Shawn Meyer Posted June 23, 2019 Posted June 23, 2019 I know people are saying that they'll re-use that queue from Firehawk for Flight of Fear, but hear me out here. In my opinion, why don't they use that old queue for the new ride? I mean I know the blueprints show it being used for Flight of Fear, but even on a busy day with a full queue, you're looking at a two hour wait. If I'm a guest on a busy day like I'm referring to, I would just go to a different ride. Lastly, you have that old queue to save you money on pouring more concrete for the new ride so why not utilize it? I'm done with my point now so I'll go away. 3
silver2005 Posted June 23, 2019 Posted June 23, 2019 I'm guessing the old Firehawk queue will be for more lockers. 4

The blueprints have a whole new queue for the new coaster. I was thinking they could use the former Firehawk queue as an overflow, but now I find that unlikely. 2

Using an aged queue line just wont look good.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 3
Shawn Meyer Posted June 23, 2019 Posted June 23, 2019 ^ They re-used the old queue that was white water landing for Maverick when it opened. Do you think the general public would notice that much? Not trying to prove you wrong, but just saying here. 3
Hawaiian Coasters 325 Posted June 23, 2019 Posted June 23, 2019 Looking at the blueprints, it looks like the food stand in Xbase is going to be removed. 2
Shawn Meyer Posted June 23, 2019 Posted June 23, 2019 I wonder if they'll keep the old sign from Firehawk along with the old photo booth. Still both in great condition! 2

It won't happen as the queue would have to cross the ride exit path to get to the Firehawk queue. That would be chaos. 3

You might go to a different ride but remember when Steel Vengeance first opened, there were wait times exceeding 4hrs. 3

befat Posted June 23, 2019 Posted June 23, 2019 I took my first trip to the top of the Tower today. I know there’s nothing new to be seen in this picture. But, I think it’s strange that we’ll be looking straight across at a new coaster next year instead of down at a construction site. 8 1

collin.klopfstein Posted June 23, 2019 Posted June 23, 2019 Pictures of the track at CSF are not really needed but since I’m driving by there why not get pictures? 4

collin.klopfstein Posted June 23, 2019 Posted June 23, 2019 I’m sorry i didn’t get any pictures, the reason is everything is the same but the giant spine part that was laying by the entrance is gone. This one ⬇️ 4

I miss the days when I would log on and see pages and pages of new comments all within an hour period because something big was revealed. Maybe, when teasers show up, we will see that happen again. I do think that the layout leaking early was a good thing, though, because now people won’t be caught off guard and all upset when the coaster is not the tallest, fastest, and longest giga in the world. 4

silver2005 Posted June 23, 2019 Posted June 23, 2019 Are you guys really surprised that the decoding ground to a halt when you got access to the blueprints within weeks of the park opening and have been going through them with a fine tooth comb since then? Its just a waiting game until the announcement and vertical construction at this point. 13

Zayzayd13 Posted June 24, 2019 Posted June 24, 2019 so...is this going to be a ride that we probably aren't going to be able to get on much for the first year or so? I wouldn’t say that. If the crew is as efficient as Banshee, then you should be able to ride Project X quite a number of times next year.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 4
