New for 2007 Options

[Leonardofury]

Hey everybody,
It's become traditional that I do one of these every year, so without futher ado here's the list of what new rides to expect round the world for 2007

Adventure Island, UK
Their new coaster Rage will be located on the site of the old Log Flume. This will be the second UK installation of a Eurofighter coaster, Rage being smaller than Speed: No Limits at Oakwood. It is Gerstlauer's new 320+ layout featuring 3 inversions in a compact layout.

Alabama Adventure, USA
Will be adding several new rides for 2007 and 2008. These include two new water rides and four new family rides. New themed areas are planned to contain these.

Aventura Selvagem, Brazil
The park plans to construct the Tornado from Playcenter São Paulo inside a Volcano facade. The Tornado is a Schwarzkopf Jetstar 2.

Blackpool Pleasure Beach, UK
Looks to be added Traumatizer from the defunct Pleasureland Southport. This Vekoma SLC will be located on the site of the old Log Flume. No offical annoucement has been made yet however.

Boondocks, USA
Is planning to add a small oval tracked kiddie coaster. Nothing more is known.

Busch Gardens Africa, USA
Sheikra is planned to get a refit. Yep, sometime after Griffon opens, Sheikra will also be upgraded with floorless trains. I suppose this makes up for them not having Python next year.

Busch Gardens Europe, USA
Is joining it's sister park and also adding a B&M Dive Machine. This rollercoaster will be called Griffon and features wider, floorless, 10 seats per row cars, as well as 2 inversions and a water splashdown. It is being built on the site of the old Le Mans Raceway ride.

Camelot, UK
They have recently aquired the BMRX coaster from the closed Kobe Portopialand. Being as they have announced a 'Big new addition' it looks likely that this Schwarzkopf classic has found a new home. It is rumoured that Gauntlet will be removed (And has been sold to some park down south, poor people) to make way for the ride. If this is true it's a brilliant exchange, if you've read my review of Camelot, you'll know my thought's on that pain machine. Camelot are also rumoured to have purchased Pleasureland Southport's S&S Spaceshot, which may be another possible addition next year.

Caralina Crossroads, USA
Has purchased and plans to rebuild the Zippin Pippin wooden rollercoaster formerly located at Libertyland.

CarthageLand, Tunisia
Are presently building a Soquet rollercoaster, however this park has been under construction for sometime so don't get your hope up. According to the park map this attraction will be located to the very back of the park.

Casino Pier, USA
Look to have nearly finished Pirate's Hideaway, an enclosed Wisdom coaster.

Cedar Point, USA
Cedar Point have annouced Maverick, their 17th rollercoaster. While it isn't a record breaker, Maverick will feature a LIM launched first hill, several themed canyons, a 95 degree drop and 2 corkscrews. It is built on the old white water landings site.

Cherry Valley Golf and Games, USA
Have erected a small trailer mounted rollercoaster built by Molina & Son's. It will be called Tidal Wave and will hopefully open next year. It was previously owned by New York showman.

Plans to add a Soquet rollercoaster that's nearly a km long. The ride will be called Corsaire but the location is not yet known.

Conny-Land, Switzerland
Conny-Land is planning to build the tallest rollercoaster in Switzerland, by adding a Pax Loop 520 rollercoaster that will strech out over the entrance to the parks carpark. The ride will be just over 137ft tall at it's highest point and feature a loop during it's course. The ride design is simular to a Schwarzkopf shuttle loop.

Efteling, The Netherlands
After the failure of Kumbak Coasters first coaster to open last year, it is rumoured Intamin have been brought in to sort out a problem with the rides lift hill. Hopefully this mean's that this beautifully themed water coaster will open next year.

Heide-Park Soltau, Germany
Keeping with the Tussaud's tradition of adding Intamin Accelerator coasters to their parks (Alton Towers - Rita Queen of Speed 2005, Thorpe Park - Stealth 2006), Heide-Park has annouced that their new attraction will be an Accelerator coaster themed to an off-road rally. Desert Race will be located next to Collosus and feature a ground-hugging layout rather than the usual launch up a top hat.
