There’s a pathway one has to follow to get in. The time spent walking from the end of Columbia Road to it would be more than the time spent by a shuttle bus driving down KI Dr and dropping them off at employee drop off.
It’s a SpongeBob joke.
That being said, all together, there’s more markers here than at CP, so that’s a pretty decent indication that they’re putting a lot of markers down.
It turns out there was Ash Bore in the trees. It’s sad they were not replaced with trees and or theming.
I feel any addition to AZ will help drive foot traffic to Bat, which is needed, as I feel it is very underrated.
The tree by The Beast ended up being the far reverse Treble Clef for Orion. They needed to create a larger runoff network to prevent flooding in the lower areas of the ride.
Going back to Columbia Road. I feel that a huge ride is needed to draw people to the area to ride Bat as well.
I rode the one in KD a week before it closed. It and the KC were incredible rides, as the KC was my first big coaster (mistook it for Adventures Express, whoops).
