Beastfreak Posted February 18, 2003 Share Posted February 18, 2003 I'm just affraid that over a short time those tables and chairs that are just "thrown around" will look like crap and make the ride look dull and dingy when its supposed to be bright and cheerful. I don't think they will theme anything to the ride. No TV stuff about tornados, no big air siren, or anything. Just bright colors and maybe some signs like they had on Drop Zone of the falling cow when it first opened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dane Posted February 18, 2003 Share Posted February 18, 2003 Dosent the discription of Delerium say... "Imangine being caught in the middle of a big storm." That sounds like the kind of theaming for Delerium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teenageninja Posted February 19, 2003 Share Posted February 19, 2003 I just hope the whole que has some sort of covering. I don't want to wait for hours in the sun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZ Kinda Guy Posted February 20, 2003 Share Posted February 20, 2003 There will be... it took them a couple weeks, but they added that canvas-like thing over tomb raiders queue... SOB has the worst queue for the sun, i'm pretty sure... that ride is crap, except for the ride itself. the queue and exit just look thrown together... i can't believe they used top gun's exit for that... and they expect it to be a world class coaster? anybody else think that way? Who cares as long as the ride performs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beastfreak Posted February 20, 2003 Share Posted February 20, 2003 and they expect it to be a world class coaster? You said it yourself. "Coaster" What the heck does queue have to do with "Coaster". Now if you said "world class themeing then you might have a point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope. nobody else thinsk that way. have you ever played RCT, or RCT2? Do you know how easy it is to have numerous exits funnel together? Why spend huge amounts of money of queue lines, when you can build an entrance line, and make the exit hook onto an existing exit? Thats just smart business sense, and TG's path where SOB comes out, was already really wide, so why not use it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teenageninja Posted February 20, 2003 Share Posted February 20, 2003 Yea where else would they have the exit go, they can't have it go next to the cars because people might throw stuff on the track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaggy Posted February 21, 2003 Author Share Posted February 21, 2003 The sunscreen netting over TR:TR's que is actually the second covering. There was one in place when the ride opened on media day, but it was removed shortly therafter. The original held water, and so the park replaced it. The second one was added a few weeks later. In the time in-between the removal of #1 and the installation of #2, the queue was not covered, but it was always intended to be. SOB's que is one of the more poorly planned ques in the park. Actually it was a last minute decision made more by park maintenance rather than parks execs. Originally the intention was that SOB was to have perhaps the highest capacity rate of any coaster in the park. (Adventure Express has the highest throughput) So the thought was that the que would be temporary in that area. However, once the park decided two trains would run on SOB, that kept the line long enough to warrant PKI keeping the queue as is. I agree though, it is terrible and needs some sun shelter and TLC.

Beastfreak Posted February 21, 2003 Share Posted February 21, 2003 I don't think they need as much shelter as much as they need those fun little misting fans. Though some trees would be good to block out sun as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKICoasterFreek Posted February 21, 2003 Share Posted February 21, 2003 Yeah those misting fans are a nice + in a que line but a couple of tress but a canopy would be nice of some kind!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stitch Posted February 21, 2003 Share Posted February 21, 2003 The only part of Son of Beast's queue that I personally don't like is the large queue right next to Top Gun, because there is no shade and the rails get very bright if the sun hits them just right.

Dane Posted February 22, 2003 Share Posted February 22, 2003 Yea SOB quere lines need some shade. I could see some tent style covering, decked out in red & yellow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stitch Posted February 22, 2003 Share Posted February 22, 2003 That would be nice, have the logo on the covering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
