Dorney Park to add Stinger for 2012

Talk about anything that has to do with the amusement park industry here.
Postby tribar on August 31st, 2011, 4:59 pm
Dorney Park is adding Stinger, the Vekoma Invertigo from California's Great America, for the 2012.

Feel your heart pump with adrenaline after experiencing this scorpion's sting! Sit back and find yourself dangling from the scorpion tail seated face-to-face with your friends as you each sit witness to the others terror. You'll scream your face off as you are lifted up a 138-foot lift hill and then released to soar at speeds reaching 55 miles per hour through three inversions both forward and then backward

Not a suprise, but it looks nice and should be a key part in the end of CGA. (Removing Stealth was the start) I have to get my credits before then!
Top 5: 1) El Toro. 2) Maverick. 3) Millenium Force. 4) Diamondback. 5) X2.
Coaster Count: 167 (41 Wood, 125 Steel)

I am curious to see if Vekoma designed a newer train for this coaster kinda like they did when they relocated Headspin from Geauga Lake to Carowinds with the new train design. I doubt it though. If not, hopefully they atleast put in new and more confortable harnesses.
Can't live without Coasters!!!

It says Stinger on that page ... not Stingray??? Stingray would be a better name in my opinion.

I thought i got the title wrong when you said this. Stingray probably would have been a better name.

It had to have said Stingray, and your post says it's been edited. If you didn't change it, maybe a mod did. If you go to Post Reply, look at the titles in red (besides your post - Look at the other ones - titles): "Re: Dorney Park to add Stingray for 2012" But it's weird because mine and yours are the only ones that say Re Stinger. I don't know what's going on - why it changed?

^I edited it because it said Dorney Park to add a Stinger for 2012. Come to think of it maybe it did say Stingray. If i mod changed can you tell us to clear things up
