RCDB has listed and posted some photos of this new-for-2016 coaster. http://rcdb.com/7410.htm#

Although I have yet to ride Lightning Run, I'm hoping to see another of those mega-lites being built.

Wildlife World is a Zoo and Aquarium located in Litchfield Park, a suburb of Phoenix, Arizona. It already has many rides including a log flume, skyride, carousel, safari tram, African train and Australian boat ride. All the attractions are pay-per-ride and this will be the park's first coaster.

Phoenix already has Castles n' Coasters and Enchanted Island, so another coaster as well as a possible new park near the Grand Canyon in 2017 (viewtopic.php?f=3&t=38742) could make Arizona a great add-on for any enthusiasts planning a trip to Las Vegas.

"Family coaster" though, rather than "Lightning Run"-esque?

Has it been confirmed as a Mega lite now, since I've heard it will rather be their Big Dipper model, meaning, it will be more of a family coaster than a Lightning Run kind of ride?

The track certainly does not look like Lightning Run's. It's also much smaller, so I'd almost guarantee it's a family coaster.

Well, Enchanted Island seems to be a Children only credit now, but there is an EF Miller I think about 20 minutes NW of Phoenix.

Regardless, anything will be interesting to be put near there

^It's actually Miler Manufacturing. It's called Gravity Roller Coaster and it's at Schnepf Farms, which is about 40 miles SE of Phoenix.

Thats the one ECG. A friend of mine did a small trip to get it while visiting friends and talked about it on facebook/ello.

Remember this thing? Well it's done. It's been done for a while, actually.

It's an alright family coaster, probably comparable to that of a Zierer Tivoli. The name appears to be simply 'Family Coaster'. And it is indeed Chance(hence why they uploaded the POV).

The coaster hasn't actually opened to the public yet, but I've gone ahead a unsticked it since construction is finished and I won't remember to do it once the thing actually opens. :p
