New woodie outside of Miami?
Greetings -
Today I received a rather excited phone call from my girlfriend, who goes to school in Miami, Florida. While driving on I-95 South into Miami, she was shocked to see construction of a wooden roller coaster along side the road. As she was driving, she didn't get a very good look at it, but she said that it was undoubtedly a coaster (and practically finished, as well).
Now, anyone that has been to the Miami area knows that they don't have any amusement parks past the occasional small carnival-style one. Thus, she is guessing that it is at a small park, and that it will be their first coaster. A quick search on the net revealed nothing.
My question is: does anyone know more about this coaster, including more details (ie. stats) and where it actually is? Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
jt.

How about Grand Prix Race-O-Rama in Dania Florida. I checked out Mapquest and its only 21 miles from Miami. That would make it a suburb of Miami. Check that park first. Just checked the coaster database and this park has a new coaster for the year 2000. Most likely that is the one she saw. "Dania Beach Hurricane".

Actually its outside of Ft.Lauderdale.Its at Grand Prix race-o-rama.Its not really a park.Its more like a large arcade with a couple of go-tracks and a skycoaster.It was supposed to open in July but now on there web page they say August.
