Well, I'm gonna think on a positive note, Geauga held one of the smoothest SLC's in existence in Thunderhawk, and so I think with the move to MI Adv, Cedar Fair should seriously consider getting Vekoma's new SLC cars with new OTSRs, and I make make a trip to Michigan to ride it.

But about Carowinds, apparently any "announcements" will be coming AFTER SCarowinds closes, emphasis on apparently, and I think that Beaverland is the most logical thing anyone has come up with, but PLEASE, PLEASE, PUHHHH LEEEEASE give us a flat. Because no Dominator, no coaster, PLEASE! I'll take a flat. End of story.

Oh well! Maybe one day we can get a semi major coaster. We need some flats though, but we'll probably get nothing.

In the end, I'd take a new B&M coaster over a used one... I hope, when we do get something big, we get something that is unique and not a B&M cookie cutter ala Batman The Ride coaster.. or another Vekoma.... :blink: .....now THAT would suck....

It would fit perfectly in the Saturator spot if it is being removed/moved. :D

Paging the dead horse...paging the dead horse.

It's been beaten to death already, let's not start this again.

^I wonder where they came up with it ;)

Anyone else notice that they didn't once mention that it is actually Dominator from MIA? Or how they hyped it up as if THEY were building a NEW coaster that would be the LONGEST floorless with the TALLEST loop, like it's a new record-breaking coaster?...when it actually isn't breaking any records, just holding the ones it already had but in a new location. Don't you just love marketing schemes :P
