Yeah, this is looking very gnarly. That's going to be another epic view from the lift hill and that flip into the drop.

Sushi and bowling? SWEET. This place looks awesome, and as someone above said, a great place to hang on a late arrival day.

^Fantastic news! It's going to be a great Spring, watching that come together.

So I guess the "Amusement" area is Vegas? Looks like the Stratosphere Tower over there, or am I seeing things? Here's hoping the High Roller will live again.

WORD.

How have I never seen this movie? That cover art is epic. She's a FEMILF.

^ and ^^ Aha, got it. That's kind of cool that they're some kind of semi-official house band, sort of. Any band that sites The Beatles and U2 as influences is okay in my book.

Anything with more Tron is automatically better. ("Auto" matically.) I'm avoiding as much on-ride stuff as possible to keep it relatively spoiler-free (should the Disney Gods finally ever allow me to ride Test Track), but the new exterior, all the interior elements, and what I've see of the ride itself, wow, beautiful. The Shanghai lightcycle coaster is going to completely pwn. Who the hell are "One Republic?" Are they related to "One Direction?" #OldPeopleQuestions

This thread is already bursting at the seams with win, awesome and adorable.

I haven't opened my gifts yet (will open on Xmas morning; I don't want to incur the wrath of the Were-Elves), but I did want to share that I received my ChrisHanKwansivus gifts from my Secret Santa! Thanks, Santa! Can't wait to see what's in them purty packages! The full-reveal photos will come after the 25th. I'll be dropping off a package tomorrow.

I think I may hire these guys to design my own dream house, when I'm finally in a position to build it. Because the more complete the fun house becomes, the more I want to live in it.

I'll seek this out only if every ride includes the goat crossing.

More launches, more fun! This looks like a blast, especially if they do follow through with some of this environmental awesomeness.

This is going to be a game-changer. I can't wait to experience this when it opens. And seriously, if you don't like penguins, what the hell is wrong with you?

^ Okay, for whoever gets me: I'm a gigantic movie buff who owns a blu-ray player and exactly three blu-ray movies, which are the late-90s Gamera trilogy (it kicks ass, BTW). So I would welcome any additions to that library. And I watch almost everything, but I have a soft spot for anything with a car chase, explosions, senseless, bloody violence, and/or gratuitous nudity. Or monsters. I love to laugh, so anything funny is also welcome. And as someone else mentioned, thinkgeek.com would also be a fine place to shop for me. But I'm really cool with whatever, so if you dig it, I will, too!

I had not been following along on the progress with this thing so much; just went through the last ten or so pages. Dayum.

It's so easy to imagine what this place could look like in five years. Incredible. And thanks for the info about the radio interview!

This really is a great thread; fascinating to read all the different reactions. X/X2 is my biggest pleasant and most unpleasant surprise. It drives me BANANAS how different the ride experience can be on that damned thing. When it's good, it is amazing. When it's bad, it is THE WORST. Back row, against the wheel, on the highway side, that's the only seat I'll ever ride in again. And since it's still pretty fresh in my mind, I'll also add Tennessee Tornado as one of my biggest pleasant surprises ever. Short, yes, but fast, fun, intense, and about as close to B&M smooth as you'll ever find on an Arrow (!!!) coaster. LOVED that ride. And put me down as another who would love to see the soft-pad restraints added to Maverick. Want that badly.

Agreed on everything; this is all just another strong sign that the amusement industry is well into a new period of growth and innovation, SO EXCITING! Geeking out pretty hard over that FantaWild park model; very highly awesome.

The look on Elissa's face in that photo above is priceless. For reals, those Chinese manufacturers have some real stones. And yes, that triceratops car is way rad. Is maybe for China's Dinosaur Park???

And it's called "Bloodbath." Can you imagine, a whole horror-themed waterpark? BRILLIANT. Guy, you are a genius. (Shane, please, Vegas, think about it.) Just finished watching the first video; freaking SWEET. S&S S is killing it. Great stuff, everyone!

Ooooh, coaster/observation tower... Yes, that will do quite nicely. EDIT: just started watching the video; will have to come back later to see it all, but the new, simplified 4D concept sounds pretty incredible. AWESOME coverage all around!

A Transformers/Megaforce mash-up? If so, I approve.

Exactly, but all Space Mountain and stuff, so if this is going to China, or some other far-away place, I'm going to be a little bummed.

Where is this "Deep Space" ride going because MUST HAVE.
