    I just got of Racer. I can confirm these survey markers. Also noticed utility markings all the way down to Monster behind the buildings. My guess, something you do with Racer.

    All joking aside, I think this could be an interesting development, because a lot of the markers focus around KillMart, with additional markers approaching the main utility lines.

    Seriously? That is pretty cool! I could see this being the start of a complete renovation for 2021. I could see the rest of the track being painted red or the new track being painted brown to match the old track. If you have any pictures, that would be great!

    I’ll try to get some. It’s in the helix away from the midway, but it’s noticeable when you ride it. The effects were pretty neat.

    I saw this on Coaster Nation’s Facebook, and I genuinely want to know what this is about because the post doesn’t really explain anything. It says Adventure Express was re-tracked and new special effects were added but I find this highly unlikely to have occurred within the last week. If anyone has ridden it today, has anything changed?

    Yes, the helix and the lower valley had new track placed (its red compared to the normal brown), and there’s new lighting effects on the final lift.

    They need something like Tantrum at Darien Lake. I feel like the park would do better if they got a modern coaster.

    They almost got one. They were going to receive a $7 million dollar D.H. Morgan hypercoaster. It would have been 210 feet tall and ran alongside Shivering Timbers. I believe it fell through when plans for the resort Hotel/Campground fell through.

    ^Are we really doing this again?  

    Show your work. 

    I think you're just  messing with us every time you come up with some witty information and fail to provide sources just to have us ask you time after time to do so.  A No Limits design doesn't count.

    If you mean that Arrow was trying to initially design suspended coasters with inversions, you'd be correct.

     

    Whether or not they'd be put in Bat on initial designs seems a bit out of the loop when KI probably didn't know what they had when trying to get the first suspended coaster.  

    There are blueprints for the original Bat showing a corkscrew, with the helixes in a different color, suggesting an alternate layout should the buyer want it.

  7. It’s interesting that the original Bat (the one opened in 1981) was designed to have corkscrews. The original ride was to feature two corkscrews-the first being before the second lift hill, and the second one being before the final turn. Some of the original design can be seen as an Easter Egg in the Orion queue. I used NoLimits 2 and recreated it.

    What if they are going to what I have been ridiculed for some time about:  An indoor eatery similar to Brewhouse with patio dining views of The Racer?  Climate controlled spaces are rare on that side of the park and with continued Winterfest success are needed.

    That is a good point. However the only section that is lacking with any sort of indoor dining is Planet Snoopy.
