SpongeBob SquarePants Rock Bottom Plunge at Nickelodeon Universe back in January.

At least they're getting something this year.

^ I don't think so, High Roller's cars have three rows each, Ghostrider's old cars only had two rows. It's possible the lap bars could be from Ghostrider, but not the trains.

Granted, but it won't be released in your area for another year. I wish for an amusement park (with thrilling rides) in my hometown.

I read on another thread that the CGA Vortex conversion may have been put on hold or cancelled because Rougarou ended up costing more than expected, so I'm not sure if it would happen here. Speaking of Vortex, I'll be riding it this year, and it will be my first time riding a stand-up coaster. Since most enthusiasts say stand-ups are painful or unpleasant, is there any way I should ride it so that I have a decent ride?

Well, it looks like they will be PTC lap bars. And we have another case of the old Valleyfair logo getting replaced by the new one. From VF's Twitter.

^^ Kumba - Busch Gardens Tampa?

My thoughts exactly. It's a shame that the buzz bars have to go, but I understand it from the safety perspective. I just hope they aren't PTC lap bars because those don't give you much legroom.

From Dave Frazier, High Roller now has seat dividers. That stinks.

Looks like the flyers have arrived at the park. From VF's Twitter.

YouTube comments... -I went on this wooden roller coaster one day with my brother. When we were on it, it was making weird sounds.. I was scared! Right when we got off the ride and other people got on, there was a loud bang. It was louder then lighting. My brother and I saw flames and the coaster car falling off the hill. Most people were killed instantly others died a week later. My family and I never go to theme parks anymore -My mom told me the story about how she saw a kid get his face split open by barbed gates by the swing ride. To this day they removed them but it still freaks me out. -There was a girl that I was close friends with... She went on a roller coaster with her little brother and the ride wasn't stable. The cart crashed and she was paralyzed for years.

Go to the movies. Never listen to music again or never ride a coaster again?

If anyone's interested, Valleyfair will be holding this year's Season Passholder Preview Day on Sunday, May 8th from noon to 4 pm. I plan on being there unless something comes up. https://www.valleyfair.com/events/things-to-do/special-events/Season-Passholder-Park-Preview/?mobile=o

Glad that Monster has finally gone vertical. I'm thinking this could potentially be the sleeper hit of 2016. Especially glad to see this get built since I live only 3 hours away. On a side note, I hope that Adventureland is making some park infrastructure/aesthetic improvements along with the coaster. When I was there last year, the park looked like it was in a state of disrepair (buildings that haven't been updated/renovated in years, weeds growing all over the place, etc.)

Still guessing it's going to be some sort of big coaster. Some have suggested a family coaster, but I don't think they'd be hyping it up this much if it wasn't a thrill ride.

The 2017 announcement will be on March 19th at Pass Member Preview Day. [youtu_be] [/youtu_be]

I agree. Once the dinos go extinct that would clear a nice piece of real estate for a front gate coaster! I've never felt that a front gate coaster here is that much of a necessity since Wild Thing comes close enough. That being said, the Dinos spot does seem like the best location for a coaster if they don't want to expand further into the flood plain or remove an existing coaster.
