Busch Gardens Williamsburg fans are mourning the impending closure of the Big Bad Wolf roller coaster, which the park announced today would make its final run on Sept. 7.
Universal Studios Hollywood promises backstage updates from Halloween Horror Nights creative director John Murdy, via new Twitter and Facebook pages.
The Orlando Sentinel has a fun story about Walt Disney World's cast member canoe races, now in their 37th year in Florida. I paddled in the CROW when I worked TSI back in 1990. Despite being on the MK West team, which supposedly had a "home river" advantage, we got smoked. And soaked. And my arms hurt for days afterward.
Cedar Fair's found a way to make millions of dollars during this recession. It's selling land. The amusement park chain pocketed $50 million by selling 85 acres of land next to Canada's Wonderland. A land for coaster swap? Maybe not. Cedar Fair said it will use the money to pay down corporate debt.

Robert, please try to get some great shots of this soon-to-be-gone classic. I wept a little when the announcement was made.
I personally feel that the suspended coaster never got the acclaim it deserved. IMHO, no coaster style created the sensation of flight like suspendeds. There is a freedom, in the swinging sensation, that only they can provide. The inverted and flying coasters were the beginning of the end for the suspended style. We will start to see the remaining suspended coasters fall by the wayside as well.
I would love to see Disney or Universal try their hand at a themed version. This style is great for the whole family.
