  1. Little boxes you pay for so you can store your stuff. It's a word filter. That's awesome. I had a good chuckle.
  2. So you mean like turn in the shed, and then roll into the station backwards? Then load and dispatch backwards, alternating forward and backward? If this is what you mean, I'm not sure at all, but don't trains have to be fitted to run backwards vs forwards? I thought I remembered hearing something like new trains when SF parks get NAMTAB. But I guess they could potentially, somehow design it to run both backwards and forwards if the train design is an issue. I'm thinking the train comes to a stop in the shed, there's some fog, and or strobe effects, or something else equally entertaining while the track rotates 180 degrees, and then is dispatched backwards, and back through the course again. It may explain why there is a 3rd train for what seems to be a very short ride. I imagine that the trains would get stacked regularly based on the POV's length. There are problems with this theory though: -GCI guys say they have no clue what is in the shed ->which could be a fib -Can one train run both forwards and backwards on the same circuit? -> If not, they could have designed a new one -There doesn't appear to be an additional track leading down from the shed and back towards the lift hill. -> Its reasonable to believe the video may be omitting this. -For this to work, the train cannot roll through the station for its backwards run. That would likely result in delays as the backwards train is waiting for the train ahead to load, and stacking issues with the 3rd train. -The train also has to get turned back around for when it goes into the station. Heres a more realistic possibility, which would be in true Cedar Fair fashion. The shed is the exit station. Riders get on the train in the main station, and exit in the shed. This way KI can have a no loose items policy, and charge for lockers! Revenue generation at its finest.
  3. Just a thought... maybe there is a turntable in there that rotates the train so that it can run a second time backwards. It may well explain the third train, and in the announcement it was said that this ride was inspired by Beast AND Racer. Racer did have a backwards side at one point.
  4. Am I the only one that see's this?
