Bring on the Twisted Racer! All joking aside, I think this could be an interesting development, because a lot of the markers focus around KillMart, with additional markers approaching the main utility lines.

It passes easily. -
It’s not paint, maintenance was reinforcing those sections two weeks ago.

I did not feel it. It could be due to variances in the parts.
-
Just got off a night ride, it was much faster than before.
-
There’s new LED’s light based fire effects, and more. The ride was flying through the course tonight!
-
About 6.
-
I would say more. There were 10 foot sections of track being replaced.
-
There wasn’t any rough transitions.
-
Past few weekends.
-
I’ll try to get some. It’s in the helix away from the midway, but it’s noticeable when you ride it. The effects were pretty neat.
-
Yes, the helix and the lower valley had new track placed (its red compared to the normal brown), and there’s new lighting effects on the final lift.

Michigan's Adventure

They almost got one. They were going to receive a $7 million dollar D.H. Morgan hypercoaster. It would have been 210 feet tall and ran alongside Shivering Timbers. I believe it fell through when plans for the resort Hotel/Campground fell through. -
-
It’s also ironic to note, that in order to make the ride work, one would need to have banked turns that lead into the inversions.

There are blueprints for the original Bat showing a corkscrew, with the helixes in a different color, suggesting an alternate layout should the buyer want it.
-
It’s interesting that the original Bat (the one opened in 1981) was designed to have corkscrews. The original ride was to feature two corkscrews-the first being before the second lift hill, and the second one being before the final turn. Some of the original design can be seen as an Easter Egg in the Orion queue. I used NoLimits 2 and recreated it. Here is The Bat as originally designed: https://youtu.be/GvH-SCRIGcE

Coronavirus Impacting Theme Parks

Utah is now extremely low on ICU beds. Meanwhile at Lagoon, these were the lines: Source(https://twitter.com/kazweida/status/1320511164225261568?s=21) Compare those lines with the ones from KI Its sad other parks are not taking COVID as seriously as CF is. -
Coney BarBQue is considered one. They have walls they can slide into place, as seen during Winterfest.
-
That is a good point. However the only section that is lacking with any sort of indoor dining is Planet Snoopy.
-
The markers ran in an East-West direction. There was an additional marker east of Kill Mart by the antiques.
-
It has been open this year. It’s also interesting to note a few more markers were observed heading away from the building. Similar markers were seen prior to Woodstock Gliders and the Coney BarBQue projects.
