Universal Studios Florida released details on “Project Rumble” this past Wednesday, and it’s a coaster! Hollywood Rip, Ride, Rockit is the official name of the attraction, a new 167 ft tall coaster which is planned to become a new icon for the park.
Located between Jimmy Neutron and the Blue Man Group theater, the ride will be an outdoor thrill ride flying above the park and parts of CityWalk, unlike the park’s other rides which are mostly indoors. The ride is reported to allow riders to select music to listen to …

For all of you out there with Facebook accounts, you may be interested in an app I recently completed. “Coaster Tracker” allows you to create your personal track record of all the roller coasters you have ridden, displaying a total in your profile and providing a link so your friends can check out your full track record.

Now that phpBB3 has finally been release, I have upgraded our forums from the former Vanilla boards to the new phpBB3. I will be working on the style continuously in the next week or so after I finish exams. Maybe I’ll finally get the forums integrated into the rest of the site like I said I would months ago.

I have added the large collection of photos I took over the summer to the gallery. The photos include Beech Bend, Busch Gardens Europe, Holiday World, Kings Dominion, Kings Island, and our newest park addition, Indiana Beach.

The inverted impulse coaster, formerly Steel Venom at Geauga Lake, has been named Voodoo. Pictures of the sweet logo can be seen at News Plus Notes. More information will be posted here and at Dorney Park Online once the park makes a full press release.

Cedar Fair announced today that the rides side of Geauga Lake will be closing completely, and as of the 2008 season the park will be a water park only.
From the article:
As part of the changeover to exclusively water park attractions, a number of the rides at Geauga Lake will be introduced at other Cedar Fair parks.
The property not necessary for the operation of the water park is being reviewed for other uses and development.
All I have to say is this is very disappointing news from a historical perspective. They better …

A new aerial update of Six Flags Great Adventure was posted yesterday by “Flyin’ Phil” on his site. The update can be seen here.
The update shows some interesting things going on at the park. As seen in the last update, Stuntman’s Freefall is gone, and the Riptide log flume ride is almost completely gone. Some additional random work is going on in the parking lot. Oh, and the zero-g was taken off Chiller. It’s still a mystery what’s going on with the ride, ever since its incident with a …
