ohiocoasterfan Posted May 27, 2019 Posted May 27, 2019 Wonder if there’s any painted track in Batavia right now?! Dustin you better get that POV out soon! There’s already been 4 or 5 posted. This better be something special lol 5

DustinTheNow Posted May 27, 2019 Posted May 27, 2019 Sorry for all the posts! I think this is the final one! Any other thoughts or corrections? 13 2
FUN&ONLY! Posted May 27, 2019 Posted May 27, 2019 DustinTheNow, I think you have come up with better color schemes than the park will end up giving us! I especially like the dark blue and light blue colored track and the black and red colored track... keep up the good work! 5 2

On the closest-left of that concrete pad, there are some electric runs coming out of the ground, which tells me this is more than just a simple storage structure. https://alaskastructures.com/foundation-options-fabric-buildings/ 7

Craftsman electric trenched from an area near Adventure Express to put those conduit runs in. Their excavator is still just out of frame. 3

Theres 7 smaller conduits coming up, and no obvious spots that they come back up. If they were just supplying electric from somewhere else, there'd likely just be one conduit coming up. Regardless what the purpose of the building, it was going to have electric for lights. These multiple conduits are odd though, unless they are coming up elsewhere on the pad and they just can't be seen in the pic. Stranger is how they have indentations at the ends of the concrete pad. Looks like 4 on each end and they likely line up. That suggests the building has a specific purpose beyond just storage. 3

Why would they build something that looks like that just to store some things in? 6
flightoffear1996 Posted May 27, 2019 Posted May 27, 2019 I am thinking that building will be used for haunt. 7

BSBMX Posted May 28, 2019 Posted May 28, 2019 Could it be a new off-season maintenance shed for AE? Looks like AE's transfer track (where I believe they add and remove trains, yellow below) is awfully close to this new concrete pad (estimated red below). 3

Maybe @pkiridesmaint could give us insight on wether that’d be necessary? I don’t think they’d build an entire building for just one ride. 3
BruceWayneWins Posted May 28, 2019 Posted May 28, 2019 I'm hoping we'll get space themed flat ride but I assume that's unlikely. 4
BSBMX Posted May 28, 2019 Posted May 28, 2019 Might be for The Racer too and other surrounding rides. 3

Looks like AE's transfer track (where I believe they add and remove trains, yellow below) is awfully close to this new concrete pad (estimated red below). The pad is actually SW of your square. Compare the curve in that road in the latest pic. But I have doubts about it being a maintenance building. They do a lot of that stuff offseason, and those tent type buildings aren't really that easy to heat. I'm leaning more towards storage or something to do with the carnivale. 2
MDMC01 Posted May 28, 2019 Posted May 28, 2019 I really like @ethancoaster‘s rendering mostly because the elements on them return trip looks way better/cooler than other recreations I’ve seen thus far. Also, I got to see the clearing from WindSeeker today and it looks like it may have grown so now it passes beside the fireworks launch pad and goes back further. Also, even though this new coaster seems like it will be close to The Beast, I don’t see it affecting night rides too much (IMO). However, the finished product could be a different story and the new coaster would leave The Beast less secluded. 5

I don’t think they’d build an entire building for just one ride. I haven’t worked in the park since the paramount days however I’m considering a return. My guess is that it’s going to be a storage facility for grand carnivale. The curved supports posted yesterday are more than likely going to that pad, they look a lot like supports for tension fabric structures like this... 6
FUN&ONLY! Posted May 28, 2019 Posted May 28, 2019 Shouldn’t there be plans or something that would be filed with the city for this? 1

I really like the dark blue with the light blue. The biggest star in Orion is those two colors, so I can totally see that. I'd think they would go white supports. Maybe even stick with light blue. 8
FUN&ONLY! Posted May 28, 2019 Posted May 28, 2019 What is the point of this thread anymore? Someone already created a thread called “Decoded 2020,” so why are people still trying to decode Project X?

LuvingKI Posted May 28, 2019 Posted May 28, 2019 I watched a Guy pick up a Chicken in the kids animal zoo and it got a little rowdy for him and he dropped it... though it said don't pick up the animals.. now what 2 1

Creed Bratton Posted May 28, 2019 Posted May 28, 2019 I've said it before in this thread, but the new pad by Racer I can almost best that it'll be for storage of Grand Carnivale floats...they've got to be stored somewhere. 3

I’m thinking this festival will be rotated throughout the entire chain, I would not be surprised if next year we get the monster trucks and Cedar Point (Or some other park) get’s Grand Carnival 3
