I know this isn't exactly the place to put this, but CF has expanded Carowinds by 61 acres! I wonder how many rides that will translate to…

This Thursday look out for Canada's Wonderland's announcement on 8/18. Last week, B&M track was spotted on-site. People are hoping/looking for a possible wing rider. I think 2012 will be the year that I'll finally get up to Canada!

I received an e-mail earlier about Thorpe Park's 2012 B&M wing-rider: The Swarm. http://www.theswarm.co.uk

Holiday World, Canada's Wonderland, and Dollywood are all at the top of my list now that Skyrush has been announced (which looks awesome by the way). however I'm also hoping for some good surprises from SFMM and Knott's considering their stiff competition next year.

If all this is true then it sounds kind of like a Maurer Söhne X-Train coaster. http://www.maurer-rides.com/x-coaster/x-train/

Oh, I think Carowinds is having a bit too much fun. First there's a Giant Frisbee, then the GCI Coaster, now a Windseeker? I wonder which is it going to be?

Wow hersheys new ride looks awesome. It is going to be 200 ft tall, go 75 mph, have an 85 degree drop, will have zero g transitions, and 5 float hills. But the biggest suprise was that it will have winged seats on the outside! They are optional as there are standard seats on the inside. Also, there will be a motor that sends you up the 200 ft hill at 26 feet per second. So, it will take about 7.5 seconds to reach the 200 ft top! Sounds awesome!
