Project 2011 Update #3

From Screamscape:


2011/2012 - New Attractions - Rumor - (4/16/10) A reader used a Google measurement tool to trace the new 2011 coaster layout in order to get an estimated overall track length for the new ride. They’ve come back with an estimated length of around 4,653 feet. If I’m not mistaken, this would make it the second longest coaster in the South-East US… with only Intimidator at Carowinds beating it with 5,300 feet, and just above Goliath at Six Flags over Georgia which clocks in at 4,480 feet.


So not only will it be the second-longest coaster in the Southeastern USA, it will be the longest coaster in Florida and the longest coaster in the park. Well, it's inaccurate with hills and stuff, so it could be even longer. So, here is a rank of the Top 10 longest coasters in the SE USA (I'm counting NC, SC, GA, and FL) (this may be inaccurate):

1. Intimidator - Carowinds - 5316 ft.
2. PROJECT 2011 - Busch Gardens Tampa - 4653 ft. (or even more)
3. Goliath - Six Flags Over Georgia - 4480 ft.
4. Expedition Everest - Animal Kingdom - 4424 ft.
5. Kraken - SeaWorld Orlando - 4177 ft.
6. Montu - Busch Gardens Tampa - 3983 ft.
7. Kumba - Busch Gardens Tampa - 3978 ft.
8. Thunder Road - Carowinds - 3819 ft.
9. Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit - Universal Studios Florida - 3800 ft.
10. Time Machine - Freestyle Music Park - 3738 ft.
