Alright everybody, we are half way through the month of May and we still do not have perfect score on this month's coaster quiz. Last month, MorganFan aced the quiz with a perfect 8/8 and Mike Strobel was just one off with 7/8 correct. Right now our leader is eddie200330 with 7/8 and seven people have completed the quiz. So we are putting a bounty on the quiz this month. Anyone who can complete the May coaster quiz with a perfect score will receive one of our signature "Quit Dreaming, Start Screaming" COASTER-net T-shirts. That's right, you will get a free T-shirt if you can get all 8 questions on this month's quiz right.
First order of business, we are clearing our Women's Fitted Tees to make way for new products. This is the last chance to get our signature "Quit Dreaming, Start Screaming" T-shirts in women's sizes and we currently have them on clearance for just $4.99! We currently still have all sizes available (s - 2xl), but supplies are limited so order yours now before they run out. And here is the big news of the day, for all of you who have been wanted COASTER-net shirts in other colors besides white, we now have a full range of color options for our brand new LOGO T-Shirt on our Cafe Press Store starting at $20.99.
Our very own Devin Olson recently made it out to Dorney Park to take some photos of its latest addition for the 2012 season, Stinger. Head on over to the Ride Gallery page for this coaster to check out the new photos and learn a bit about the coaster and its history!
Cedar Fair isn't the only company that is bringing dinosaurs back to life for their guests. Sea World Gold Coast in Australia has announced that they will be bringing dinosaurs to their park for the 2012 season. According to e Travel Blackboard the park will be taking guests more than 65 million years into the past with displays of life-size dinosaurs, skeleton displays, and replica fossils from both the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods. One of the star attractions will be a huge Tyrannosaurus Rex. In addition to the dinosaurs guests will be able to explore an indoor jungle display, a fossil center, and an outdoor forest that is home to the dinosaurs.
Bluegrass Boardwalk is becoming less a dream and more a reality by the week. Dan Koch recently announced an exact date that his family is aiming to open the park - May 11th, 2013. "We've got financing approved,” Koch told wdrb.com. “We have to have the mortgage placed on the property, and the governor signs the lease, and we're good to go.” As COASTER-net reported just weeks ago, Bluegrass Boardwalk, Inc recently got approval for tax incentives. It intends to invest upwards of $15 million into the former Six Flags park. Much of the investment is going into sprucing up pre-existing rides and buildings on the property, but also into new additions.

China's Only 4-D Coaster Opens
Dinoconda Makes Its Debut
May 16, 2012 - Coasterholic14
The Dino Land theme park in Changzhou, China, about two hours west of Shanghai, recently opened its newest coaster. Dubbed Dinoconda, the $20 million coaster is one of just three fourth-dimension coasters built by Arrow/S&S in the entire world, and Dino Land’s is the only in China. The only other fourth-dimension (4D) coasters are X2 at Six Flags Magic Mountain, Eejanaika at Fuji-Q Highland in nearby Japan. Like those coasters, Dinoconda features seats on the outside of the coaster, with independently rotating seats. The rotation of the seats is controlled by a second rail running along the course, which causes the seats to roll forward or backward by moving the rail closer to and further from the train.
