KBF -
General improvements, not too much though. Perhaps a flat ride will pop up where Vertigo was.
CP -
Riding the "wave" from Twisted Wicker, the ride will just add a flat this year, if anything at all. There will be some resort improvements, with mainly Sandcastle being affected. Soak City may also add a new slide or two
WOF -
No coaster this year. However look for a ride where the Aquatic Arena used to be. I would imagine a Frisbee will be added, the park had to choose this season between it and the TopSpin, so maybe this year they will get the Frisbee. OoF may also receive some new rides including a water fun tree house.
MIA-
I don't think that the hyper will be this year, I look for either a river rapids ride or maybe even the S&S tower ride.
VF-
Nothing again, HA! Ok just joking, I really think they could be getting the inverted this year, however they may opt to just put in a TopSpin, which is something it doesn't have that the other smaller parks (WOF & DP) have now.
DP-
No major rides in the park itself, but the water park will receive some new slides, as well as some more general park improvements.

A power tower type ride seems to be the rumor for Michigan's Aventure. But I'm still hoping for a hyper if not next year mabey the year after.
Actually Mikey there is quite a bit of activity occuring at WOF, that's what sparked this thread.

What is some of the activity at WOF? I just posted a trip report a couple of days ago.

Worlds of Fun is definentaly going to get some sort of drop tower next year.
Valley Fair is getting Falcon next year.
I'm opting to see any type of ride next year at Dorney Park. Whatever is out there, Dorney is qualified for.
Cedar Point needs a year to breath, but I do expect another upcharge attraction to make up for Vertigo. I also expect to see more expansion on the resorts and I keep hering about some type of ride from Intiman.
Michigan Adventure, I'm waiting to see Cedar Fair's first big move on this park. The quality of this attraction wil set my record for how determined this park will be in the chain.
One of Cedar Fair's parks is supposed to get an Intiman woodie soon. The question is who? It's mainly gotta' be between Cedar Point, Worlds of Fun, and Dorney Park.
(or Michigan Adventure can get a hyper woodie ;) Son of Timbers or Colossal Shiver Dragon ;) ;) ;) )
and speaking of a coaster for dorney, i just found this at screamscape
"Dorney is looking long and hard at the new B&M Flying coaster design and would love to build one that would fly next to, and perhaps over sections of, the Thunder Canyon rapids ride."
XFlighter - riding the "wave" means they will be counting on the success of Wicked Twister to carry over to the next season so they don't have to add another large attraction if anything, much like they did after they added MForce.
rcthemepark36 - there is quite a bit of activity at the location of the Aquatic Arena. They are in the process of removing it. There are construction fences and the entrances to the place have a new wooden wall to keep people out and from seeing in. So far the bleachers have been removed, the stage, and the tank is all but gone. I would imagine the infrastructure of the roof will be down soon as well.
Groundskeeperwilly - sorry about leaving out Dorney originally, I corrected my post
Vertigo - it's been confirmed by higher ups at WOF that they are NOT getting a coaster next year, I too would imagine that they are getting a drop ride, but who knows. I have not heard about that Itamin woodie. So far they have only built one woodie here of late (Ghostrider and that was CCI)
bb_dg - that's the biggest crock of poop I've ever heard. Don't believe everything you read on Screamscape. That sounds like it should belong on WildRumors on the old ThrillRide site.

Coasterdude - Detonator is a 1st generation S&S tower ride, so it would be very difficult to convert it.

rcthemepark36 - I tend to lean in that direction as well. I think that WOF will be getting a Frisbee, with as much interest as they had in them when deciding what to get this season (it was narrowed down to either the Frisbee or the TopSpin), I think it would make sense that they get one as well.
Coasterdude318 - The first generations don't have airtubes running up to the top of the tower, they stop about 3/4ths the way up. This makes for a more intense ride IMHO, than the large versions like Power Tower. So with that tube being shorter, a newer tube that ran the entire height of the tower would need to be installed.
Coo Man Chu - when we want your opinion we'll give it to you. ;)
