Construction for Kings Island’s rumored B&M hyper coaster has taken an unexpected turn. What appears to be a water splash down has been formed where Swan Lake once resided. This begs the question, is this a hyper coaster or a dive machine coaster? Other B&M dive machines such as Griffon at Busch Gardens Europe have a splash down that resembles the one being constructed at Kings Island.

The California’s Great America and San Francisco 49ers story continues. The city of Santa Clara has sent a letter to Great America stating that they don’t need the park’s consent to construct the proposed 49ers football stadium. The city claims that in the lease with the park, they need to maintain a certain number of parking spaces. Therefore by building a parking garage there would still be the specified number of spaces.

Both the city and Great America have commented that they want to come to a mutal agreement. The article also mentions that Cedar Fair has still not ruled out selling the park.

Hershey Park’s new coaster Fahrenheit is now in the testing phases. The train seems to have made its way very slowly through the course, but I’m sure that will make for great hang time in the Norwegian loop. It’s exciting to be seeing all these photos and videos of parks across the country getting ready for the summer season!

View the Fahrenheit testing video here.
