Thunderhawk @ World's of Fun

I just recently went to the website for World's of Fun and
I noticed a link at the top of the page that says "Thunderhawk: Coming in 2002."  I clicked on it and it is a dead link.  Does anyone know what this is going to be?

In 2002, you'll be sure to FLIP over our newest attraction as you soar through 3 minutes of six-story flight

Most likely it will be a Topspin

Whatever it is, it's using the Dorney Thunderhawk logo.  While I'd love to see another Thunderhawk, I'm pretty sure it's not a wooden coaster. 

Let's see, six stories is about 60 feet.  Huss lists the height of the Top Spin at 59 feet.  A Top Spin is a safe bet in my book.

Most likely a Top spin (insert as many groans as you please here) I am sick and tired of Worlds getting crap, like we always get.

It kind of sounds like a Invert to me. That sounds very similar to one of my home parks adds. It sounds alot like a little add to Talon.

A 60-foot Invert?  You gotta be kidding me.  It would probably have enough speed to do one or two zero-g rolls...anything else would have too tight of a radius.

If you see me running, try and keep up!

Oops sorry I didn't hear it was 60 feet. Ignore my post.

Could be 60 foot loops...

MambaTim, hold your breath on an invert next year for the park and you'll have some serious health issues.  Seriously though, Top Spins don't "suck".  If that's what Valleyfair ends up getting that'd be cool with me.

I like Top Spins (Voodoo @ SFMW). There a really nice addition to the flat ride department.

Just based on the name, I bet a lot of people were guessing this was WOF’s rumored B&M invert (Raptor, Talon, Thunderhawk…) but it just doesn’t seem very likely. (I wonder if WOF had planned on a B&M named "Thunderhawk" then didn’t bother to change the name and logo when the invert was canceled…)

Cedar Point is my home park, but I feel sorry for those who have WOF as theirs. This park is in dire need of a new coaster, especially an inverted. I don't understand the neglect. Looks like Cedar Fair is really cutting corners in the bad economy.

Exactly Martling, someone understands.
