Laff Trakk Construction Plows on at Hershey Park

It's been a while since we've heard anything out of Hershey Park and the construction of their newest dark coaster, Laff Trakk, but there's been progress being made over the past couple months!

Things are starting to go vertical on the world's first Indoor Spinning "Glow Coaster". From the newest pictures, we can see just where the ride building will fit in with things and the skyline a little bit more. Still, not much but at least it's getting there, right? If you're curious about just what Laff Trakk will be like to ride, check out our coverage of the announcement.

Anyway, here's a couple of shots that the Hershey PA Twitter account tossed up just a little bit ago!



Stay tuned for more updates from Hershey Park and everyone else that's building for 2015 by sticking right here or follow us on Twitter, Google+, Tumblr and Facebook for all the latest!

Coaster Giant B&M to build their First Family Inverted Coaster

 Coaster Giant B&M to build First Family Inverted Coaster.

 While the coaster company Bolliger and Mabillard may be known for their giant ride, it seems their doing a first for the Happy Valley Park in China.

 The company isn't known to build smaller, family style coasters but according to Roller Coaster Database it seems they are now. These small, inverted family coasters are normally the mark of Vekoma Coasters but it seems B&M is now getting into the game. They normally run only a single coaster train and sit only two people per row.

 The currently unnamed coaster is being installed at Happy Valley Park in Shanghai, China.
