The used rides I can identify are:
-Rock-N-Rocket is probably AstroWorld's looping starship.
-Crazy Legs is probably AstroWorld's Troika.
-Rodeo is SFGAd's Huss Rodeo/Breakdance.
-Sidewinder is a Scrambler which I thought was coming from AstroWorld too, but it could be coming from somewhere else.
The new rides:
-An Interactive Spray Ground
-Caddo Lake Barge - a Zamperla Rockin' Tug
-La Fiesta de las Tazas - spinning saucer ride
-Up, Up & Away - a Zamperla Balloon Race
-Blackbird - I'm not sure of the generic name but this may be that Zamperla kiddie ride that looks kind of like a suspended whip. I saw one this summer at either Hershey or Dorney. Suspended cars travel in an oval and swing out as they go around the corner.
-Boot Scootin’ - another Zamperla kiddie ride with boots that move up and down (kind of like a mini Dumbo).

"Everybody say MOO!"
Wasn't that one of the suggestions in the original RCT manual?

Seriously, that is one of my favorite flats at Great Adventure. And it would have made a nice pairing with "El Toro."
By the way, for a few years, there were signs posted and ride operators were strict about following the policy of "2 to a car." Last year, the signs were down and I was able to enjoy the attraction as a single rider.
Say it aint so...the steers shouldn't go.
MOOOOOOooooooo!
It looks like a fun ride--I think they need to make an adult version.
