Happy Saturday!
So rumors have been flying all over the damn place lately to the point I left it was time for yet another "Rumor Round-Up". So get comfortable! We've got a lot of juicy materiel to cover here today!
Please remember, these are RUMORS and have not yet been confirmed!
So let's get started!
Cedar Point
Location: Sandusky, Ohio
RUMOR: 2013 B&M Wing Coaster
Cedar Point may well be building in 2013. A new Wing Coaster from B&M is the rumor floating around right now. The Sandusky Register posted up a 'leaked' document stating that Disaster Transport and Space Spiril will be removed to make way for project "CP Alt.Winged" in 2013.
"Cedar Fair stands ready to spend big money on a new roller coaster for 2013 at Cedar Point that will change the park landscape.
Code-named “CP Alt.Winged,” the coaster will have the “longest drop, run the fastest and be the longest ride” of its kind, Cedar Fair CEO Matt Ouimet wrote in Feb. 15 memo to Cedar Fair’s board of directors."

Screamscape: Industry News, Green Track?!
Disney Imaingeering/ Project Avatar/Testing
Location: Orlando, Florida
RUMOR: Testing for AvatarLand?
This came as a bit of a surprise to me, Could it be Disney is starting testing on some of their "AvatarLand" projects? This article seems to show they may just be doing that!
Universal Orlando Resort
Location: Orlando, Florida
CONFIRMED: Universal to add Themed Resort
Universal Orlando Confirmed that they will be adding a new resort to their growing collection of on-property hotels. Also to be run by Loews Hotels, Cabana Bay Beach Resort will be a family friendly property as well as "High Value" which really means "Budget Hotel" for those not familiar with the lingo.
"Universal’s Cabana Bay Beach Resort will offer two distinct experiences within the development’s multiple buildings: 900 family suites, capable of sleeping six, that include kitchen areas and 900 standard guest rooms – offering both moderate- and value-priced accommodations. It will be operated by Loews Hotels & Resorts and is scheduled to open in 2014."
Six Flags Magic Mountian
Location: LosAngelos, California
CONFIRMED: Lex Luthor "Drop Tower".
For this, let my quote one of my favorite writers over on Theme Park Insider, Jeff Elliott. Simply because he sums this up perfectly, at least in my opinion!
"Let’s super glue a drop tower onto the Superman tower so that we can
use it some of the time while Superman is down for one of its many
maintenance issues…..and thus was born Lex Luther’s Drop of Doom…..which
just opened. Some of the other drunken rants that didn’t quite make it
onto the fabled napkin include all of them going down to Disney to
punch the Mouse right in the nose, taking sidewalk chalk over to
Universal to write signs that say “Magic Mountain is cheaper and has
more than 6 rides”, and some sort of launched roller coaster that uses
the old tunnels through the middle of the mountain."
Discovery Cove
Location: Orlando, Florida
CONFIRMED: Freshwater Oasis is Now Open!
"Now Open is Freshwater Oasis, an all-new attraction featuring wading
adventures and face-to-face encounters with playful otters and curious
marmosets. Designed with a rainforest canopy above and sparkling-clear
springs below, Freshwater Oasis is a natural fit within Discovery Cove’s
tropical vibe. You can relax and explore. You’ll wade, wonder, and
float in the water-filled trails. No matter where you turn, you’ll find
endless discoveries. "
Disney World
Location: Orlando, Florida
RUMOR: Master Plans for 50th Anniversary
Screamscape has a GREAT bunch of pieces devoted to the "Disney Master Plan" which continues some information on what we could be looking at for the big 2021 "50th's Anniversary". Also notice how Epcot has once again been completely left out in the cold?
Epcot Center
Location: Orlando, Florida
RUMOR: New Illuminations/Nighttime Show
Rumor has it that Illuminations may be going threw a change soon. The Video Globe could well be retired with water-screens and fountains taking it's place in various areas of the World Showcase Lagoon.
Freestyle Music Park
Location: Myrtle Beach, South Carolina
CONFIRMED: Land purchased for "Hard Rock Hotel" sold in auction.
Freestyle Music Park is still closed with no buyers in site. Due to the fact this little park folded within it's very first year of operations, it's not a big surprised the extra land purchased by "Hard Rock" for their hotel plans got thrown to the chopping block.
