You hardly ever see a Vekoma custom layout, unless it's Disney.

I could keep going, but I'm tired of looking them up.

I'll add one more, my favorite non-Disney Vekoma ever:

Of course, the Vekoma next to it, Jubilee Odyssey, didn't run when we visited (app. a frequent issue on windy days). But it looked fantastic. Kumali at FlamingoLand was another Vekoma invert that was awfully sweet.

I warned you to lay off the curries!

I thought you said to keep my hands of Tim Curry....damned gibberish!

From reading the clues given, I still have no idea what type of coaster we will see announced this evening (I'm very skeptical that the park would get a B&M), but I really would like the name "Albatross" to be used if they are going with a bird of prey at sea storyline.

I just can't see that name..

The word albatross is sometimes used metaphorically to mean a psychological burden that feels like a curse.

I think that hits a little to close to home here!

I think the name will have something Thanksgiving related to it. Especially since this new coaster/ride will be in that area.

And the possibilities there are endless...

I hope a ride on it isn't as nap inducing.

An albatross is also a very good hole of golf (three under par).

And that funny bird from The Rescuers. :)

Tryptophan The Ride!

So what you're saying is that it will be an Intamin.

No.. I was saying Plunge WAS an Intamin.

T-minus 1 hour till start up. I'm sitting in a rocking chair in Splashin' Safari enjoying the view.

For what it's worth, a google search can reveal that the park required a substation upgrade this year. Now, that doesn't spell launched coaster, as a growing park needs more power every once in a while. But, it is certainly a clue.

I got laughed at for suggesting a B&M wing coaster as baseless discussion...

Then we all thought a launched B&M would be even more ridiculous. Heh, should be fun.
