Amazing. I can't see it being used for theme parks for a long time, but the possibilities for theme park use is stunning. Imagine realistic animals walking around as theming, say, a wild west area with horses, a bear in sort of a mountain/forest kinda area, realistic animals for a ride like Jungle Cruise. The potential is endless.
I understand the city's reasoning for doing this, but it does seem a bit silly considering that Dark Knight is sandwiched between two 200+ foot tall rides that have been at the park for almost a decade now. I would say that a Memorial Day opening is completely out of the question by now, but it should be open by the time the movie opens... Unless the city keeps giving SFNE trouble for a while longer.
At first I thought it looked slow and boring, but in the latest video it looks like its really hauling through the course, particularly over the first camelback and the hammerhead turn. The second half is looking a bit slow though.
I'm sorta suprised to see Eagle Fortress place so high. I knew that enthusiasts loved it, but I didn't realize anyone thought it was top 10 caliber. I'm also sorta suprised that Maverick didn't place higher despite how it well recieved it was with enthusiasts.
I'm really liking the brick look of the station. Actually, the ride is great looking overall, I love the colors. For some reason I can't get enough of orange and blue painted coasters.
I'm very interested to see what you do with HH:TR. Do you plan to do all of the effects on the ride, or will the inside just be bare like the wierd dark rides at Taiga Park?
I actually like "Nighthawk", "Backlot Stunt Coaster", and "The Crypt" (The names, not the rides), but "Flight Deck"?! Almost makes you wish the place was still owned by Paramount.
