While the other items I won't get into (not really decoding, seriously enough already!), I can relate to your above concern. While Project X seems to be getting themed to align with the X-base location per station side views (which is awesome ) I wonder if the coaster being visible throughout Coney Mall may detract from some of its quaintness. The Antique Auto's are literally going to be in the morning shadows of the lift hill. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It concerns me that they are using Firehawk's queue for FoF because they could take out some of the indoor portions and use it for Haunt as KD has done. This was my exact thought, actually. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone was to busy turning it into train storage. It looks too small for a B&M train storage facility. It is probably just a storage facility or something, because it’s small. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Theater Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 Has anyone pointed out the "new prop building" in the queue line? Would this be a themed room, like a smaller FoF room? 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshua Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 The new building will be a Coke Freestyle station. Open..... But without access to the public. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it's labeled as a Quonset hut on another sheet and is listed as being filed separately from Project X. Since it appears both Fast Lane and the regular line are routed through it, it apparently must have something pretty important inside. 12 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Theater Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 Thanks Ghostguy. I'm very excited to see what theming they do for this. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIghostguy Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 I think the fact that this building is filed separately (a la the ride photo booth) than the rest of this project indicates that this building is not just another shade structure. Very excited to see what they do for the theming! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 Cedar Fair seems to have stepped up their theming game recently with Copperhead Strike and Mystic Timbers. Should be pretty cool. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In other words, just a shade structure made of corrugated steel instead of canvas. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silver2005 Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 With the rumor that Flight of Fear being renamed, could we see some sort of joint combined theming between the 2? Maybe something that let's them play off one another? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcovelli Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 Here's an odd thought.. which I seriously hope they DON'T do. Are they still trying VR on coasters.. or was that a phase? Please tell me that was a phase lol 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again, had you told me on October 28th, 2013 that Flight Deck was to be renamed, I'd have called you crazy. But even still, I don't think FoF would be renamed. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jallie79 Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 I've seen numerous people say that CF is short changing KI as yo not upstage CP. I can't fathom a world where a company would do this. CF would honestly want every property to do well. KI is already one of the better performing parks. Despite the markets, CW and carowinds didnt perform that well pre CF in comparison. The investments made have been great for those parks. Hopefully they will spread some love to the smaller properties now such as Dorney, MiA WoF etc As for not getting another Fury. I for one am glad. I applaud CF for not cloning every ride in every park. I think each park being diffrent is great. Not to mention sells more platinum passes. IMO, that is six flags weak point as was paramount's when they had the parks. Now that is off my chest, back to 2020. I still think we will eventually see an expansion to x-base. I'm not sure it's in line for 2020 but hopefully when it happens it includes a new dark ride. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver2005 Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 ^^I know that, but it'd be a fun way to rename it IMO. Even if it isn't renamed, Flight of Fear has a good story line to play off of. I'm not sure we'd get a full fledged video for the new one like FoF, but with how Mystic Timbers was handled, there are certainly creative ways to do it.

DeltaFlyer Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 Something I don’t think has been mentioned- how cool will it be when both sides of The Racer and the giga leave the drop at the same time! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nonamekate Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 It's worth noting that Fury and Centurion were both trademarked and the ride was named Fury 325. That's likely the case here. I don't think FOF will be renamed.Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they keep the Area 51/UFO theme on FOF, then perhaps "Project X" is the new aircraft (spacecraft?) built from that technology? 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A name something like X-301 would be interesting, because it's both lacking but at the same time, fits the theme perfectly. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is the ride would still have a name that could also serve as the "project name" in the theme's backstory. (For example, "Project Orion") 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
