pics/blueprints, the comet is missing! The track for sooperdooperlooper and great bear is there but the classic comet's layout is gone! All that's left in there is white/emptiness where the comet goes.
Does this mean that the project was too big for the comet to stay?
It was removed to show the work that is going on. If the Comet was left on the map, then it would be too cluttered to be useful.

The source code has little more than a google analytics script. It's hard to call it similar to the other two, especially when the other two are so different themselves.
The line from the google analytics script contains the account id and it is the same for all three sites. The only difference between the sites is the site id number.
RIT: UA-21784032-1
LMB: UA-21784032-2
OPD: UA-21784032-3
Google analytics will throw an error if you use a site id that is not registered. So, all three websites are administered by the same group, therefore they are related and confirmed to be part of the "game".
