New For 2010

Since Victoria Day weekend just ended and Memorial Weekend is on its way, this means that the coaster season is in full swing. Here are some coasters that are new this season.

Endor- L'Attaque
La Ronde, Montreal, PQ

Your standard SLC. I don't know why LaRonde put this in as they already have a B&M Inverted, Le Vampire. Also, a fun fact about Endor - L'Attaque is that its actually is La Ronde backwards.

Flying Turns
Knoebels Amusement Park & Resort, Elysburg, PA

This has been in the construction phase for a while now, and its now finally open. Its really cool how they have taken an old coaster concept and re-did it.

Intimidator
Carowinds, Charlotte, NC

This is a B&M Mega Coaster, this looks like a really good coaster. I mean it's a B&M how can it not be good. One thing I don't really get is the theme of the ride, like I don't get how a racecar is themed into a roller coaster, this could be because I don't follow NASCAR.

Intimidator 305
Kings Dominion, Doswell,

This is an Intamin Hyper Coaster. From the videos that I have seen of this coaster it seems that it is just banked turns at high speeds, which in my opinion looks kind of boring.

These are only 4 of the many coasters that are new this year.
