Flying Coasters

I was wondering where the next flying coaster will be built. Are there any rumored flying coasters coming?

I want to ride Stealth but don't want to go all the way to california.

I know that Vekoma and Paramount split the cost of R&D on the new design, so only Paramount parks will even get the chance of getting one any time soon. (5 years?) Unless another company makes a "flying" coaster.

The only rumor I have heard is that PKI will get one in 2002, I have heard it will be a clone, and I have heard it will be bigger, faster, new track layout.

Gotta ride 'em all!
Strictly speculation, but like Soggy said, Paramount parks are the only one's able to install Vekoma Flying Dutchman's for a while. So, PGA already has one, PKD already announced TA2K, I highly doubt Carowinds will get a 3rd new coaster 3yrs in a row, ditto for PKI. That leaves PCW as the only possible receipient for a Flying Dutchman for 2001, specially since they are way overdue for a major new coaster. Again, just purely speculation, but I predict Canada will have the next flying coaster.
Well, I'd wait for another company to make a flying coaster if Vekoma's are all going to be like Stealth. While it is one-of-a-kind, it is not that great. I enjoyed Medusa more than Stealth. I would like to see what B&M could do with a flying coaster.
Yeah, I'd love to see B&M or Intamin come out with their own insane huge flying coaster, and SFMW putting one in to stomp out PGA's meager Stealth. Vekoma really could have done more with Stealth, but for a prototype, it ain't bad. But, check out what this guy did with the flying coaster concept:
