Bing Maps #1

Well, while Bing Maps doesn't really update the bird's eye view of Universal, SeaWorld, Disney, or BGT much, they did update some Six Flags parks and Cedar Fair parks. Here are some examples:

The Best Updated (late 2008/early 2009):

Six Flags Discovery Kingdom - Odin's Temple of Tiger under construction. Tony Hawk up.

Six Flags Fiesta Texas - Goliath has arrived from Six Flags New Orleans.

Six Flags Great Adventure - Dark Knight has replaced Chiller, and Medusa is already in the process of becoming Bizarro, as the track is fully repainted blue and purple.

Six Flags New England - The Dark Knight site is cleared, and Superman is already in the process of becoming Bizarro, as the lift hill is painted purple and blue.

Dorney Park - Possessed has arrived from Geauga Lake, and Laser has been removed.

Carowinds - Nighthawk is getting repainted, Carolina Cobra is up, and the log flume is being removed for Intimidator.

Hersheypark - Fahrenheit is complete. Construction is occurring with the Shore (a wave pool).

The Medium Updated (late 2007/mid 2008)

Canada's Wonderland - Behemoth is under construction. The lift is topped off.

Kings Island - Firehawk up, and Diamondback land clearing. The Son of Beast loop is gone.

SeaWorld Orlando - Aquatica under construction and Manta land clearing.

Geauga Lake - Dominator, Thunderhawk, Steel Venom, X-Flight, and the Kiddieland section were already removed, but Villain, Head Spin (it's at Carowinds too... weird O_0), Double Loop, the Monorail, El Dorado, Black Squid, Americana, and the Sky Tower are still on site.

Knott's Berry Farm - Pony Express up.

Disney's California Adventure - Toy Story Mania under construction.

Busch Gardens Africa - Jungala under construction.

Universal Studios Hollywood - Simpsons under construction. The backlot fire has not occurred yet.

Six Flags Magic Mountain - X is becoming X2. Psyclone is gone.

Pembroke Pines (my hometown!) - West Broward High School is nearing completion.

The Not-So-Much Updated (late 2006/early 2007)


Universal Orlando - Blue Man Group under construction, Back to the Future still open (but close to closing), and no signs of Simpsons, Harry Potter, or Rockit construction.

The Worst Updated (late 2005/early 2006)

Disney (What the?!) - At Animal Kingdom, Everest is still under construction.

I Don't Know

Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom - I would assume between late 2007 and early 2009, because the Superman Tower of Power was already removed after the accident, and I think Twisted Twins is closed. Deluge is up. I can't tell if it's 2008 or 2009, because nothing changed. I'll probably know once they update it later this year. It will show either the same, or Chang getting removed. If it shows the same, I will put this in late 2007 and early 2008, but if it shows Chang coming down, I will put this in late 2008 and early 2009.

FUTURE:

By this summer, I'd expect them to update Carowinds showing Intimidator under construction, Demon Drop pieces at Dorney Park, Terminator Salvation up at SFMM, Bizarro complete at SFGAdv and SFNE, Behemoth complete at CW, Diamondback under construction at KI, Manta under construction at SWO, Double Loop, the Monorail, El Dorado, Black Squid, and Americana gone from Geauga Lake, the lagoon sunk and Sun Wheel rethemed and TSM open at DCA, Jungala open at BGT, HP and Rockit construction and Simpsons open at UOR, Pony Express open at Knott's, and Everest up at DAK.
