OR they accidentally put the wrong date in and have since fixed it?

I guess that is probably right. The email I got said the train will operate through December 30 and they asked me to tell them where I found the information so they could correct it.

How would you guys feel about one of these coming to the park?

No, I am not saying that one is coming, but at only $7Million, that's pretty cheap for a family thrill coaster

Sounds Interesting... It looks like it would be something that older people and teens could enjoy while still keeping it mild enough for younger kids. It would also be a good ride to get in between bigger rides since it is only 7 million dollars and Silver Dollar City has no ride quite like it.

Interesting.  Very interesting.

I'm not sure, I rode a similar ride at SFMM and even their toned down ride was a one and done type ride for me....the brake run at the end of the ride hurt bad being slammed into the restraints while almost upside down. We had several guys age 16 - 40...all of us thought it was a crazy ride, but none of us wanted to ride it again.

Unless S&S improved the ride experience drastically, I don't really see this fitting well in SDC.

Are you talking about X2 or Green Lantern.  This will be more like Green Lantern BUT with a gentler layout.  ZacSpins can be rather violent

I certainly wouldn't not ride it. Make it a cool, themed dark ride (in a starry cave maybe?, idk) and I'd be happier, but that would go against the point of saving money, I'm guessing.  Not my first choice, but could be a lot worse.

Green Lantern.

Not my cup of tea. I'd probably ride it once since I've never been on anything like it, but I can't imagine wanting to ride it more than that.

I do not think it would be my cup of tea. Maybe one time, but not something I would line up for over and over again. Give me a true classic wooden coaster that is just flat out fast.

Does it have to invert?  All we need is a kick tail junior woodie like Wooden Warrior that folks rave about or a custom family suspended.

No, no inversions , barrel rolls or any upside down tricks. Just a flat out tall, steep, flat out fast out and back true woodie. Take the old screaming eagle and put it on steroids.

Seriously guys?  Let's be honest - your next coaster is either going to be a Firechaser Express semi-clone or a wingcoaster (Wild Eagle).  It really isn't up for discussion, those are the two options.

I would love to see SDC get a B&M wing coaster. I love Wildfire and I've never ridden a wing coaster and they look like a lot of fun. Also, a wing coaster would be something completely different that SDC doesn't have.
