Another Tony Hawks Big Spin coming to SFOT in 2008.

Talk about anything that has to do with the amusement park industry here.

So we are now down to 7 coaster announcements to be officially made. :lol:
I finally retired the Sarah Palin signature because she is now 100% irrelevant.

seems to be a good choice for the park...

Here in St. Louis, (sort of my homepark but not really) It seems like Tony Hawk is a pretty big hit. They have video cameras that tape the riders. They are neat. Sort of like how Raptor does at Cedar Point.

Good to hear that the corp. is now trying to make what they currently have better.

That video is funny. Mostly in the dark and sped up off-ride footage to make it seem more thrilling. the fact that the one guy has his drink in his hand should tell you how mild it actually is.

NO!!!!!!! They are removing Wildcatter for it!!! There are only 3 operating 1st generation freefall rides left in this country, and I was so happy I got to go to Texas in April and ride it. The Edge was one of my all time favorite rides when it was at Great America and I miss it so much. Besides, they already have a Tony Hawk just a couple hours down the road in San Antonio!

I was wondering if the proximity to Fiesta Texas would make a difference in the turnout as well, however, since it's their first new coaster in 7 years, despite the fact that there is one close by, the park will still probably benefit from this.

SFOT and SFFT aren't that close to eachother. Don't let them being in the same state fool you.

We are talking 280 miles between both parks. That is pretty much the same distance between Chicago and St. Louis.

Big Spin was pretty fun. For me, Ragin Cajun spins more but big spin has a more entertaining layout.
