What? They cant have multiple construction projects on going on.
When was the last time the park started on their next years addition this soon?? They haven't even started on this years addition! And please, show me this "pesty contract" that busch parks have. I'll believe that when I see that.

Cedar far didn't own a ton of rocket coasters but they still brought dragster, cedar fair didn't own a ton of giga coasters but they still brought intimidator 305, cedar fair didn't own a ton of floorless coasters but they still brought hydra, cedar fair didn't own a ton of motor bike launched coasters but they still brought pony express...you get the gist right? A dive coaster is just as likely as any coaster at this point.

We just need to hear of recent developments at the plant in Ohio or see some steel track coming down 77. But will probably be July or August before that happens.
Soooo....when they parks just so happen to start getting , I dunno...say, a few scattered mack coasters we can assume the "contract" is over? But what if they get a beemer the year after the macks? Is the contract renewed? I think this contract talk needs to just end without any solid factual truth!

It has not been establish it would be any thing other than a roller coaster and has the park even established that? So I can write anything in a news article, not quote a rep of the park or have the official blueprints, but still have my speculation stated as facts?
For real guys its nice to speculate and things but its hard to read "it won't be this or that because of (insert unproven myth, folklore or wives tale)" without and well, concrete reason. All we know for sure is some man went before a board begging for money who talked about a 300 ft coaster and used a picture of gatekeeper as a visual. He didn't take specifics, blueprints or renderings, nor did he say this is exactly what the park is building, but taller...
In the meantime I'm waiting on those contracts and exclusive deals to be proven fact...
