Two Coasters Getting Topper Tracks

Two of the roughest wooden coasters in North America may become smoother. The Rattler at Six Flags Fiesta Texas and Cyclone at Six Flags New England are the coasters to get them. The new track will only go on the rougher parts of the ride. I wouldn't get to excited because this is only a rumor.

Invertigo to be removed from CGA

Invertigo will be removed from California's Great America next season. Invertigo opened in 1999. It is a Invertigo model coaster by Vekoma. There is a rumor going around that it may come to Dorney Park in 2012. I have 2 problems with this though. First where are they gonna put it. Second, Dorney Park doesn't need another steel coaster. What Dorney needs is a wooden coaster. The only operating one is Thunderhawk. The last attempt was Hercules and that was 1989 and removed in 2003 to make way for Hydra the Revenge.

Something new at Hershey Park

The Chocolate Capital of the World is home to the Hershey Factory, Hershey Museum, and a world class amusement park dubbed Hershey Park. Something is coming to Hershey in 2012. There are markers all around the Comet Hollow section of the park. What could it be? Can it be a 12th roller coaster added to the park, a drop tower, or a brand new prototype. Sadly Hershey Park isn't leaking any hints to anybody. A coaster can be ruled out at any time because there isn't to much space unless the do what they did with Great Bear and make intertwine with SooperDooperLooper. Who knows? I guess we will have to wait another season.

Coney Island Park Construction Update

Coney Island is building a new park by Zamperla just one year after Zamperla also built Luna Park. Luna Park is aimed for the whole family but this new park is aimed for thrill seekers. The new park will be called Scream Zone. Scream Zone will feature 2 new roller coasters. The 2 coasters are Steeplechase and Soaring Eagle. Steeplechase will be a family coaster and Soaring Eagle will be a suspended coaster to look like a Zamperla Flying coaster. Some examples of some thrills are a Slingshot ride and a Torpedo ride. That is always something to look foward to in 2011 with many other coasters and rides opening next year.

Now they decided to turn around both sides.

News #1

As we know the new Windseeker opening at Knott's Berry Farm has a potential of opening elsewhere in the park. This will save the Sky Cabin ride. Sky Cabin has been in operation since 1976. Since Windseeker's construction hasn't started yet, now is a good time to change plans. Sky Cabin is 2 different attractions, one is a tower ride like Space Spiral and Hershey's Kissing Tower. The other one is a parachute tower like Parachuter's Perch at Six Flags Great Adventure.
