While I live closer to Kings Island, I'm voting for Flying Turns, because I plan to get PA covered this comming summer.

I didn't realize how many Ohioans were on here! Has TN had any meetups?

I would have said flying turns, except that was my most anticipated coaster last year. Now a Busch Park is getting a new B&M, so it's no contest.

I hope to finally get to Knoebels and Hershey this year, but I won't go unless Flying Turns is open.

Which could and should be attempted even without a lift. I doubt B&M would do it but a company like that just might.

For me it's a tough decision between Manta and Prowler, simply because I don't think I'll make it to Florida this year. I chose Manta anyway, but Prowler should turn out to be a great coaster.

Thats a hard one to pick, Tops would have to be Flying Turns, Maybe SFMM or Diamondback at KI.

Living in Orlando, it's a tie between Manta and Rip Roar'n Rockit. It will be sweet listening to Metalica while riding the rockit.

^Not much of a roar in Universal's new coaster, however I do agree about being able to choose your own song. Is there a song list anywhere?

I had to get a different thread like this to the top. I'm thinking Diamondback will be my best chance to get a new 2009 coaster.
