22. Coming Attractions -- new coasters for 94 and beyond!

A common question on rec.roller-coaster is ``What new coaster is park X getting for 1994?'' Here is the list of all announced, or at least solidly rumored coasters being built in the next couple of years.

Some of the listings have been announced, some are just rumors. If a coaster is rumored, it's listed with a '?' in the first column; if it's been officially announced, it will have a '!' in the first column. Some also may have footnotes, explaining the source(s) for the information. (I still need to gather this information. Look for it in a future version.)

  one knows what the new owners will or won't do.

* Things at Paramount Kings Dominion are getting pushed back.  Top Gun
  was originally 1995, now it's 1996, so an Aeroplane for 96 seems
  unlikely.
