Another Polercoaster Announced for Atlantic City! Now going to be the 2nd Tallest Polercoaster in the World!

That's right, US Thrill Rides & Intamin have landed themselves permission to build another Polercoaster in Atlantic City, New Jersey, USA. The concept just received approval at another site in Orlando weeks before this announcement.
Brand New POV of a Vekoma "Classic" called Mind Eraser! There was a period when every park seemed to be building one of these out of the box, duplicated, disaster of a theme park ride. I feel the coaster community and the general public have a pretty unanimous feeling about these roller coasters, they're terrible!
This one was also one of the roughest, and jerkiest of the variety that i've had the displeasure of experiencing (and I've been on 4 different ones). I liked Six Flags America overall, but not really this ride. Somehow, I did manage to ride it twice. It's tucked away in the back of a corner of the park though so not a very "high traffic" area to begin with.
I'm glad that Vekoma has redesigned their track models, i wish parks would give them a chance, because i've heard they give alot better ride experience. Also, the new trains that Vekoma uses also improves the ride experience. Lots of parks that have these rides should at least consider doing that to help. It's not like the structures are completely unsalvageable. We've also seen now that the track on steel rides like this can be replaced. (HINT HINT SIX FLAGS)
Well this is an interesting development, I do remember hearing rumblings of a launched steel coaster at Holiday World, but never thought we'd be treated to a Bolliger and Mabillard Launched Wing-Rider. A very "out-of-left-field" kind of announcement. The ride looks fun, and fairly compact for a wing-rider. Personally, I haven't ridden one yet, but the general consensus is they seem fairly tame on the G-Force front. At any rate, watch the video's below to decide for yourselves.
Well folks, I remember writing a post back when I heard about this Crazy concept but now it seems it's becoming a reality. The world's first PoleRCoaster is being built in Emerson, Georgia of all places. The development is going to be called the LakePoint Sporting Community and will feature a multi-modal development used for children's sporting matches, shopping, entertainment, and now THRILL-SEEKERS! This will be the tallest coaster in Georgia, and the tallest in the Southeast! See the YouTube Video for a better Idea of what this will be like!
