Two huge Ohio
attraction announcements occurred this week. Though details on both are sketchy
at best I still can’t help feeling extremely excited for both. It’s an exciting
time of year and a good era to be living in Ohio.
First, the Sandusky Register is reporting that world famous
amusement park Cedar Point will be building a new, record breaking B&M wing
roller coaster for next season. At a cost of $25 million, the new ride will be
170 feet tall and is being billed as the longest and fastest wing coaster in
the world. The bad news is two attractions have to be removed to make room –
Space Spiral and Disaster Transport. These are two rides which the entire
family can enjoy together. I hope they add a series of new family friendly
rides after the new coaster is built.

The second surprising news is our first glimpse at what the
new Safari Africa expansion at the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium is going to look
like. The zoo recently released and overhead layout rendering of the expansion,
will be north of the current North America and
Polar Frontier regions.
This new addition is on top of the new Stingray Bay
interactive touch pool exhibit being added to the zoo this summer. It’s been
awhile since we’ve been out there so we’ll have to go back soon to see what the
status is on both of these projects.

expansion. Be sure to subscribe to the site and follow me on Twitter for the

I don’t know about you but 2013
and 2014 can’t come soon enough.
