Valleyfair! has announced via twitter the closure of their enterprise ride as "they prepare for new heights in 2017". Sure does sound like a windseeker tease but I don't really see cedar fair purchasing another windseeker due to all the problems they had.

An announcement is to come in mid-August.

Hmm, is the ampitheater next to it still used?

[tarheel1231]

^ I believe they actually renovated it this year for the "All Wheels Extreme" show or whatever it's called.

Maybe the skyroller did well at Canada's Wonderland.

^Well that rules out my hopes for them getting a B&M Inverted, maybe another Windseeker will be moved instead of buying a new one. Looking at Valleyfair's coaster list, it looks pretty basic except Steem Venom.

Mean Streak gets the axe September 16th.

Eh.
They definitely need a drop tower, but these kinda suck. Both the ones at Cedar Point and Dorney are pretty forceless and tame.

Worlds of Fun will be announcing their 2017 additions on the same day as Carowinds.

Dollywood's Splash Country 2017

http://www.dollywood.com/waterpark/Rides/TailSpin-Racer?cid=eml_001658

TailSpin Racer – New for 2017!
Experience the wet and wild twists, turns and thrills of Dollywood’s Splash Country’s newest attraction, TailSpin Racer!

From its unique spiraling, high-speed AquaTubes to its splashdown finish, it’s an all-out race to see who can get to the end first. TailSpin Racer matches riders in a head-to-head race with the fun of a traditional mat racer-style slide and the tight turns and daring drops of an enclosed slide.

TailSpin Racer Facts:
Six-lane racing slide
Longer than a football field
Five stories tall

[gabed]

But don't they already have a mat racer?

[tarheel1231]

Well that's just great. They have two mat racers and we've got zero. Zip. Zilch!



[EDIT] Three! Three mat racers! That should be illegal! Lol

[Jarsh]

Three? Slick Rock Racer and Tailspin Racer. What's the third one?

[tarheel1231]

Mountain Twist.

[Jarsh]

Ehhh... I don't think I'd count that as a obvious racing slide (in the sense of side by side lanes) like Slick Rock and Tailspin. By that same thought, any slides that are next to each other and are comparable in layout could be considered racing.
