Update: August 14

Thanks for the support, guys. When I drove by I nearly wet myself with excitement so I had to get my camera out and turn around. I saw someone taking pictures up on the rocks along the shore so I thought he beat me to the punch, but it must have been the guy from the Register.

Dragster was running great when I was there Aug 10-11. Brake fin 8-11 was giving them some problems on the 10th, but they had it fixed in a matter of like 20 minutes. Otherwise, it launched pretty reliably every 65-75 seconds.

We're halfway through August now, and forgive me for not keeping up with all the latest news, but are we still expecting the official announcement before the end of the month as DK said a few months ago?

Yeah, who acually said it would be august?

Dick Kinzel did.

In the press conference announcing the Paramount Parks acquisition.

Round and Round...

Jugga, why do we have to keep repeating the same answers over and over?

I don't remeber previous coasters being this bad at all. Were they? Maybe I have just erased those times from my memory.

I am definetly now starting to think that this new roller coaster will be a launched coaster! Which is awesome!

Here's what I think is for sure...

Launched

Inversions

Record for speed?

About a two minute long ride

I say three minute ride...o wait there is one across the way called..........not sure whats its called?(all i know its a wooden coaster and it kicks butt)

Some of you will still be insisting the ride is something it's not well after it's finished and operating, I can tell.

Putz, o wise one can tell us what on earth this monster of a ride this will be? jk lol

Ben, I took the liberty of synopsizing your post.

Still the outside chance.....

It will...
...not break...
...completely soon

But what are the odds? ;)

Nice. Very Nice.

Actually Jeff, if the ride is finished at that time and there still isn't any annoucement, we'll be bored. We'll know what it is by that time.

^Doubt it. Some people will still swear that "the big crane is coming" or that this ride is just being used to divert our attention from the 3,000 footer they're building out in the lake.

You mean under the lake don't you. :)

^ LOL

SSShhhhhhhh... Pay attention to P2007, you're not supposed to know about the lake one.

I thought that was for P2008!?

I'll bet there is more to this ride than meets the eye.

Its GREAT to follow whats going on at CP. Florida has NOTHING exciting going on you 2007/2008. Universal is converting BTTF into a Simpsons based ride, and BGT (NOT BG AFRICA) is going to build a kiddy playground.
