I would think that is just for a contest or some sort of deal for Labor Day. Doesn't sound like 2012 news, but it still might be something cool. Hehe, maybe Fast Lane Backyard BBQ?
If you want to really ride a smooth coaster, buy a roller coaster simulation game and load it into your computer or watch it on your HD wide screen TV. The fun of riding a coaster is feeling the click and clang of the rail and being thrown against the side in a sharp, high speed turn. But I prefer the wooden coasters over steel coasters any day.
