  1. It's possible the train will just move very slowly through the shed and thematic elements and back into the station and that's how it can make the 90 degree turn smoothly.  It doesn't have to be going fast.

     

    Or maybe there will be a stupidly banked turn going into the station. *Coughcough*Vortex*cough

  2. If you look at the shed video, there is no elevation change from where the train goes in and the train comes out, and there's even see-through support structures under the shed. This is why I don't think it'll be a drop, but I agree with MagentaLizard, it'll probably be something interactive having to do with the takeover of the roots and vines and such.

    Definitely expect screens. Animatronics? Probably not.

  3. I think I've conceded that the buildings used for Haunt mazes are never going away or being replaced.

    Action Theater? Urgent Scare

    Crypt? Madame Fatelle's

    SoB station for Pete sake? Wolf Pack

    If they can leave up a Haunt building year round rather than have to set it up every Halloween they're going to do it.

  4. When I got into the Diamondback line around 9:54pm, the line was back to the entrance with no additional switch backs open. Green train is back on. I'm gonna see if I can get on the last ride

  5. I was going to go to this one with a couple of my friends, before we decided the Cedar Point one would be more interesting, since we get to go there less.  But then the storm came and it got cancelled...

     

    Plans were foiled.

  6. I went to the food trucks Friday and Saturday and here's what I got.

     

    • Friday Lunch:  Fried Green Tomato BLT and a cinnamon sugar soft pretzel from Vinnie's Pretzels
      • Although I've never had a green tomato, let alone one that is fried, the sandwiches were heavenly, and was possibly my favorite dish that I had all weekend.  The pretzel I had was ok, but it kinda tasted weird because I think it had some left over salt.
    • Friday Dinner:  Chicken Parmesan Sandwich from Bistro de Mohr
      • Felt like pre-packaged teriyaki chicken.  And they literally just sprinkled regular grated Parmesan cheese that you'd normally put on spaghetti on it.
    • Saturday Lunch:  2 Cheese Coneys from Chili Hut
      • dogs and buns tasted like regular coneys that you'd get at Skyline, but the chili was heavenly.  It was saucy like Skyline's, but it tasted way better and had more of a kick to it.
    • Saturday Dinner:  Pulled-pork sandwich and Red Raspberry Wacky Lemonade from Remi J's BBQ
      • Lemonade was awesome and is served in these bucket-like cups.  BBQ sandwich was okay but had some tough meat.

     

    Overall, I love love love the food truck festival and think it's such a unique idea for the park to pull off every year.  I think it'd be better if they did it later in the season like last year (in July) to attract more customers and allow more business for the food trucks.

  7. Ya, like they did with finishing the paving of the new toll booths right before season pass preview night, they seem to be doing this fencing and WWC entrance at the last minute as well.  

     

    My main concern is those workers are in a lock-out area...was Diamondback running when they were in there? They had to be awfully careful.

  8. Milling, Mining, Logging....industrial things I guess.  Industrial outdoorsy things.

     

    I think the original concept was definitely trying to mirror that of Frontierland in Disneyland.

  9. What? I attended ERT at 9:30am on May 21st and rode Woodstock Gliders and even asked the ride op if I had successfully snapped.  She said I did and that yes, the ride was designed to be able to do that.

     

    You're tellin me that a chain wide decision was made at 4:00pm that afternoon and it must have been enforced immediately?  Did someone get hurt or what?
