I couldn't see on the website or Facebook either. Guess everyone is trying to see it at the same time...lol I was able to see it on the link above^^^. Looks like a great ride. I may have to make a trip up there, finally.

Yeah looks great except for being so short. I wonder how much longer the wait for the floorless seats will be than the inner seats....

Wow Skyrush will be a neat coaster, the seat design is unique I guess I think sitting on the outer edge like that would be pretty intense I guess but I know from Intimidator on the "outer" seats its a LOT of wind in your face so I can imagine what this will be like... I wonder how many problems this intamin will see with G-forces etc. Oh well hopefully none, looks like it will be a good coaster nevertheless. And yea I agree its definately NL that was used for the anmination...no wonder NL2 is taking a while, they are sidetracked with other projects :lol:


[mod edit: I just inserted your Thorpe Park post here.. no need for a separate thread]

Looks like LC12 @ Thorpe has a name The Swarm. Confirmed its a B&M Wing Rider with a 127ft drop (head first).


WAR IS COMING...

The UK's first winged rollercoaster, THE SWARM, takes you on a death defying flight through apocalyptic devastation.

Be picked up and dragged on the wings of THE SWARM as you’re left exposed and vulnerable to the extreme near misses and gut wrenching inversions as it rips through the sky on its
mission of complete annihilation.

Experience the unique head first, inverted drop from 127ft as you are flung into this merciless flight for your life. War is coming...
Spring 2012.




Nice.

Meanwhile, sources have also mentioned that Kings Dominion is also expecting to import the Dinosaurs Alive upcharge attraction from Kings Island, which really has not received the best reviews… so I’ve got to ask, “Why?”

Carowinds has the same MyPark app for the Android that I've been trying it out. Here's their facebook update with the info:

According to that, they have one for the iPhone as well.

UPDATE: I don't use iTunes but my daughter does. She searched the iTunes store for 'carowinds' and found the MyPark app listed there.

they have just about every type of B&M coaster they make, so this should be something new maybe a prototype. My Guess, the very first B&M Giga
