New construction!

Well Millennium is going to be gone because of the renovations, but $5 for Disaster Transport would be fair. I say they keep Disaster Transport because of the beautiful looks. It adds a lot of beauty and would be a much needed visual break from mundane high-rise hotels. And since Mantis is the best steel coaster in the world (the golden ticket voters don't know a good coaster when they ride one) they should enclose it and convert it to a custom Stand-Up Floorless Launched 4th Dimension Wing-Rider train to make it even better. Use the launch from Maverick (since that's going away for a hotel) to make the ride even better! Then Mantis can claim its rightful spot as #1 steel coaster EVARRRRR.

I honestly think that could work. But wouldn't you think it might be awkward to have any other coaster besides Mantis in one park then? I mean, if it's going to be the best, I don't think it should have any competition to take its spotlight. Maybe DT, but they should probably just take out the rest.

Oh, and what do you guys think about perhaps making some sort of animatronic dinosaur exhibit and charging 5 or 10 bucks for it? That would improve revenue as well.

I'd say 15 bucks, but other than that great idea.

Aside from that, they have the rack brochures out now. (Facebook link)

PS - That's me asking the questions.

Nice cameo. :)

But is this news? This is stuff that's been known around here for weeks.

EDIT:
I was referring to the fact that a haunt is being constructed in MS' infield, not the rack brochures.

Yes, but have we known the name of the attraction and that it would be another throw back like Shoot the Rapids?

I didn't even hear the name mentioned in that video on my first viewing. And on my second viewing, I still didn't catch the "throw back" comment. Admittedly, I stopped watching at about the 4 minute mark.

Not a big deal. I dig that we know the name now. I just thought there was some new information beyond that.

I'm not sure who was answering the questions, but he really got confused when you kept asking about Happy Jacks and he said it was going inside Mean Streak. I got a good laugh. :)

If it were Happy Jack's being relocated back there, it definitely would be 'going'...

Do you do stand up? :)

...in the shower.

I almost never ride Mantis, regardless of the weather. ;)
