It seems Universal Studios are finally putting their hands in their pockets and investing in new attractions – the new Simpson’s ride is opening very soon and now they have announced a new roller coaster for the park.

The park certainly needs some new blood – although I’m not sure whether the coaster would be more at home in Islands of Adventure next door!

The attraction is scheduled for spring 2009 and will see guests going 65mph 17 stories over the Studios while listening to a music track you select yourself before *take off* – oh and it’s all captured on video so you can share your thrills with your friends and family back home.

According to Orlando Attractions Magazine the ride touts “six near-miss moments and first-ever thrills including a record-breaking loop”. Hmm when we make the trip out next year I think I’ll remain on terra firma and just be a spectator for this one! I’m looking forward to capturing it on camera though ;0)
