Hahahaha your comments on Rougarou are funny! I imagine that name will be for a haunt somewhere, seeing how a rougarou is some kind of wolfman or something. As far as getting more than one ride next year, I dont think so. The reason I dont believe so is because of the work to be done on the entrance, the parking lots, and the parking booths. I think with all these renovations, plus the coaster, they wont be adding any new rides, maybe the "gr8 sk8" will make a return though. Since these park upgrades were spread over several years, I think it will be 2016 when we get some flats and other rides. I hope I am wrong though, and we do get more than a coaster

I'd love to see multiple attractions next year, but I'm not going to get my hopes up. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see a flat added along with our giga. But I just don't think it would be able to fit in our budget, (assuming that part of the budget is used for a minor 2016 expansion).

I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure Harmony Hall alone was $7,000,000. I can't imagine how much was spent this year. And on top of that, a $30,000,000 coaster plus a new park entrance for 2015. Call me a buzzkill, but I don't see how a flat could fit into the $50,000,000 budget.

Maybe 2016 will be an off year...

Or maybe I'm just really bad at estimating...

I meant to say this earlier when you posted a comment about calling the park... Please don't bug the park. Trust me when I say they are SWAMPED with getting everything together and ready for the announcement. Every minute that they aren't working on that means one minute they have to stay past their usual leaving time to finish the days work. Just calm down, take a breath and relax. Everything you ever wanted to know about this coaster, including the announcement link, will be known well before time.

Well some posts on here say it will be unlike anything ever before; intimating that it could be more than just a giga........that's the vibe I got on earlier pages.....Perhaps they meant in the next few years.
