NewsPlusNotes is reporting that track installation has been completed for Dorney Park’s new/old ride Stinger. Stinger was moved from California’s Great America this year, and while small it went up very quickly, and should be ready for opening day 2012.

Skyrush Track Installed
Skyrush track has finally been installed at Hersheypark. The first track installed is at the bottom of the first drop and it looks like they will be installing the rest of the track while simultaneously working on the lift hill. Check out the photos in the ThemeParkReview forums.
Leviathan Lift Hill Topped Off
From PCW_Nut at ThemeParkReview
Leviathan’s 306 foot lift hill has been crowned this week, and it looks beautiful. The new style large spine hill looks eerily under-supported and should add to the thrill of the ride. The next element also looks like it will have a lot of forces and we can’t wait to see the rest of the ride go up. Check out all the photos from PCW_Nut at the ThemeParkReview forum.

Mt. Olympus Wants to Know What to add Next
Mt. Olympus Wanter and Theme Park has asked their Facebook fans what they should add to the park next. Of course you know our answer, but it looks like the majority of people would like to see the indoor water park expanded. Given their current building, they would probably need to construct either an addition or another building to add any new slides. Of course we would also like to see them take better care of their current roller coaster collection, especially to give Zeus some love.
Skyrush at Hersheypark “Vertical” Construction
Keystone Thrills has a new Skyrush construction update up that shows off the first support to go vertical. It is the lift motor support, so it only sort of counts, but the crane is on site and full vertical construction should start shortly. Given the footer completion status I would expect the track to go up relatively quickly as we’ve seen with Wild Eagle this year.
