I have to say, I've been pretty impressed by these new Family Suspended Coasters. This and Orkanen look like really solid family attractions and if one opened in the UK I really wouldn't mind at all.
Edit: Can't wait to see this testing too!

Haha, I love the fact that it uses the station to slow it down, it looks so much fun! Less time faffing on block sections!
TPR have uploaded a video of a news report from the park showing off Freedom Fighter:

Not sure it's worth starting a new topic for Fun Spot so thought I may as well use this one.
Fun Spot are having to remove their Zamperla Air Race, which is a travelling model, due to maintenance and safety issues. Apparently some of the arms are continuing to swing for 2-3 minutes after the ride cycles has ended before locking into place. Sounds like it's an issue with the model they have and it's proving tricky to resolve. They are however looking into getting a permanent Air Race to relace the travelling model, you'd think Zamperla may give them one at a reduced price considering the problems.

Bump!
White Lightning is a fantastic little woodie with great pacing and pops of airtime. Even better when you can just go round and round without getting off as it's so quiet!
In other news, expect a Fun Spot expansion soon with a new coaster (taller than current coasters but shorter track length), a log flume ride and a dark ride!

The new coaster is said to be a launched! Which would be good for them, they need another coaster with a gimmick really.
I do love Fun spot, we had quite a lot of fun there. It's bit pricey, but the Expedia desk at out hotel had 7 day passes for $53, which was good value ($45+tax for one day). Wristbands include the go karts too, which helps a lot!
