Iron Rattler looks like it's going to be pretty badass. Can't wait to ride it.

I love how so many of them claim to be the first wooden ride with an inversion included. Let's see which one gets finished first!

That'll probably be Outlaw run. Idk how far along it is now, but this summer when I was there it had the first drop and initial extreme over bank already up.

2013 will also be the year that Elitch Gardens finally gets another coaster - the former X Coaster from Magic Springs. It will be located on the old Flying Coaster site, on which land clearing began in October. The park usually waits to announce new rides until March, so it should be official by then.

^ Oh really? That seems perfect for Elitch. The ride is going to look great in that skyline. Yet another kinda crappy looping shuttle coaster. I went on it in MS, pretty ok.

Gatekeeper just blew my mind. I did not even think that was a real coaster type and look at that... B&M's made 6!

Good summary topic.

SW7 is miles behind I'm starting to think. I think the general consensus is that it should be way more complete than this:
