2005 Is Gonna Rock!

I am really looking forward to Hades just because I want to see how a Gravity Group coaster debuts and how it is. *still hopes GG is behind Ravine Flyer 2* ;)

I too want to see how the GG does, but with S&S and GCI both doing so well with their latest rides, and Intamin doing its thing in Europe, it is hard to imagine any so-so woodies being built unless the parks ask for them. I expect that a high percentage of wooden coasters built over the next few years will be very good.

Yep, theres been a rumor around for awhile that Valleyfair! will add a decent flat ride in place of the Corkscrew Tot Spot.

The rumored 160ft first drop (yup, bigger than even the Vekoma flyers), has my mouth watering, even if it weren't going to be the biggest flyer built to date.

Just hope that they put more HILLS in the new flyer instead of those boring turns. Superman:UF at SFGadv is a REAL letdown after the initial drop and pretzel loop. If it had more drops like the first one, it would be amazing. Hopefully, they will start designing more interesting flyers than S:UF.

and very possible changes for SFA waterpark (hopefully a good slide!).

^That's not the only thing they might be getting Austin.

They may also be adding a setpoint interactive swing thing coaster as well.

Or a B&M Stand up. Or a Mouse. Or a...Awe, nevermind...

If only Geauga Lake would get a hyper!

geauga lake cant get a hyper city law wont let them build over 200 or 205' feet not sure which won,if they buil one at all it will probably be excatly 200'

Geauga can build over 200 feet. IIRC, they got permission to build up to 220 for the hyper that never was.

The last I heard they got it raised to 252ft. Which would make for a very nice Hyper if you ask me.

But who's asking? ehhh hehe

Austin did you check your PM's I sent you something last night on the "details" of just what may be in store for us next season.

I think I remember Swoosh leaving a lot of teasers about Spinning Dragons leading up to a bigger B&M Coaster in the Orient Express lot at WoF for 2005. I don't know how reliable that is, but WoF has been on the back burner for quite some time, and something big wouldn't so much suprise me. Maybe they will figure out how to build something new without first removing something.

I think I can say with some certainty that OE's replacement will not be coming in 2005.

Booster Bike at Alton Towers is not a certainty. A lot of plans have come and gone for the park recently including 'Jazz Land' and the wooden roller coaster.

More wood, please!!

Does anyone know if the CP giant frisbee is confirmed or not. And if anyone knows the stats about it if its true what are they? Sounds good for CP if its on cant wait if it is true. Not a coaster but still a thrill.
