I've read a few things about Astroword in the past 6 months. Of course the biggest rumor is that the woodie was pushed back from 2001 to 2202, or was cancelled altogether for a steel coaster. The rumors of a steel coaster i have heard are: B&M Hyper, Arrow Looper, or Vekoma Flying Dutchman.
But all of these rumors are NOT for next year, but for 2002 and beyond. That's just what I have read over the net! Hopefully, we'll get more rumors about Astroworld this season!
