What MA needs is to complete the midway loop around the lake, though I'm not sure how they'd do that.

I know! The expansion of timbertown railway helped a bit but I think a path would be nice

It s quite possible that the manufacture or the designer noticed a flaw in their work and it needed to be corrected ASAP. Therefore requiring the pieces to be sent back.

...then it definitely is Intamin.

I think a path is crucial, especially if they plan on adding more TH-caliber coasters in the future. The midway along the north side of the lake feels particularly cramped for the amount of two-way traffic that TH & GR seem to generate.

Hahahahaha...funny, but probably true.

Based on what? They got one last year (bringing their total to 7). That's a lot of coasters for a water park with an amusement park on the side.

I think the park needs somthing a little bigger, better & more fun. Look @ Dorney Park. Simular ride&slide for the price of one. I would say dorney has better coasters & MA is lacking in thrills for the exception of a few rides! :)

Dorney also has 2.5 times the attendance that MiA has.

If anything, the park could use a nice flat ride. A drop tower, swing or frisbee perhaps.

I'll never understand amusement park parlance. How any of those options could be remotely construed as "flat" continues to elude me.

All of them are simular. :)

Sorry for this supid question. What would take longer to build? a 4000ft. wooden coaster or a 4000ft. steel coaster?

MA had a nice milestone Anniversary this year, CF isn't even promoting that. MA is a great starter park for families but I believe the next big plans were to complete the trail behind WC with a couple of small flats and then add a Camper Village. Although someone stole their thunder with the opening of Duck Creek RV resort right at the main entrance to the park. I still believe their is some bad blood floating around about the sewer plans. MA has potential and lots of unused land. It will be interesting to see if this stays in the CF family and if it does, if they will add a Halloween event,maybe an amphitheater, more rides. Heck they don't even shoot fireworks of for the 4th of July

Um that would depend on a lot of factors... Terrain, land clearing, number of workers, ect.

It seems KD is recieving track right now! Company still unknown, but it is said it doesn't look like Intamin or B&M!

Here is a link to the pics of KD's track! Wow I never seen track like that before, what company is it from?

To me that looks like a new style of track and my guess would be from B&M. I also think if CP gets a roller coaster it would be the intamin wing riding coaster. Those can go fast, get alot of air time, with twists and turns. Plus you would be outside the track and not on it like all the others.

A wingrider? Sounds like another maintenance nightmare to me.

That track at KD looks insanely strong. My guess would be that instead of trains, they're going to use one of NASA's shuttles or something. Wow.

KD fansite is saying they are Premier tracks! They look nearly identicle to the ones being used for the coaster at Ferrari World!

That track looks like it could survive a nuclear war!

It looks like a cross between Premier Rides and Vekoma to me. More Vekoma (think Expedition Everest).
