Looks like Morey's Pier is getting a set of flyers http://www.pressofatlanticcity.com/news/king-kong-to-make-a-return-to-wildwood-boardwalk/article_c67325d4-65ee-11e4-b2bf-335c1948cc89.html

There is an annoucement with Triotech and Cedar Fair on November 18th at IAAPA. Linky: http://www.iaapa.org/expos/iaapa-attractions-expo/press-office/schedule-of-press-events/press-events-tuesday

Lance (Screamscape site owner) just changed it to reflect that it is for BGW.

If that's the case then It really should be getting Vekoma trains IMO, wheel boogies have not really been a strong side of KumbaK. I wonder if there is someone else who would be interested in manufacturing trains for SLC's, Premier comes to mind. Premier did an excellent job wrecking a Vekoma (Goliath at SFNE). I say KumbaK.

Ugh. Sounds as bad as Iron Wolf. Can't wait to ride it next year to see for myself.

Thanks for letting us know. I think 2 are going in the old rope course area by Demon.

The Koch Family buying Darien Lake. Just a random idea that WILL NEVER happen.

Kings Island Announced Flyers and Kiddie Ride. Link: http://themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1518612#p1518612 Wild Adventures Announced Magic Carpet ride from Celebration City. Link: http://www.themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1519243#p1519243

The same ones as Cedar Point's. I can't wait to ride this next year when I visit. These should go up pretty fast.

First- Banshee at Kings Island. Last- Maverick at Cedar Point.

Don't forget Kentucky Kingdom and a quick trip to Coney Island in Cincinnati for a credit.

Even though it hasn't been built or announced, Tempesto at BGW. Low capacity!

If they announce a new show, I hope it's Lumonsity at CP. It can keep guests longer at the park, and it's an AWESOME show (probably the best Cedar Fair show).

Exactly. I hope Chance version catches on, too. Hopefully, MiA gets that rumored Chance Mega-Lite in 2016. It'd be a great fit and they could market it as having the steepest drop in the state.

When I hear 'Voyage To The Iron Reef' I think about The Voyage at Holiday World, Nemo and Iron Rattler at Six Flags Fiesta Texas. I know, it's weird.

Robb, can you tape some of Strike-U-Up at IAAPA and release it on YouTube? Seems interesting.

Cedar Point. It feels more 'relaxed' while Disney World for families kinda feel like a stress time for parents.

I would rather take a Maurer Sohne or a Mack Spinning Coaster over the Gerstlauer because you are back to back instead of face to face.For the Sally dark ride, I just don't see that coming in the next 5 years but many in 10-15 years? It just seems something that everyone would enjoy, but they really need to do other things before a dark ride. Also, for the water coaster idea, I really think that's a good idea and it is easy to market. I loved Mammoth and Wildebeest at Holiday World, so I think these will do well at the park.

I found this video on youtube showing CAI's (Central Amusuments, Inc) plan for reinventing Playland. WARNING--- This video is about 1 hours and 45 minutes. You probably won't finish it ALL in ONE time.

B&M made the last stand-up in 1999 with Georgia Scorcher at Six Flags Over Georgia. B&M still has stand-ups listed on their website.

Agreed. Six Flags themes when a new ride opens but then just doesn't maintain the theme afterwards. Nice report from SFGADv Chuck! I really need to come to SFGADv some day.

My local park would be Cedar Point which is 2.5 hours from my house.

The new ones (except Banshee) are really "forceless" while the old ones are really intense and forceful. By forceful do you mean G-forces? If yes I agree that B & M's have more "airtime" than positive G's. Yes.
