'08 Coaster Openings MegaThread

Well I decided I'm going to add everything that has opened, so I added Goliath quickly, as those are my own photos.

It might be another Batman clone, but SFFT did an amazing job with the location, colors, trains, ride area, entrance plaza ect. The drop is one of the best ones I have ever been on because of the amazing view.

What about the new Maurer S?????????hne spinner Salama, which opened at Linnanm?????????ki?

A great family ride IMO. And not bad for enthusiasts either.

Ravine Flyer just looks meh. It looks kinda fast, pretty twisty, and uh... OMG 90 degrees......

I personally hate wooden coasters. Period. Farenheight looks pretty cool.

Dominator has a good video a coaster-net. That last turn after the corkscrews and overbank looks like its got alot of g-force. And the loop looks like alot of 0g. Im excited to get on it when i go. Its definately the best coaster there.

Hershey Park's site has posted a new "construction" video of Fahrenheit with some footage of the first riders. It has also posted a time-lapsed video of construction.

View that here: http://www.hersheypark.com/fahrenheit/index.php

I found this video on Youtube. It is a rough POV of Fahrenheit, the first one that I have seen.

Edit: ^Well the video was working about 45 minutes ago. I don't know what is wrong with it. Sorry [:I]

You forgot to mention Voodoo at Dorney Park & Wildwater Kingdom!

If you have any questions about the ride let me know. I work at the park and see it every single day!!!

Also, at the same site you find a video of Piraten, Djurs sommerlands new Intamin mega-lite. This video includes a full POV. This one as well looks pretty awesome! [:D]
