fyrfyter Posted July 25, 2019 Posted July 25, 2019 So here are closeups showing the areas that have been taped over (look at the lines). There is tape on yesterday’s teaser but doesn’t look like it has changed. Visual Sensory Deprivation... makes me think of a coaster with a VR headset. They had one at Legoland. Maybe that explains the random changes? They always make it an option, on if you want to wear it when riding. 2

If so prolly because it is dark in there with occasional bright lights

shizzzon Posted July 25, 2019 Posted July 25, 2019 Yes for real. They removed VR on iron dragon at Cedar Point. I rode it a few times. I had to hold onto their headset if they didn't want me losing it. Think it's a high potential to lose lots of money plus falling objects on ride possible. 3

I love VR, but they would be better suited with actual special effects if they want to do something different. 1
Joshua Posted July 25, 2019 Posted July 25, 2019 I've never understood VR on rollercoasters. You'd think riding one would be spectacle enough. 11
Magenta Lizard Posted July 25, 2019 Posted July 25, 2019 Sorry, I’ve been enjoying my day at the park so I missed all the tape talk. I’ll go check it out and confirm or deny. It may have changed again already tho the way they’re going 3

Iron Dragon is a piece of slow meandering trash and the only redeemable thing about it was when they put VR with it. Anyway. On topic. I have no idea on these posters just enjoying the ride 3

Hawaiian Coasters 325 Posted July 25, 2019 Posted July 25, 2019 Just rode WindSeeker and I got a great view. Lots of holes dug. I even saw the triangle footer for one of the drop supports (the one in the pic below) taking shape. 3

_capture_the_thrills_ Posted July 25, 2019 Posted July 25, 2019 How much heads up will they give us on the announcement? I tried to watch MT, we all know how that went. I want to be there this time. Do they have anything special for purchase or free for those that attend? Like a free magnet, postcards or even sea monkeys? Sometimes they do have limited merchandise for sale 1

Just don't tell the guys that call them "foundations". Which is a more common reference than both. *and yes. I know the difference between footings/footers and foundations. Just saying the guys doing the work, or even designing them use it interchangeably 2
Magenta Lizard Posted July 25, 2019 Posted July 25, 2019 Can confirm the two areas of tape/sticker that were posted by emotional_rollercoasters are there. One is fixing the incorrect ridership for FoF and the other is correcting whatever that means on Bayern Kurve. Also, not directly mentioned, the change of FoF’s sequence number was also done with tape/sticker. (hope it shows, I can’t see my phone well) 4 3
EngineerX Posted July 25, 2019 Posted July 25, 2019 Riddle me this. Is it cheaper to fix a coroplast sign with an extremely specifically designed tape, or reprint the poster? Why would they continue to make mistakes and not proofread their work? Again, these "mistakes" are significant. 7

shizzzon Posted July 25, 2019 Posted July 25, 2019 For the GP to not be seeing it's taped up.. Making me think when they put the last poster up, someone will remove the tape on all of them at the same time. 3

Imperial79 Posted July 25, 2019 Posted July 25, 2019 Can anyone at the park go up to the Eiffel Tower and take some pics of the Project X area? Thanks 1
Benjamin22 Posted July 25, 2019 Posted July 25, 2019 Construction seems to be well under way, looking at all the work they’ve done from WindSeeker had put all doubts about the layout being fake, match’s up perfectly. 2

Joshua Posted July 25, 2019 Posted July 25, 2019 I am assuming that when the sequence number is changed, it means that the letter appears multiple times in the word/phrase. For example, O would be at both Sequence V and VII. 3

Making me think when they put the last poster up, someone will remove the tape on all of them at the same time. So.... can someone take all the information that has been taped over/on the tape and compile it? Perhaps we can see something there. What if it’s not what’s under the tape that is being “revealed” when it is peeled off, but is what the tape makes when it is removed and put together somehow? 3
shizzzon Posted July 25, 2019 Posted July 25, 2019 Bout to post some Decoding for you guys, then i sleep. (about 20-45min from now) I expect some extra pages in 7hrs, lol. 2
