I have never visited that site before, but after a quick paruse, I would not put much into what they are saying for 2017. That old stand up coaster will not ever be built at DL or any park for that matter. It was not taken down properly, so putting it back up is now impossible.
Oh I used to work at the park but it does bring up a few points, even though it was taken apart wrong the only issues that it had was the cap off the lift whch dropped which was what I have heard from people in maintenance when I was there, but whoever knows at this point.
Exposed to the elements and rusting for 10 years... its garbage. It was a crap rude to begin with. And, a recent employee said its never going to be re-assembled. There's also a waterslide complex in the field behind it that is not going to be re-assembled. Why they havent junked either one, nobody knows.
