(4/24/12) The Travel Channel will be showing off a couple of new shows this summer of interest to theme park fans. One is called Xtreme Waterparks and it will premier Sunday, July 8th at 8pm (EST/PST) as they seek out the world’s most over the top water slides.

The other is called Insane Coaster Wars, which will also premier on Sunday, July 8th at 9pm (EST/PST), in a series that not only seeks out the best coasters, but invites thrill seekers to vote in an interactive online poll to vote for their favorite coasters in each episode. The finale episode of the season will count down the Top 10 coasters from the season with the most votes.
When they were filming I thought it was going to be just one show. Besides Bert The Conqueror, that's how it's usually been done in the past every few years as an update. Fortunately it's a whole season of shows! I know some of you may have been at some of the shootings at various parks, so look out for yourselves in the episodes. I was @ Seaworld Orlando when they shot Manta, so I can't wait for that one to come on. I'll post in here as more details become available. ]]> Other Parks and Events cwgator http://www.floridathrills.net/f128/travel-channel-insane-coaster-wars-%40-xtreme-waterparks-7769/ Legoland FLA: Pink Knuckle Twitter Contest http://www.floridathrills.net/f179/legoland-fla-pink-knuckle-twitter-contest-7757/ Thu, 19 Apr 2012 18:47:52 GMT Legoland florida is offering a twitter contest until May 20, this contest involves creating a "pink knuckle" Roller Coaster model that is capable of holding a lego figure.
