^ I bet anyone with a time machine could tell you. Since there are revisions, we won't know until the park releases details later this month.

Won't know yet, not until the 29th. As far as we know, assuming not the entire thing was changed, the first drop will be wrapping around the park's observation tower. I'm sure there's lots of other surprises we don't know about.

I wouldn't count on it at the moment, especially since that comment was made back in December last year, only for the article to suddenly no longer exist. Only time will tell, and Boomerang Bay could use a few more slides, honestly. I would just keep checking back at this page for happenings at the park, I check it every week, sometimes every other day to every day religiously:

I'm sure there's other loyal CGA fans/TPR members who do the same :)

I'll be at the park tomorrow to check this out. Yea, there's another event going on there but the slightly cooler weather should make for some good waterpark action! And of course, I will have more photos of the happenings at the park.

I wonder if CGA is dusting off those short-lived Demon mine props from 2008 for Gold Striker...

Can't wait for the 29th!

I almost forgot all about those props. Speaking of which, I wonder why it fizzled away. I wouldn't be surprised if those props see the light of day again either.

I don't remember those... though I don't know if I went to CGA in '08. Anyone have a picture? Where were they at?
