Also you know that best theme park website poll? Carowinds Connection got voted 14th place out of 30-something and we got ahead of KICentral, CoasterForce, and Amusement Today!

Also, GCI will be building their tallest coaster at 164 feet tall in china! Check out this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=pl ... W68B6IFdtk Personally, I would love to have this wooden coaster at Carowinds than the upcoming giga coaster.

Also, new details about Wonder Mountain's Guardian: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=pl ... OXKSRNZffQ

NEW FOR 2015!
At Hansa Park in Germany, A new hyper coaster called "Karnan" will be rising in the park. Little details are known other than the height (200 ft.), but if the rumors I'm hearing are true, this coaster will be manufactured by Gerstlauer. That seems interesting as Gerstlauer is not known for making coasters over 100 feet, but this would be the first to reach 200. I'm excited to see what the final product will look like.

Cedar Fair is planning to roll out the dark rides throughout the chain, sounds like most/all the parks will get one in the future kind of like windseeker?

I know they're looking at this for CP and I've heard Knotts as well. I'd live to see then do this in all of the Boo Blaster rides for sure.

^I love Boo Blasters! What's wrong with it? If anything, I'd like to see the dark ride at Carowinds in a Haunt building. Carowinds could expand and renovate something like Asylum. I love the maze but to be honest, it's getting old and boring. That's just my opinion.

If The Rumors Hold True That Dorney Will get rid of their DA I could see them doing something to the action theatre here.

What do those two things have to do with each other, I don't follow.

I am saying we might get rid of our dreadful dinosaurs alive

I hope so. In my opinion, the only good DA's are at Cedar Point, Canada's Wonderland and Kings Island who actually got the first attraction. Ours looks terrible in my opinion. The fact that you have to pay for the attraction is even worse. That area could be used for expansion, or even Joe Cool's Driving School. Anything but Dinosaurs Alive.

I wish they would get rid of the Dinos, but they are under contract to be in the park for 5 or 7 years I do believe

Here's a look at the Triotech Vehicle that will be used on Wonder Mountain's Guardian next year at Canada's Wonderland:

Also, in that first photo of the ride attendant closing the vehicle, the vehicle is not that tall. I had to shrink it because there were four pictures that I wanted to upload and this website only allows 3 separate pictures in a post. The vehicles resemble the ones used on Amazing Adventures of Spiderman and Transformers: the Ride. I can't wait to see more concept art for Wonder Mountain's Guardian in the future. I'm so excited for this!

"Quest for Gold."

Somebody actually gets paid money to come up with this stuff? It sounds like the English translation of a ride name you would find in China or Japan.

Heide Park Coaster has been named: "Flug Der Damonen" (Flight of the Demons).
