Wow, I was up in that area in January and they still haven't done a thing since. You would think they would have at least started to go vertical by now...

they were late with nitro too infact so late they threatened to send it back if they dident give a discount lol.

Cool....I drove by there tonight on my way home to Toronto from a chicken wing pilgrimmage to Buffalo, and for the life of me I was disappointed that I couldnt see anything going on with the new coaster. Good to hear it should be there soon. It gives me a reason to check out this small park.

I have never been to MFI and might get the chance to go this summer. The new coaster will be fun I guess. But I think Silver Comet looks much better.

I'm just bummed that they went with the Zamperla model as opposed to a Gerstlauer model. Man those look fun for a mouse.

SFNEs new Mr Six spinner opens at 6am thur.. But I cant go... So I have to wait till this weekend

well i think zamperla handeled the sale of the old coaster and is rehaben it to ship to russia. so i think there was an agreement that if they could sell the coaster they would buy one from them. now ive never been on a zamperla coaster so im about as lost as all of you on it myself

Any updates on construction/opening date for the coaster?
