I am in LOVE with their new website re-design!
I REALLY hope other Cedar Fair parks go with that design, or a similar one. It's defiantly a MUCH needed upgrade to many of their sites. As they look very "old" and useless. I am happy to see switches.

It really looks to be an amazing ride. The duration is quite short, but, you can always hop back in line and ride it a few more times!

Wild Mouse, at Hersheypark.
-
I actually think we won't see anything large, like a coaster until 2014. Maybe even 2015(at the latest)
-
Two reasons,
First, To guide the crown piece in.
Second, for the workers to stand on when the crown is coming into place and being installed due to lack of trucks to get all them up.
-
Looking at it, and the track that's in the airfield. I would say just like I305's does.
-
I agree, if they want something bad enough, they'll find a way no doubt.
-
Cedar Point is DEFINITELY due for a new coaster. It's been since 2007, right?

I just went to the site(yes, again) to get an update for All-American Thrills, but, they weren't working!
Time is VERY short since the crane goes to the PPL building in Harrisburg at the end of January. Everything was in the exact same place as it was yesterday when I was there. A shame they weren't working considering the BEAUTIFUL weather today. And they worked last Sunday.
-
Awesome!
I can't wait to see an actual in-motion video of the train going!
-
I have to disagree 100% of the lift being an eye sore. The lift, and entire ride is just beautiful. The way the track glistens off the sun. It's really beautiful in person.
-
I do agree, seems like a B&M version of Mellinum Force. The only concern I have of this ride is clearly seeing trim brakes being used. :/

Dollywood has posted a brand new "Egg to Eagle" update!
This has been an exciting week to kick off the new year! 2012 is going to be epic - a season at Dollywood that you do not want to miss.The announcement this week of North America’s Largest Steel Eagle has created quite a bit of excitement. I think we should stop (just for a split second) and think about it…
A huge structure, the biggest of its kind in North America is being custom built to live at Dollywood and welcome guests to North America’s First ever steel wing coaster. Not to mention that the wing coasters manufacturer is non-other than B & M. (Epic seems like a good choice of words!)
As we continue to get closer to earning our wings – take a look at how Wild Eagle’s load station is progressing. Just another milestone in Dollywood Wild Eagle history…
“Fly on the Edge”
ADMIN EDIT: I went ahead and edited the post to include the story and photos that accompany this. Feel free to do the same in the future!

Well, today is a BEAUTIFUL day here in Hershey! No wind, the sun is shining. Should be a very productive day with construction.
-
Great Bear at Hersheypark is a loud ride. I LOVE the roar of it though, don't get me wrong. Comet Hollow wouldn't feel right without it IMO.
-
I'm glad we finally have a color version of that diagram. Defiantly looking at what's going to be on the 2012 brochure, and map. The colors are also beautiful.
In other news, today was a very blustery day. So I don't expect much more of the lift was worked on today. I suspect today's work was mainly station work; since they can tear the temp fence in the Hollow down now that the Park is done with Candylane. Or today's work probably could of been focused on finishing the few remaining footers, or electrical work around the lift(which they have been working on days like today)
All-American Thrills will have an update posted Thursday and Saturday(or Sunday) also. So keep tuned for that.
EDIT: Sorry this reply posted twice, not sure why. I deleted the second one.

The whole atmosphere of the park seems really cool!
-
I agree there is an okay balance of rides at CP. But, I think CP could use some more entertainment. Like shows, strolling shows/characters, ect. And ones' that aren't Peanuts related.
-
Well, considering at least the first part of this week is going to be a bit breezy, that will slow work of the lift up. I expect at least the first part of this week to be mainly station work, and track that will wrap around Comet and then brakes. The second half of the week we'll have to wait and see what mother nature feels like bringing us.

I'm going to call it now. Once this opens, the general consensus will be that this is the best new coaster of 2012 anywhere in the world.
Really? Leviathan, Verbolten, Wild Eagle, X-Flight? I think it will be good but only be like 3rd or 4th best. Leviathan and Wild Eagle FTW.
As for as forces are going to go, Skyrush will defiantly win.. Skyrush has been so far a VERY under rated coaster for the 2012 season. Most people on here don't realize how small the construction site is, and with these speeds, we will get some mad airtime. I'm NOT saying Wild Eagle, Leviathan, ect won't be thrilling rides(they will be) But, NO way Skyrush ranks "3rd or 4th" More like, "2nd or likely 1st" If inversions is your thing, Wild Eagle MAY be your personal fav, but if you're into airtime and other forces, Skyrush DEFIANTLY tops them all. Just wait and see on May 26th.

Does anyone know if there is a Skyrush car down there? If so, I hope they're able to grab a pic or two!

^ But, the first airtime hill after the drop is still a regular airtime hill. (I don't think you were talking about the first hill though, but just checking)
