Apparently Fahrenheit has valleyed, because it was caught on the webcam. Lots of coasters valley during testing. Even Behemoth valleyed, and that’s rare for B&Ms. Maybe the valley was a sign that they shouldn’t build near identical rides in the same park. You can see in the photo where the train was, and then they put a tarp over it.

Brandon of RCPro has just posted a great update of Aftershock. The coaster has finally started vertical construction but still has a long way to go. I’m pretty sure a good portion of the ride is still at its former park. Hopefully we will get to see this thing in action before the end of the 2008 season.

Check out the rest of the update here.

I was looking at one of my favorite flash game sites today and came across a roller coaster related game. We don’t just have to play Brakeman anymore! In this one, you design the track to hit certain tokens. It may not be totally correct if you are into coaster simulators, but it is worth a try.

Orange County Choppers MotoCoaster - no, Cedar Fair had nothing to do with the naming of this attraction, is set to open this season at the former Six Flags park Darien Lake. While the only update I have to offer is the name, I had to point out yet another pathetic example of the lack of creativity in the amusement industry today.

Couldn’t OCC just stay a sponsor? Have a bike parked outside the entrance, a nice banner that declares them as the sponsor of this attraction?

Like the number of licks it takes to get to the center of a tootsie pop, the world may never know.

Several pictures of concept art for SeaWorld’s Manta coaster have recently shown up on the net. This post was meant for a few days ago, but there were a few problems with the site that prevented that from happening. Anyway…The ride has already been announced, but there have been few details out there. The pictures are pretty awesome looking, and if this is coaster is anything like the pictures SeaWorld will have a hit on its hands.

This is really going to be an interesting coaster. I can’t wait to see how they make the coaster dive into the water.
