The new rollercosters will be steel with a 7 million dollar price tag.

...or not.

Do any of you think Hurricane Bay will be a eye catcher over Splashin Safari? That is what my mind is starting to lean towards

Holiday World has significant challenges of its own in the near term.

I doubt many travel great distances to go to a further away water park. Some, yes. Many, no.

I dunno...when it comes to waterparks, Splashin' Safari is a VERY tough one to beat. They have a lot of high-profile, massive water slides and attractions. However, if Ed Hart adds several new multi-tower slide complexes like the ones I saw in his pitch to re-open the park, the fact Kentucky Kingdom is 70 miles closer than Holiday World would suddenly become a huge factor at least in my family & friend's cases, and it might warrant a closer look at both- as well as Kings Island, of course, which will have a 168-foot, 68mph, 7-inversion inverted trump card next year...

A year from now, Hurricane Bay being voted the Number 1 water park in the region. Possible? If Not how could it?

Region = Louisville. Sure.

You can define a region however you want (read: whatever gives you the most seemingly impressive marketing claim).

A few minutes from my house sits Kil-Kare Speedway, a 3/8 mile paved oval short track used for weekly grassroots-level auto racing. At one point, the sign out front advertised the track as "the fastest 3/8 mile oval in Greene County". In fact, it is the only auto racing track in Greene County of any length.

Well, we just all have to put are opinions forward in November.

The first picture was taken a few months back....

The second picture was taken today.....

Notice the upgraded color scheme on Giant Wheel.

Although it's looking good, work on the Giant Wheel isn't complete yet, according to Kentucky Kingdom.

Looks like it will be a nice little place to visit next year.

Work is now being done to re-construct and paint the ride-op booth of Breakdance at Kentucky Kingdom.....

((Now the ride just needs a new sign.... ))

Next Friday? The Announcement? Either way, it seems we're less than two weeks away!

And then, if this group's clever, season pass marketing begins--hot and heavy.

I sure hope the 6 million dollar coaster is something we, completely, didn't expect. I don't mind it being a used product, I'm just excited to see what exactly it is.

Here's your coaster....LOL

I'd take it as I never ride screamin demon.

That coaster has been demolished. Even before it was, it had fallen into corrosive disrepair.

I thought it was painted rust color? No? That is the only color I remember it being at Camden

I thought I read that it was going to be a really decent coaster. I really hope that isn't the one.

I really think this coaster is going to be a surprise. It just does not seem like Ed Hart adding a 6-7 million dollar coaster unless he is adding another prototype.

It isn't. That coaster was smashed to bits and removed.

Which is a better fate than sitting in a field in Thorntown Indiana and rusting away...

I would have liked to have seen Chaos rebuilt at KK instead of seeing it rust in that field.

Choas and the Quake was dumped months before Six Flags got out of their lease.

My official guess for the coaster is going to be an El Loco by S & S.

I was thinking the same thing.

I am still rolling with something from Intamin or Premier Rides

I wonder if they could even get anything from Intamin for that type of budget?
