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 :lol:

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

^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.
It's been a long time

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.
