Most inverts in one park? Luckily, they're all from different manufacturers.

I think it's the one from California's Great America
Quote from their website
After 12 years of service at California's Great America, Cedar Fair has decided to move the ride to another Cedar Fair park and open up a new opportunity for Great America.

This is a business decision that is taking into consideration all of the Cedar Fair properties and allowing us to infuse capital into another park while opening up a great opportunity for a new attraction at Great America.

Although we do not discuss future plans that are not definite, our Corporate Design team has evaluated the location and plans are underway for the future of the location

I think it will be a good addition. Its not really an omg type experience but these rides are lots of fun, and Dorney's not really buying a new ride, its just being moved from CGA. I look at it more like why not?

Still not convinced by having two inverted shuttle coasters in one park. I wonder how 'obvious' it is to the GP?

Also, I've slightly renamed, and stickied, this topic. :D

^ I think possessed and stinger are quite different rides though. I dont think its a problem capacity wise, because hydra talon and steel force all have great capacity. I couldnt really care less, its a new ride and will be good at dorney

But having them right next to each other is something different...

The land of inverted shuttle coasters!!

Well they're right next to each other.............but knowing the GP they won't notice a thing.

On the other hand, Posessed is actually a good coaster, as for Stinger........... :(

^ boomerangs are solid enjoyable rides ..... when theyre not too rouhgh.
So an inverted facing each other boomerang is fairly exciting. A good adittion for dorney right now.

At least it's like nothing else in the park right?

^I guess so, even though it's the same type it is is a completely different layout...like an Intamin rocket coaster and a mega-lite (well, sort of)

As long as they go up the vertical ascents/descents together then yes...a near miss point with 2 trains full of screaming peeps! :)

What...?

I don't think having two Inverted Shuttles is as criminal as two B&M Hypers, cause at least they do the same thing.

^ i totally agree with you in all ways, i do feel this will not effect anything or anyone in anyway I do like the ride The location does not matter to me, To most dorney park fans i think the thing that most matters is the fact they willl be getting a new coaster thats all.

^ Click on that link I just posted and theres a photo of the ride (animation idk)
Its a light blue and teal sort of like Leviathan.
Will look really good in the park as they have no light blue color roller coasters like this.
