- Hi Kristy and other enthusiasts,
- I have a press clipping showing construction earlier this year; in
- it there is a shot of trackage looking similar to the Jet Star varitey. If
- I recall correctly, the ride is kind of a scenic railway type, with no
- inversions, probably a mild version of Zambezi Zinger (Worlds of Fun,
- Kansas City, Missouri) or The Whizzer (Great America, Gurnee, Illinois).
- I haven't heard if the ride is up and running, and I don't know of anyone
- yet who has ridden it. Anyone else out there have more info? How about
- the MN locals?
-
- keep on coastin',
- Tom.
