New amusement park rides for 2008...

MARINELAND: Since they received their ride late in the season last year, the Topple Tower will be the new ride they'll promote this year. If you're looking for a big ride that just about everyone in the family can go on, this is it. But even without a new ride, it's Marineland - I love this place! Opening date is May 17th.

FANTASY ISLAND: Flight will be their new ride this year - it's a 140-foot tall swings ride! It's an excellent replacement for the drop tower. There'll also be a new kiddie ride this year called the Grand Circus Menagerie.

DARIEN LAKE: They've yet to make their announcement, but I'm anxiously awaiting it! I'm kind of hoping for a new spin ride.

Number one on my wish list is the Frisbee. Canobie Lake, a New Hampshire park similar to Darien Lake, got one last year. It was the highlight of the park. And because it can hold so many people, they were able to run it for a long cycle and still manage to keep the lines short. See this awesome creation in action here.

I would also be ecstatic to see a Chaos, Tango, Disk'O, Breakdance, or Fly Away.

Four more months and they'll be open for the season! But I'm thinking an announcement will be a lot sooner than that. I'll let you know when I hear anything...
