If that picture is the construction area, I believe that means they are finally going to start tearing into all that acreage currently used by the dormant landing strip.
 
So the first image is a Frisbee that goes all the way around...what's the other?
 
^^It's a family fun ride called The Barnstormer.
Are there any more of these 360 degree Frisbees? I don't recall ever seeing one, but the park isn't claiming it as a world's first. Does anyone know the manufacturer - HUSS, Zamperla or a different company?
Also what's happening to the drop tower? Are they moving it or getting rid of it altogether?
Sorry - nothing to add but questions.
Oh, and I want to ride it! :--D

As the Barnstormer is a Zamperla ride, I would think the frisbee is aswell.
And I don't know either, but it'll be the tallest of it's kind, the frisbee.
 
Well, not the Stingray some were calling it to be, but still, flats are way too rare and this looks like it would be a good one.

The frisbee is made by SBF Visa.
So it's a "Dance Party"? http://www.sbfrides.com/production.asp? ... ANCE_PARTY

Interestingly enough, SBF don't list a 360° "big" Dance Party but do a Mini Dance Party that does, so it looks like they've left the two in a candlelit room together, supplied them with a bottle of wine, played some Barry White and let nature take it's course.

Therefore it could be a world's first with the park is billing it as a "first in America" due to the inwards looking that occasionally happens in America.
 
That would be naff. The best thing about those rides is the airtime when it changes direction. By inverting, it's just hang-time hell.

I would think that these would be like the non-inverters & change direction multiple times (giving airtime) to build up momentum before inverting.
