Something just dawned on me the other day. I was thinking about all the coasters and their manufacturers, and I stumbled onto an interesting fact:
Ever since 1970, when a steel coaster was built, another was built by the same manufacturer without being interrupted by a different manufacturer.
1970-Wildcat, 1972-Jumbo Jet (Schwarzkopf)
1976-Corkscrew, 1978-Gemini (Arrow)
1979-Jr. Gemini (kiddie), ,1983-Demon Drop (should be a coaster), 1985-Avalanche Run (Intamin)
1987-Iron Dragon, 1989-Magnum XL-200 (Arrow)
---------1991-Mean Streak (but not steel)
1994-Raptor, 1996-Mantis (B&M)
1999-Woodstock Express (Vekoma kiddie)
2000-Millennium Force (Intamin)
So the way the pattern goes with large steel coasters, it appears that we'll either get a woodie, or another Intamin...what do you think?
No, not a wood It will be a S&S I ve talked to many it will be steel, I say 100% Thrust air in 2003.Not 2002 that brings flat rides.

I think we've beat the "What do you think we're getting in 2002" thread to death...
