This was reported in the latest issue of First Drop magazine which came in my mail today. More details to come.

Will it be an upcharge attraction? is it the 2nd addition for 2005? where will it go? I'm bursting with questions.

I hope it's not an upcharge attraction. I know the go-carts at Kings Island are.

Parks are adding too many seperate admission rides these days that are operated by outside contractors.

I would assume this will be an upcharge attraction, since capacity would probably be pretty low if anyone could ride. And that just seems to be the standard for go-carts at parks. I'd like to be wrong though.

Actually, the Flyers are going in the spot of the mini-rapids. But, the park is also putting in some sort of mini-boat ride too. Not sure of details at the moment.

Based on some stuff the park sent me yesterday...

The Eagles are going where Bam Bam's Boat Float was located. Looks like they're redoing some of the walkways into AS. One picture showed the foundation for another ride but they're still being coy about what that second ride is. Also, something is going into the spot where the fountain was across from Taxi Jam. No details either on it.

Looks to be an interesting revamp.

C'mon guys you know where they are going. they are simply making the track wider on thunderroad and hitching go carts to it. hince the term "mulit-level". According to my sources

One picture showed the foundation for another ride but they're still being coy about what that second ride is.


Hummm.....wonder what it can be ;)

Its a small circular base which doesn't look very big. So, my best guess is that it wouldn't be something big or major. It looks to be inside the track of those helicopters that you pedal around in (whatever they're called) and right across from the log flume. I can see it in the background of the pic.

Possibly the new Playground???

This sounds like a much more interesting expansion/addition than I originally thought. With the Eagles announced and the second ride a mystery still, I am thinking the second ride may be something rather nice.

Maybe the Go-carts could go in place of the current Mini-golf area or close to it.
