KIBeast Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 With the cost of new trains and launch system combined with new theming, I can't imagine there will be a whole lot more spent on anything else. Would I like to see something else? Yes. Do I think there will be added layout? Just my opinion, but I can't imagine anything more than say an airtime hill similar to Kingda Ka. Of course, I could also be proven wrong, but I would still be surprised. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, I could also be proven wrong, but I would still be surprised. I agree. I don’t think they will add much onto the layout, maybe 1 or 2 more elements. I hope they decide to go the Red Force route and just add a small airtime hill that gives ejector. There really isn’t any airtime on Ka with the trims being on the hill. You might get a little bit in the front. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PKIDelirium Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 Some Iron Dragon track removal might be for crane placement, or just coincidence and it needed some work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
befat Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 I’d love to hear some speculation on where the queue line might go. I think it’s clear that it won’t be in the mid field since that area was totally cleared. If CP decided to do some sort of extended layout, they have almost unlimited space between the mid field, under/over Iron Dragon, Millennium Force island, and/or over the midway. But where does the (massive) queue line go? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's a drawing ElToroRyan came up with a few months ago: source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7sZKmHcinpE&t=714s 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawaiian Coasters 325 Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 **DOUBLE POST** Decided to make a mock up queue idea. The queue starts where I think a Haunt trail was at one point and snakes behind Iron Dragon next to Rougarou (goes under rumored vertical spike). The switchbacks are in between Iron Dragon and the brake run. The dark red lines are walls. The queue basically is enclosed to prevent anything from flying into the queue area. You then go up and over a bridge overtop of the brake run and go down into the new station. One thing that didn't make this drawing is I think we may see the double sided lockers SV has, I think those could go in an enclosed building where the former queue was. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Browntggrr Posted 13 hours ago Share Posted 13 hours ago Some very interesting pics of construction near the ride formerly known as TTD. dragster 3-28-2023.jfif dragster2 3-28-2023.jfif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterJack Posted 12 hours ago Share Posted 12 hours ago Yeah, I think the photos were taken from a drone or flyover of some point. Not gonna share any here (they can be found pretty easily online and would be against Terms of Agreement), but it looks to be a large metal triangle shaped metal structure that's being filled in behind the iron dragon station. It looks awfully coincidental that it's directly behind the dragster station, and it's a similar shape for a classic Intamin triangular footer used on their other taller spikes and coasters. However, it's all purely speculation at this point. Could just be drainage work, doesn't confirm any manufacturer. Mainly these photos have reignited excitement and speculation on the TTD project. It does look awfully convincing of a spike and swing launch though 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
