Just posting here to make sure I get Matt's attention.

So what's the scoop? What's Bush Gardens building?

A slight non-sequitor:

Six Flags Magic Mountain is advertising that they have "Three New Rollercoasters." While Green Lantern is new (opening July 1), how are they advertising that Superman is new?!? Because they turned around the cars/trains (or whatever they are called), that makes it a new ride? And is the third one (I can't remember which one it is) - is that 'new' or just some old ride that you sit sideways in now?

It's where the kddie coaster near Thomastown was. It's new and adults and kids can ride it. Superman is advertised as new because it did get new ride vehicles, launches backwards and does go 100 mph so therebare technically 3 new coasters

DCA has a couple new rides. One they just down down the shade structure and changed the music. The other they just painted blue.

They advertise it as 3 new rollercoaster experiences

Disney didn't advertise a "new" Matterhorn or Splash when they f*cked with the vehicles...

Wasn't Superman advertised as being the first 100 MPH coaster when it first opened several years ago (even though, if I recall correctly, they were not able to achieve that; at least not when it opened).

In all honesty, I really don't care all that much.

Disney advertised the hell out of Matterhorn when they added Harold and the double car sleds in 1978.

The new cars on Superman really do change the experience, ALOT - it's really different to be nearly 400 ft. off the ground looking STRAIGHT DOWN as opposed to having no visual clue as to where you were at all before.

Sooo.. they copied the idea off the Tower Of Terror in Dreamworld. Meh. It's still better. Ask Robb Alvey.
