I was out at the park Saturday and noticed that the sign over the top of the lift hill on Thunder Road is gone.

That must be the sign of the new hyper coaster coming next year ;) :lol:

I'm sure they are just repainting it or something.

I hope I see the sign back soon. If they were to repaint the sign, why didn't they do it in the off-season? :blink:

Yeah, they're tearing it down for a bigger version of Kingda Ka.

I heard from the dippin dots guy that it will be 1 foot taller than Kingda Ka so all the Cedar Point fanboys will hate us too.

Word is that it will indeed go under the bridge.

Will it go through borg's loop?

And turn around over by the old campground?

And I heard it will be doing 12 helixs over the Carolinia mall and over I-77. :lol:

I'd rather have an Apollo's Chariot or Superman Ride of Steel!

That would give us something tall, fast, with a longer ride time AND more than one trick :D

Yeah, who's up for a writing campaign to Viacom???

Let's tell them to buy Apollo's Chariot from BGW and then they can buy a new coaster for the first time in 6 years. :rolleyes:
