I've never ridden Clipper. So I'm glad it was just a false rumor.

My thoughts were filled with excitement at first and I thought Hoffman was using reverse psychology if you will because it got out too early, then it metioned 12 inversions and I really did not beleive it was true at all. Then when the rumor was that PAX was to create it, I was hoping it wasnt true...I really dislike pax :? Eh, yuk! If it said Intamin it would be more beleivable but its a stupid rumor that someone knew would stir up people just as its doin now, so he/she succeeded in doing that...

just another rumor, but if it were real than it would be cool, but that is a big if.
I'm running to Bull on opening day, anyone gets in my way and they'll get trampled.

Or not.

"It's a hoax," said Great America Public Relations Manager Michelle Hoffman of an "Internal Memo" anonymously mailed to The News Sun Friday. "It's not accurate at any level," Hoffman said.

i saw the memo last week, i thought it could've been true for maybe three seconds, and then shook to my senses and realized it was false.

There are many restrictions, like noise, complaints, airports, etc.

There are a few topics like this including one I started, this topic is about a rumor nothing more and a 300ft coaster by pax :roll: ehh!

I may be wrong, but if we were getting a new coaster, wouldn't it have been announced by now? To give people more incentive to get season passes for next year (the ones that don't have one already)?

Not really, some parks such as AT keep it a "secret" for guests to find out alot later. Which I think would be quite cool, and correct me if Im wrong but SUF wasnt even announced till january. I have a newspaper article from January saying what was to come in '03 8)
