If you want to talk about that kind of thing mrceagle, have you ever heard of the voyage of Columbus?  The Spanish wanted the land and had a lot of the south, but France and Great Britain just beat them out. I think that Spain fits in very well.
As for the post before you. Let's see... sure, Hershey could use a hyper or something but I think Storm Runner filled in a huge gap and hoping for even more is a little greedy and kind of crazy. Dorney needs that wood coaster, but they have 4 steel coasters right now, not 3  And for the last time, STEEL DOES NOT FIT AT KNOEBELS. Just my opinion I guess  And I'm not sold on either Busch Gardens or Islands of Adventure really fitting in a wood. I just don't think a wood would work well at either one.

Unfortunatly BGW will probably never get a woodie. The surrounding area just won't allow it. They have tried twice, maybe even three times. It has been voted down quickly each time. Maybe a change of heart is possible, but I doubt it.

We'll they could figure out a way to do it. they jsut need to look at a number of locationas and figure out the best one. away from naieibers and enough room for a good woodie.

I'm sure there is a location that would work. But the people over there are very rich and snobby. They have alot of pull.

Dosn't suprise me. dosn't matter that a new area would bring in jobs and more tax money. they pulled that with Disney.

^wow what a creative list. you must have really analyzed all aspects of what a park needs.
BTW Mich Adv draws about 400,000 people a year so I am guessing the investment of a hyper might be a little much.

Hold on! What about:
PKD: Racing Hyper 
There's hardly a good drop in the whole stinking park. At least not on a coaster. Sticking with the Confederate theme of Rebel Yell, it could be called Blue & Gray.

Dude PKd would throw in LIM's somewhere on there's 
Geauga has a hyper, it just so happens to be in Mexico
Holiday World: a Schwarzkopf looper. I say this because the park wants to double attendnance and they wil pretty much NEED a looper to do so. Throw in those nice Scwarzkopf 42" restrictions and you get as family-friendly of a looper as is available.
