1,2,4 & 5 are impact craters and 3 is old Firehawk location

time to play connect the dots!

[shizzzon]

Ok.. so massive impact clues.. the end of the world.. asteroids flying around space...

 

Maybe one of these asteroids is expected to slam into the FH area and we finally get our record drop, lol.

do you have a map like the one i attempted to post of the proper locations then @Fye Coasters ?

hang on 

[collin.klopfstein]

So here is all the coordinates now on the map

[Logic]

boy that is so obvious now!... not

If the line represents the layout, I hope we don't get ring racer 2 lol.

[Logic]

Are those dots connected in numerical order?

[Acook44]

Maybe it is a clue that the main hill goes underground? Like a crater? No clue if you can tell that from the blueprints or not.

Underwater trans continental tunnel giga confirmed

[shizzzon]

But... there are many craters on this planet. What makes these 4 so special?

no, i will get to doing that right now!

[zacman777]

I’m kinda digging the idea of the hill going into the crater making the drop bigger. Maybe the bottom of the drop sea level high refers to the ground before they make it deeper for the drop, or a tunnel? Unless the footers for the bottom of the drop have already been poured. Wishful thinking I’m sure lol

Ahhh yes its announcement week! Also last week of the weekly operating schedule. Those new teasers are amazing!!!

[Logic]

So maybe the crater could really change the drop height. Yes i know the blueprints... but the crater could be what it's dropping into for getting more over that 300' mark

[collin.klopfstein]

here is connecting them in numerical order

[Logic]

thanks @collin.klopfstein

ELE was Extinction Level Event in the Armageddon movie.  Or maybe it was the Asteroid movie.  The one with Will Smith.

You are referring to Deep Impact.  Will Smith was not in either Armageddon or Deep Impact.

What is it with all the adult movie references to the new coaster??? 

[BzzLghtyr]

It says Vrederfort (actually spelled Vredefort it seems) and Chixculub were just the beginning. 

These are the two largest impact craters. Vredefort 160km, Chicxulub 150km

This is getting really exciting!

Wow. Vredefort assumed to have been way larger when it was formed too.

A asteroid named Apophis will come close to earth in 2020. Named after Greek god of chaos.

Ok, so due to their new teasing I am thinking of names along the line of “Impact”, “Crater”, “Meteor”, “Asteroid”, “Apophis.”

edit: it also makes me come back to thinking just calling it “Shooting Star” wouldn’t be the worst. 

This got me thinking, if this is the theming they're shooting for, perhaps that was born from knowing that the coaster would drop into a ditch. Perhaps that's supposed to be the 'crater' after impact? Maybe the story is meant to go that world effectively ended due to a meteor strike and now we're going into the resultant crater. Or maybe it wasn't a meteor...maybe the planet got hit by something from an alien world and then whatever came out of it ended the world. Maybe the world it came from was the same that the aliens in Flight of Fear came from. 

Or maybe we (the riders) are the meteor, or the thing that came from the alien world...

Or maybe I'm thinking way too much into all of this. Either way these new clues have definitely re-ignited decoding!

[Joshua]

It seems less likely the name will be Polaris or Orion. Thinking along the lines of "end of the world," how about Doomsday? 

[collin.klopfstein]

annihilation, decimation?

[fyrfyter]

Vredefort crater is listed as 300km across. There's that magic number again. Wonder what the sizes of the other craters are?

[Logic]

Yeah this end of the world stuff seems way more dark than a Polaris style name. Betting the real name is trademarked day of. Those got the ball rolling in the theme genre, but this is too much for that. Gotta be more like a meteor or something
