What ever happened to the new woody at Ca Great America?

[Miri]

I remember reading in news stories back in 07 that California's Great America was supposed to be debuting a new wooden coaster for the 2009 season. I can't seem to find any news stories since then talking about it. I was just wondering, since I don't live in the area and can't check for my self, what happened? There is nothing on the CGA website even referencing a new coaster, no news stories about it actually being build and no photos. Just curious if the idea has been scrapped or if they are still working on it.

i think it was just a rumor because i asked the manager of the park about it last year and he said they werent planning on doing that.
So yeah it was probably a rumor

There were legal issues concerning noise complaints among other things. It will not be built this or next season.

So it was a rumor that they printed in the newspapers and had concept art for, and people were complaining about noise at a park that already has multiple roller coasters? I doubt either of those stories. Sounds more like a budget issue to me.

No, it is an issue with the surrounding companies' concerns with the ADDED noise that the coaster will cause.
