-
- A world-record setting Shoot-The-Chutes water ride (read, not a coaster!),
- to be titled SNAKE RIVER FALLS. The ride will be located in the
- Frontierland section of the park.

-
- You mean the PIPELINE roller coaster? To my knowledge, Arrow is still working
- on it. There were rumors of a sale of one of these things earlier in 1992,
- but there will not be one installed in 1993, and as of this time (and to my
- knowledge), not in 1994 either (read - the 1994 Arrow contrats I've heard
- about have not included a PIPELINE).

- ACE's Membership Director, Gary Aulfinger, has an on-line account for
- just such purposes. Send ACE membership questions to:

- Well, it's hard to say. *My* opinion is that it will be one of the
- Bollinger and Mabillard coaster going in this year -- KUMBA - 7 loop
- sitdown at Busch Gardens Tampa, BATMAN--THE RIDE - 5 loop Inverted
- at Six Flags Great Adventure (NJ), or TOP GUN - 3 loop Inverted
- at Paramount's Great America (CA). There are also rumors of a 2 loop
- B&M stand-up going in later this year at Six Flags Great Adventure in
- New Jersey.
