WickedCoaster Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 I live in Traverse City, so for something like this to happen 1 hour away is pretty amazing. Here is the link from the local news site...its looking HUGE/AWESOME! http://www.9and10news.com/category/story/?id=117305 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dandaman Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 About a 4-hour drive? Sure, I'd go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric_Smith Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 They are going to have this open year round in MICHIGAN...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airtime&Gravity Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 Great news for Michigan to get a new park, but isn't 160 million a little cheap for what they have planned? Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't GL bought for something like 130 million? It sounds like the developers have some good ideas, and when finished, this could be one of the Midwest's premier parks.

WickedCoaster Posted May 30, 2007 Author Share Posted May 30, 2007 I don't think Michigans Adventure will be able to go on much longer after this is made...I mean a mix of Disney/Universal working together against a small themepark? I think we have a winner... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterdude5 Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 ^ How close will the two parks be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swoosh Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 Call me a skeptic, but I'll believe it when I see it on whether this park even gets built. Looks like another OZ or Papa's Park to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesdillaman Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 ^ How close will the two parks be? About a 4-5 hour drive, depending on traffic. I don't think there will be many GP going to one park over the other based on size. Grayling is a big tourist area, lots of skiing during the winter, and many lakes for watersports during the summer. It's right on 75, so lots of people from Detroit, Port Huron, Lansing can get there. It's a great area for a themepark. 2 hours to Mackinac Straights. I think this will be more of a resort park than a locals hangout, think Dollywood (A themepark at a tourists destination - Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg). MI Adventure will still be there... -James Dillaman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cprocks22 Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 Yay for another park in Michigan! I can't hear any audio on the video, can anyone confirm there will be a coaster there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterdude5 Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 ^ The reporter said there would be coasters, but you never can trust them that well, haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RollerC Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 IF this is being built like IOA, then you can expect 2 good coasters and THATS IT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CP_RULES Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 Yay for another park in Michigan! I can't hear any audio on the video, can anyone confirm there will be a coaster there? In the animated video they show a wooden coaster in the background if you look closely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
