Yup. There was a bit of a leak before the official announcement this morning at 11 am ;-)

http://www.catchfence.com/2009/sprintcup/08/20/kings-dominion-to-introduce-25-million-steel-giga-coaster-in-2010/

I wonder if we will get this lucky and get details on our new coaster earlier than next Thursday?

Still a good chance it will be White Lightning I think, but who knows now.

Could be:

-White Lightning with Earnhardt theme
-White Lightning without Earnhardt theme (which would be a bit odd given KD)
-Intimidator with Earnhardt theme

Probably a pretty safe bet that it will be one of those 3 things, though. They may not want to have the same names at two parks. 6 days till we know. 8)

I would be fine with eather of the top two....I would much rather have the 2nd one though.

I really hope they don't have the same theme for both of these. Wheres the originality in that? But since Cedar Fair bought the theming rights from the Earnhardts for Intimidator 305, would they need to buy them again for this coaster? If so, I'm guessing they will go generic racing theme for this. But I wouldn't bet money on it...

Well, Now That I have seen what KD is getting. I am even more excited about our coaster. Think ours will have alot more air time hills While KD's is more of a speed machine. With OTSR, yuk. still looks like a nice coaster, but looks like the best thing about theres will be the first drop, and mabye some of the air time hills. Im not Too much for low to the ground speed turns. outside of the speed, the long speed turns are kinda of boaring
