Maverick44 Posted June 21, 2019 Posted June 21, 2019 Also I see this has doors? circled in red. You can see its a door because its the same as the doors on the FoF que?
collin.klopfstein Posted June 21, 2019 Posted June 21, 2019 If there was an entrance sign, would it be on the blueprints? I’m guessing if there is one it would probably be where I circled 3

The question is why do that when you can find level ground. I do realize that. just seems like extra cost that is not needed. They really could just put in in front of the wall there. 1

Are you able to read anything in the white wordings on these steel sheets from any of your pics? I expect it'll say what thickness, grade of steel, where it's from, etc. Just curious what kind of information is on there. Thanks! Hello BSBMX, The text is illegible. -Captain Nemo 4

Could even wrap it to the south and have the line be close to the ride's helix before its final turn :p Otherwise, plenty of space northwest. Probably wouldn't want people on the access roads though. Could end up looking like when Firehawk opened too :p 3
Maverick44 Posted June 21, 2019 Posted June 21, 2019 Lol we have gotten to the point of going back a forth on where the sign will go and if the blueprints has doors in the line and where the overflow will go haha....god help us all! haha 2
Hawaiian Coasters 325 Posted June 21, 2019 Posted June 21, 2019 I think the overflow queue for opening weekend would be using the haunt and the haunt's queue that is there. Kinda like what they did for Mystic Timbers where they used the crypt building and the haunt's queue as an overflow. 6
flightoffear1996 Posted June 21, 2019 Posted June 21, 2019 Just seems like a lot to add to FoF que line. Why would they add all of it? Does it really need to be added? 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 Maybe not as large as you might think. They could be planning to turn the inside of the Flight of Fear queue area into a haunt. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 4
Maverick44 Posted June 21, 2019 Posted June 21, 2019 That would be pretty neat....you have to walk through a haunt to get on the coaster? 3

Maverick44 Posted June 21, 2019 Posted June 21, 2019 Yeah I would wanna say don't mess with that! The FoF que is one of my favs. 2

They had licenses to work with, of course, but the coasters definitely had better and more cohesive narratives than 'granny kicked up some moonshine and a bunch of convoluted nonsense has lead to the ride you're now experiencing, we paid twice as much for this as we did Maverick and it's half as good, here's a room with vaguely steampunk items - have fun!' 2 2
jcovelli Posted June 21, 2019 Posted June 21, 2019 Those "doors" at the entrance are just gates in the que railing, That symbol does not mean door, it just means a directional opening. I can't seem to figure out what that area is though or a reason for gates in both lines to access it. The sign will probably be on the entrance building. 1

I will say that Maverick had the most theming at CP until Sv showed up. They are close to the same. If paramount would of built some bigger and better coasters with that theming it would been awesome! yet they add the ITL job haha Sorry for those that like ITL job. If you had the theming of FoF and Maverick was the coaster...…….WOW! mind blown lol
aj74205 Posted June 21, 2019 Posted June 21, 2019 Steel Vengeance has themeing? Lol. I'd argue Maverick is still the better themed attraction given the queue, landscaping, rock formations and water features around the coaster. Or at least, those things make more of an impact than with Steel Vengeance regardless of the story they cooked up. Paramount showed you themeing in practice that you didn't have to watch a video online to decipher. 3

Maverick44 Posted June 21, 2019 Posted June 21, 2019 I agree I guess I was thinking of the back story and the way they announced the coaster. Maverick has way more actual " on ride" theming for sure. The most in the park if you ask me. Its not a race! lol 2

Paramount showed you themeing in practice that you didn't have to watch a video online to decipher. But with Paramount/Viacom/CBS, if you wanted to "get" the theme of many of their coasters, you'd have to have basic knowledge of a movie that was several years old at the time the coaster was introduced.

Maverick44 Posted June 21, 2019 Posted June 21, 2019 Like what child is going to watch Faceoff with 2 terrible actors. lol They have no idea that is a movie. What about Drop Zone......That wasn't even that major of a film. 4
