If this turns out to be pretty good then I don't see a problem with it.

Definitely not the lamest announcement though, MIA, WoF, and Dorney are getting nothing once again

^ Even when they do get something, they are usually the last to be announced so there may still be a few more.

I want it to be something big, but history has not smiled upon that park announcement wise...

^He's right. Dorney's announcement was set for either late September or early October (I forget exactly). It will be little or nothing, of course. But there will be an announcement.

^Hydra will get a stand-up conversion in 2017!

Oh really? That coaster has got snaky inversions and they seem to be a bit much for a stand-up.

rcmaniac pointed out that the live performers could quickly become an issue if they are bored. I like the idea, just adding the live performers could make this be a bleh attraction.
