CPSFMMCW Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 I'll second that statement. But if you look at the roof in the background, you can see that it is the black color that it is suppose to be when it is finished. So at least part of the roof is pretty much done!

Dr. M Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 The colors may make it look a little Minecraft-y, but this is CF we're talking about, they couldn't have gone too dark and scary. The fact that we're getting a coaster station that vaguely resembles a Gothic cathedral is still freaking awesome, I think it's going to look great.

glouthan Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 (edited) The park just tweeted this. Looks great! Â Nice station for banshee! I like the cathedral shape - adds a more gothic feel. Edited March 9, 2014 by glouthan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zachclarke2 Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 ^That photo was posted literally 5 posts ago. Â Anyway, I think the blocky colors look a little weird, but I'm happy that the park is putting forth any theming at all to the station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.J. Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 They could do something similar to what we did for the Haunted Hostel attraction at Conneaut Lake - finish the solid colors and then "dirty it up" around the edges to make it look older or more worn.

DBru Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 ^I really hope that's what the plan is because, as of now, I can't help but to think that it just looks...silly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bonsaiisuperstar Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Wonder if they are testing tonight after dark? I heard a rumor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glouthan Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 (edited) Just realized the park poured some concrete bases under the first drop, the dive loop, and the vertical loop. The ride looks like it might be testing soon! Edited March 10, 2014 by glouthan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcjp Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 ^Given the fences I'm assuming that are will be accessible for normal guests, right? If so, great! Should give some nice angles to take pictures or film the ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glouthan Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 ^ Maybe the line will weave around the coaster, which would be nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcjp Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 ^It's always nice when you can be so close to a coaster, that's one thing I love about rides like SFGAdv's Bizarro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should give some nice angles to take pictures or film the ride. Â Maybe I am misunderstanding what you meant but as far as being able to walk right up to the fences, no guest will not be able to. Those fences are inside of the fenced-in ride area and are in place anywhere the ride comes within a certain distance (I believe it is 10 feet) of the ground. A similar area can be seen at the bottom of Diamondbacks first drop. The queue area should give some great photo ops though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamondbacker27 Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 I love all the new land scaping. I really hope testing will begin tomorrow. Now, are they just pouring regular concrete over the old action zone circle? There where footers in there, so something is going there. Â Why did they put fencing and concrete under the first drop? Is it for the camera? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KI Kidd Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 I believe it is actually gravel, though it does look like concrete on the webcam. It is a safety issue. Â There has been some activity by the lift motor the last half hour or so. We maybe getting close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coastercoaster5 Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 For those wondering what will be in the circle in the action zone, i believe it was in the onride view of banshee in the trailer. This may just be the old circle though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenny B Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Those last three inversions look like there going to provide massive amounts of good old fashion B&M body crushing madness. Not digging all the concrete slabs, this isn't prison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
