That’s our teaser Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Good call! I'm still banking on seeing teasers after July 7th. End of Carnivale and Gold goes away the same day. As in years past, I'm sure the announcement will come along with sales starting for 2020 season passes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red outline is for the main queue, and the green outline is either single-rider or Fast Lane/Pass/whatever it's called. Both queues will pass thru the quonset hut. The main queue has multiple misty fans and FUN TVs (seriously, it's in the blueprints). 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SonofBaconator Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 A huge part of me believes that they're recycling Firehawk's que so that people in line for Flight of Fear will be able to get a good look at the new coaster as opposed to just looking at TV screens inside. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohiocoasterfan Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 My theory is that we are going to see a full retheme of FoF and Xbase in general. This would explain why the que is getting an overflow section. It would also explain the trademark of both Polaris and Orion. Also the large Xbase sign was removed recently. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I could get on board with this. It will be sad to see the FoF name go away unless they name it like "Orion - Flight of Fear" or "Polaris - Flight of Fear" that would be cool too. I like your theory though! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes the existing steps will remain, but they're not for the exit of the new coaster's exit. Instead, they lead to the maintenance area of the new coaster (my image below doesn't fully show it, but the path with steps leads directly to the maintenance steps coming from the coaster's station). The foundation wall (in yellow below) is a bit misleading, but the exit path will go right over it while remaining fairly level (for wheelchairs). Note how the entrance queue go right over the foundation wall as well. This is just a sub-surface retaining wall I'm guessing. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trying to envision how the crew will change out all the trash cans using those stairs. I imagine all trash will have to be bertha'd away to the nearest food stand, and then the next closest when the first food stand is already backed up with weeks of un-emptied dumpsters and decaying ice cream.

KIghostguy Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 Looking at my own set of blueprints, the black dots on the lift are the egress lighting. Are the black dashes line lighting a la Fury? At first I thought it was the chain but this print shows electrical detail for the lift. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate seeing coasters with large areas of unused que like. haha Also if I am seeing things right the blue prints for the current FoF que are wrong. Some of the que lines are going in the wrong direction. When you get to the lines to the right of the UFO ( when facing UFO) they are wrong lol BLUE PRINTS ARE FAKE !!! haha 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not waste, I am not sure where you got that? My guess is that this new ride (like a lot of B&M's) is going to be a "people eater." Even in slow operation, it's going to move a linn relatively quickly. There may be a few weeks/months where temporary queues are needed ala Diamondback 2009, but just via proximity—Flight of Fear is probably going to see an uptick in interest/ridership. Unlike a reliable B&M ride with three trains that can each seat 32 riders, Flight of Fear's two small trains don't move people as quickly. It may need the additional space of Firehawk's queue for a season or two to handle crowds in that area. Like Dominion, KI should add a third train to FoF, but that was a losing battle years ago. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawaiian Coasters 325 Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 Sorry I'm late to the party today. I got a new phone finally! Anyways, according to the blueprints, it looks like there will be no gift shop at the exit. I wonder where they'll sell the merch for this coaster since there aren't really any gift shops nearby and with this coaster being this big, I'm sure they'll want to sell merch for it. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick44 Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 It looks like the exit is through the same way of entrance? Witch happens to be the old photo booth of FH.
