I thought about something today. What if they trademarked those two names to rename Flight of Fear and then use the other name on the new ride? Could you imagine that everyone?

Did anyone get a Beast t-shirt? I tried but the line was massive and I figured their was no way I could have managed.
I received a Beast shirt. When the line opened that day, I was standing by the Whitewater canyon sign. Sorry to hear about your luck that day. You almost had to run with everyone to have a chance.

I would like to see black supports with forest green track and orange trains for the section where it is going to run parallel to The Beast break run. Hearing an oncoming roar, looking over and through the trees catching a glimpse of something big and orange booking through the forest at 80-90 MPH.
Kinda like Phantom's revenge at Kennywood right? I don't know about the orange trains part, but it could work. I love the idea of green track. I wanted to double quote on here but not sure how to do that. The guy on page 23 was pointing out using Riddler's revenge colors which I think is another great option to go with too! Also on page 25, someone else mentioned that it doesn't have to be a record breaker in height per say, but maybe the longest of it's type. I would be alright with copying the height of Intimidator 305 at Kings Dominion but throwing different features in there as well. Bottom line is, I'm happy the park is finally getting what all of us fans have been drooling over for over a decade now. In my opinion, it doesn't have to break 10 world records like Millennium Force did when it opened, but just be fun! By the way, this is irrelevant, but Millennium Force is having it's star wars day today. May the force be with you on the fourth. Lol

^ I was just saying that since people are crazy and are running into the trees already. Give them time, they might find a way to fall into the fountain area.

I wonder how many people will accidentally fall into the fountain pool. Lol

Here are two videos from Sunday.
How we're these videos take on Sunday? The park was closed to the public for Easter? Also how did they find time to shoot this video with the sun out? Saturday(opening day) was cool and rainy.

With the new re-imagined royal fountain containing jets, what has happened to the former fountain pedestals? Were they destroyed, sold to someone else, sold for scrap, placed in storage somewhere, etc?
I was wondering the same thing. Sorry everyone skipped over your question there.

Noticed that yesterday! So happy to not have to look at gum, spit, and dried vomit while waiting there (for now).
Here's my emoji for this sentence.

Out of the photos you shared, I like these two the most. Can someone help me figure out what those red barns are used for during the season year in and year out? My theory is if they decide to keep those buildings, they could build the first Giga that makes a turn and then drops. I'm sure some of you on here have made a Giga in RCT that does something like that. I also feel like not all these trees will be removed and that they're trying to work around them like how Holiday World does. I can see the lift hill and station being built where Firehawk once stood. It would be nice to see it jump over the launch area of Flight of Fear, but I'm not sure how they would do that without interfering with Adventure Express. Also is just me or does it seem like there is a pattern that interwines around the red barns, turns right, does a straight away with hills, and then makes a turnaround by The Beast brake shed? As a closing remark, I see this being the same height as Intimidator 305 at Kings Dominion, although I liked the one guys post about this being 335 feet in height. That would be awesome! Thank you everyone for your time.

Remember, that the fountain shows (both the night time and day time versions) are not supposed to debut until Memorial Day weekend. I am sure they are still fine tuning the programming of the fountains with the lights and sound. And, yesterday and Friday were considerably windy at times, so I am sure they adjusted the fountain to compensate for the winds.
My sister was just like a lot of people on here who aren't impressed with the look of the new fountains. I for one was impressed! I loved how everything looked updated and refreshed around International street. We were talking to the people who work on the train and they said they had to take the pedestals out due to rotted out and heavy corrosion. Yes I know I shouldn't trust sources coming from KI & MV railroad, but these people seemed to know what they were talking about. I'm sure the same thing could be said about Cedar Point and not trusting sources coming from the lemon chill guy. With that said, I believe they're still working on the fountains and we will be more impressed once Memorial Day weekend comes.

Yeah I wish we could switch forecast days with yesterday in place of Saturday.

I have a lot of bills so I would rather just wait until I get back in my town to buy alcohol. For one $10 beer, I could buy a six pack for less than that. I'd rather just enjoy a nice refreshing Coca-Cola beverage instead. Don't get me wrong, I love that they fixed up Festhause, but don't expect me to buy a beer in the park.

Well now that I know that, the anticipation of what they look like is killing me. Uuugghh!

I think it will really put the “grand” into “grand entrance. The forced perspective illusion has been restored!
Are you allowed to comment or say if the pedestals have been put back in or taken away? Yes I'm still holding hope.

Just looked at Diamondback cam and saw the log flume is up and running.
Good grief lol

Is it possible with Firehawk not being around anymore that they'll re-open the photo booth at Flight of Fear? I miss that feature during the launch and seeing my face as the train launched from 0-54 in 3 seconds.

I photoshopped this photo from the 2017 coaster stock. I felt like I had to since when our group was allowed to take pictures, it was getting ready to rain. But since I graduated from Stark State College with my associates degree in computer graphic design, I feel like I can accomplish anything now.

I'm one of the few that will miss the trees. In my opinion, the big trees gave the fountains some charm. But like someone said earlier, in a few years they'll be an average tree height again.

Why won't they show a live cam on international street yet? I want to see what it looks like for peeking purposes.

If we could get a retheme of the Log Flume to go with Mystic Timbers and Miami River Brewing, that would be amazing.
I think the kids that visit Planet Snoopy might be upset that the Peanuts gang being gone.

^^ Will new smaller trees be planted?

As much as I keep seeing posts online about the International street makeover, I keep thinking what's going to happen to the trees there? I know I'm a tree lover here.

I know this might sound stupid, but maybe this Giga coaster could be the first to feature a double chain lift? You know how in RCT, you might go up 50 feet with the lift hill, turn it a little and then go up another 50 feet. In this case the number could be higher like 150 feet, then another 160 feet. Like I said, that's just me talking for jokes and giggles here.
