I think the billboard on the facade was used for HStM as well. It might've been the "Loading Dock" sign. The general cleanup they did to get all of the abandoned furniture out of the lawn makes it look a lot better. I really wish they would gut the interior and remove the exterior stairs like happened at Carowinds to give a lot more space to whatever goes in there. While I can't find a price for Carowinds' Action Theater project, it probably cost less than $600k. It's safe to say that the 4D theater concept is dead (for now) at most Six Flags parks. Here's a couple of screenshots from the video FYE Coasters got while riding WindSeeker (I believe the video is from yesterday). I definitely see the gas pumps, a cart with a striped roof, and the potentially renovated exit, though it doesn't look very enclosed. The fence in the center doesn't look like it has anything specific on it, though as always I could be wrong. Speaking of the exit, this might just be how it looked before/under other facade pieces, but it looks like there is a stylized skull painted to the left of the doorway. I wonder if those are boxes stacked up outside of the left theater or if I'm just seeing random items. Plague Productions did a really nice job with the facade for Order of the Dragon and I hope they can find a way to spruce up Action Theater like that. Whatever this maze turns out to be, I really hope they do something about the queue. Having two completely separate standby lines without a grouper causes chaos where there doesn't need to be any. Some new fences and a little connector path could easily transform it into one continuous line. (Side note: it looks like some new construction is going on backstage between the big storage tank and The Racer. It might just be a new shade structure for something, but it's always exciting to see stuff happening in the realm of park infrastructure!) It's entirely possible that this might be one of the video game IP-based mazes that were asked about in a past survey. Apparently some of the options included Castlevania, Cuphead, Dark Souls, Left 4 Dead, Resident Evil, The Witcher, and Luigi's Mansion. I think Left 4 Dead could be fun, but I'd also question the presence of a zombie game IP right down the path from KillMart. If that's the case then "Project 13" is definitely a code name. -

We had a nice ride through the theater tonight with some surprising ups and downs. I'll try to limit my extra wording tonight by giving you all a list. Downs: Some of the flickering lamps in the station and the Audience Seating scene are very dim/off. Maestro's head appeared to be permanently turned instead of moving like it normally does. Garbonzo's cannon didn't fire at all and the crates were resetting as we rode past (the timing was off for the scene). Houdelini's entire scene was muted. Ups: We heard lots of music throughout the entire ride! The ghost notes at Larry's turntable have finally returned to their normal size. The gargoyle's eyes were on, the first boiler screen was on, and the constant radiant heat for the first boiler was on! They definitely need some fans in the queue for the hotter/more humid days to keep the air moving. The A/C works well, but it needs help just like in the Festhaus. -

Condemned doesn't necessarily mean it has to be demo'ed. It just means a process of rehabilitation and inspections to be done to get it able to be permitted for use again.
