Since it includes Millennium Flyer trains, it can be assumed for now it is a Great Coasters International coaster:

Sounds good. 7 million is that cheap for a new wooden coaster?

Not really. Depends on the size of The Beast...

That's cool, sounds fun though, I'm sure Six Flags will have all of the facts on it's St Louis page soon, if it's not already.

Evel Knievel jumped 14 busses in Ohio? I wonder where he did that at?

Yeah I found that kind funny that they didn't mention that it was at an amusement park. Which one was that again? Oh thats right Kings Island. LOL

Sounds like a nice little coaster, but does the Evel Knievel theme seem a little out of date?

Sounds like they're trying to appeal more to a Gen X audience with that one (like me, Woofer, and Mark Shapiro )

Man, I remember when Knievel did all those jumps. I specifically remember the jump over the canyon. That was crazy!

^ Yeah, in that rocket car type thing. I used to have one of those as a toy. I also had the regular motorcycle (that I think came with the Evel "action figure"), and the chopper. Those were the hot toys the Christmas I was in first grade

I ended up snapping the front wheel off the chopper in a particuarly adventuresome jump! (Of course, I also snapped off Steve Austin's leg when I made the $6M Man jump off the refrigerator too...)

I wonder how many little kids broke their arms during that time doing Evel imitations on their bikes?

Oh I Know I Used To Do All Them Bike Jumps.

Used to Have The Evel Kinevil motorcycle that had the rip cord thingy as well!

Here is a picture of it.

For those of you that are interested in the new Evel Knievel coaster, I am one of the GCII Interns and we are just starting back up on our site for the off season. Check out our intern web-site for updates and photos of the new ride as it comes along.
