^I would assume that's every dollar spent on the project. From demo of the old water ride, land clearing, the ride itself, foundations, installation, etc., it adds up quick, even if the ride itself is only a few million dollars.

Exit path should be this enclosed box: Incredibly interested to see how the station gates look here. Not a lot of room on that new platform, especially with the steel structure of the canopy jutting out so far out:

Exclusivity deals between a park & ride manufacturer are a thing that can happen (ex. If Cedar Point put in a 500ft spike, they could "buy" a guarantee that Zamperla wouldn't retrofit Kingda Ka and reset the height record until [X] amount of years later) at the right price; probably an insane...

How are a single one of you actually entertaining any of this? 2 or 3 major coasters, a dozen flat rides, and a log flume overhaul being added for NEXT YEAR (read: zero current construction, it's the end of July), at a Six Flags park? Are you comprehending what you're reading? That's quite...

I was just doing that last night! Very fun puzzling this together. I think this piece will complete the triangle for the two footers on the station side of Iron Dragon, and then will bridge over Iron Dragon connecting to the spike itself. Something like this:

If it was an Ultra Surf, what DC character theme would make sense with that blue & orange color scheme? Aquaman like SFOT would've made sense, but the colors don't IMO. (Assuming these supports are for the Ultra Surf, as these pieces are the same, which would imply 2 of the same structure)

Your drawing is almost certainly what will happen. Except the "inner" circle is the supports for the track, and the "outer" circle is [probably] the supports for the catwalks. You can see these here, where there isn't an obvious track connection plate, rather this little "shelf": Weird way to...

^That project document is specifically for the ride foundations. Based on these new plans found by Parkfans, this appears to be to be the full plot of land able to be used here: Station building, per the plans, is approximately in the red area. I don't think it's quite large enough for a...

It's been "known" B&M for a while.

TRACK!

Interesting, complex question. More cars per train does mean more riders, but it also means that the layout has to be designed "carefully", or in a way that doesn't exert too many forces on the front/end of the train. This will likely result in a less thrilling ride, as the train is less capable...

New track code, FS-A! @roomraider time to update your spreadsheet😂😂 Very likely that'll be on a truck to Orlando soon; The abbreviation probably for Family Sitting/Sitdown coaster, as their family inverts are labeled "FI-__". Looks like a much narrower gauge of track as well.

The Racing theme is staying!

Pretty sure it's the original track, that was shipped to Zamperla for them to paint it white and install their brakes on. Same with the launch track. Project "High Point" sure sounds like it'll be a sizeable spike. I was assuming it'd be in the 300-400' range, but that may indicate they're...

If it does become Full Throttle/Icon colors, I won't be disappointed by that. Fits with the alleged space theme IMO. However, the going rumor is that according to one of the painters on the project, that will indeed be the color scheme; but with alternating red/white track on the tophat. If a...

😯🍿 The paddock section could stay as is, this would be cool for the 2nd half though. Always thought the track should have been InGen blue. Or, really, just some color other than bake-in-the-sun black.

This one I have faith they'll get open. The SFOG one, not so much. That being said, the supports look hand-assembled & probably take less than 15 minutes each, so these will fly up when the ground is ready for it.

Boy, it's been a few years since this one! Updated list, bold ridden since OG post: 1. Steel Vengeance - Haven't ridden since 2019 but still the king to me. 2. Iron Gwazi - Unreal. Believe I've shared my thoughts on this somewhere before. 3. ArieForce One - WOW what a ride. First couple...

It has to be 😂 But even then, the height requirement is gonna be the make or break here. In no scenario should this tame of a ride have a 48" height requirement. I sure hope B&M can modify/create a restraint to allow for 42" at least. They absolutely should have got on Vekoma's waitlist for a...

Definitely wish this was a year earlier so all parties could have a real-world proof of concept before the other one. But nice to see this progressing.
