Adventureland in Des Moines, IA is getting a Mondial sky swing called Storm Chaser for 2014:

Not sure how tall it will be or exactly where they're putting it in the park. Seems likely it will be the same height as the Cedar Fair models. The name Storm Chaser suggests it won't be in the Old West section of the park, which is where most of the improvements and additions over the last couple decades have been focused.
No matter what, this is a HUGE addition for Adventureland. This has to be the biggest addition to the park in twenty years - maybe ever. I sincerely hope this marks the beginning of a more progressive, modern Adventureland. It's a lovely little park, but it's been stuck for a long time, and suffers from family vs. family and family vs. city politics from time to time.
At any rate, the park is right on the edge of the Des Moines metro, so the views of the city and the countryside are going to be unbelievable on summer evenings.
