ProSlide said on Facebook that the new slide, Brain Drain, is a Super Loop, not the SkyBox slide we thought it was.
The additions looks great for Darien Lake. One step into the future correctly.

As long as the coasters are not made in china.....
BEST post ever!

Did Chad from the Gravity Group say at IAAPA 2013 that he wanted to build a woodie for Alton Towers? I'll try to find the video.

I've seen Dan say on Facebook that the park will add slides and rides in the future, but they have to improve the current infrastructure before they add rides.

What about a Zamperla Giant Discovery? I mean it is Zamperla's take on a HUSS Frisbee, and with Cedar Fair buying a lot of rides from Zamperla lately, a Giant Discovery in my opinion would be more likely than a HUSS Frisbee. The HUSS Frisbee has too many maintenance issues, and when was the last time Cedar Fair (or even Six Flags) bought a brand, new ride from HUSS?

Just wish there were more options closer to the park.
I agree with your point about cheap hotels- but they better be GOOD, quality hotels with a GOOD breakfast. I do not want to pay $130 for a hotel when I only spend one night. It's important that a theme park visitor gets a good night sleep and good breakfast before going on some heart-pounding rides!

Whats the crane doing?
Most likely installing the LIMs, Fire effects and show building.

Yes, the backseat ride looked like something the Spanish Inquisition dreamed up to force confessions from heretics.

I definitely won't miss Gwazi. God awful ride. Rot in hell Gwazi!

The latest Hard Hat Chronicles.

Any other ideas on what this announcement might bring us?
What announcement? Where (specifically) did you here there will be an announcement?
I guess he heard it from SFNE:
-
ONE time and that's it!

So, why are they waiting until (I assume) tomorrow to put the last piece of track in? They were very close to doing it earlier, and I can't see why they'd want to put it off now.
They're having media on Friday. They were probably test fitting today in case the track piece had issues.

Congrats to everyone at Carowinds for their hard work! The construction workers deserve a HUGE round of applause for their work in this fun, but yet difficult project.
-
Anyone here active on Google+? I was thinking of trying a Google Video Hangout for this ...
Sure, why don't you guys one? SFNE has done 4 of them and are quite fun. I can't wait to see how you guys do it.

FYI- Cedar Fair made the switch back to Heinz! Yay!
-
I hate to say it- but I wish the blizzard of 2015 is gonna hit Detroit so I don't have to go to work.

Just saw from friend on Facebook, Busch Garden Willamsburg's new 2015 Premier Rides Coaster will be announced in March. He had a screenshot of the article, but I'll post it later.

Did SF release the video to TPR? I've noticed two coasters that don't belong at SFOG in the background.
It was recorded at SFMM, and you saw Green Lantern and Superman: Escape from Krypton. They did it because SFOG never recorded a POV themselves, so they used SFMM's.

On another note that I haven't seen on here, Blazing Fury's last two drops are being re-built by RMC, so no one should jump to conclusions that RMC is working on a new project at this time, lol. That may happen, but right now they're removing and replacing the 2nd to last and the last drop on Blazing Fury - which is a result of issues that arose from removing the water, the brakes, all that stuff. RMC's iron track is pretty close to what is used on Blazing Fury, so they are a good choice for this project. I wouldn't expect a big difference, but we'll see when it opens back up in March.

Looks like I'll be back in Orlando in 2017. Great to see someone in the U.S. buy Intamin again!
I'm sure Jim Reid-Anderson (Six Flags CEO) is throwing a fit right now over losing a record.
