I think you meant "shots" in that second asterisk'd word.

That I did

Grizzly closed early for the season so that the park could undertake some offseason retracking. Work got a little more extensive when they removed it's tunnel the other week, and then pictures began coming out this weekend of the lift like this. Current word is that this was intentional, although I've seen a suggestion that they had begun deconstructing the lift top only for what was left of Hurricane Ian to take out a bit more.

Höllenblitz's appearance at Hyde Park Winter Wonderland 2022 has been officially cancelled shortly after the ride was removed from the fair's website.
The replacement, if any, is currently unknown.
Höllenblitz is an in-house spinning coaster that primarily takes place indoors.

Oh ffs, please be Alpina Bahn <3
That would be something. Although there are a few exceptions, like Dusseldorf's Rhein Kirmes every now and then, Alpina Bahn and Olympia Looping really only appear together at the Oktoberfest. Alpina Bahn also has a much larger footprint than Höllenblitz, so would Winter Wonderland have the additional space required?

If anyone is in the STL area, there's a new alpine coaster credit you can grab: https://www.ksdk.com/article/entert...inois/63-001d8124-4033-4d59-9205-24fa4261017e
In case you can't access the article: "GRAFTON, Ill — Aerie's Resort, a winery and lodge offering entertainment attractions on a bluff overlooking Grafton, has added Illinois' first alpine coaster.
Aerie's worked with Wiegand Sports USA during the winter to build the coaster, which opened to riders Sept. 30 and will have its grand opening Tuesday at 600 Timber Ridge Road in Grafton. Wiegand has more than 270 installations worldwide.
The gravity-fed, two-person coaster sled takes riders down Aerie's limestone bluff on more than 3,000 feet of a stainless-steel rail system. The ride runs past seasonal foliage, twisting around limestone outcroppings along the natural river bluff landscape at speeds of up to 28 miles per hour, officials said. The ride includes seven hairpin turns and eight waves, according to a press release.
At the end of the run, a cable system pulls the sled and rider up 875 feet to return to the coaster's starting point.
Aerie's Alpine Coaster will be open year round. Tickets costs $18 per person or three rides for $36. Subject to height restrictions, children can ride the coaster with an adult for an additional $10 per ticket."

Drifting Coaster is rumoured to have been sold out of Europe.
It's a very strange ride haha.
"Three of the rides are in place — the observations wheel, the Aerobar and one of the roller coasters," according to Paradise Pier Fun Park/Margaritaville Resort Biloxi spokeswoman Tessy Lambert.
"The other 12 rides are on the way from where they were manufactured in Europe," she said, "and Paradise Pier Fun Park will open once all are in place. The rides are being delivered by boat and we’re at the mercy of the shippers.”
Don't get too excited about her saying "one of the roller coasters", since the other is actually a Disk'O ride.
