It's important to hold onto hope.  Sometimes it's all we really have, I guess...

Looks Like they Purchased new style Vekoma Trains, that's a big win for a smaller park in the chain.

Beautiful Vekoma trains!  Interesting to see some much older Boomerangs running with original trains such as the one at La Ronde!  I believe it still runs with its 1984 train!

Yes, it is interesting to see Vekoma Boomerangs using old Arrow trains. Others include The Bat at Canada's Wonderland and Boomerang at Six Flags St Louis. One would think those coasters would be of greater priority than ones with the Vekoma trains from the 90s. Maybe we'll see it happening within the next year or so!

In the realm of "this has got to be a mistake, right", import records seem be showing three shipments heading to Great Escape from... B&M? Like, what?

If this is somehow real, the park is either getting a new family invert, which would fit great and be a very pleasant surprise, or maybe a Steamin Demon replacement, I would guess. Could a mini-dive be crammed into that tiny plot on the roadside?
