rct2wizard360 Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 Just letting you guys know, the indoor queue and that front entrance is exclusive to Great America's as far as I know. The entire ride for the other two parks is shown in the second picture. Great America's will not have that little side room sticking out. That is the pre-show building at New England and Great Adventure, the rest of there queue will be outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golfie Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 I'm excited to ride in a little subway car... those are cute! However, that's one HELL of a queue line... I guess they're ready for large crowds and crappy capacity? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scaparri Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 Though I still think the idea of putting to wild mouse coasters right next to each other at SFGAm is a little dumb, I'm definitely impressed with the drawings for this ride. I'm really hoping that the level of theming they are putting out for these three coasters is going to be a sign of the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBird Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 I still don't see why they would get this when they already have Rajun Cajun. It looks cool though. Very good for Six Flags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterdude5 Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 I wish they'd take out Ragin Cajun... It always seemed "injected" into that area of the park to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golfie Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 ^ I totally agree. Without theming the this coaster will have, Wild Mouse coasters seem like "fillers" because they're so compact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broadwayboy2007 Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 Wow...those trains look really awesome. Makes me wonder if the subway will play a role in the Dark Knight film like it did in Batman Begins. This looks like it'll be a fun ride, and I would drive a big distance to ride this if it turns out as great as it sounds/looks like it will be.

cycamps Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 This ride looks a lot more impressive than I thought it would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
socalMAN123 Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 WOW! That looks really, really amazing. Now I wished I could have saved up enough money to take a trip out to the Midwest this year. I'm quite impressed by the amount of themeing that the blueprints show, I really hope it turns out that way. ---Brent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kraken613 Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 That looks really nice for Six Flags no less! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkStitch626 Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 http://www.rcdb.com/ig1652.htm The Dark Knight coaster doesn't seem as glorious as I had thought it would be compared to the Scooby Doo's Spooky Coaster, In Warner Bro's Movie World in Queensland. Granted its Six Flags making the idea for the new rides it is still nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adrenalinejunkie Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 I'm excited to ride in a little subway car... those are cute! However, that's one HELL of a queue line... I guess they're ready for large crowds and crappy capacity? That queue is INSANE. Thankfully, it'll be air-conditioned, but the size of that thing is just huge- and boring looking too (it's just one large, meandering queue) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr.gumbo Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Looks great and completley un-expected, lets hope SixFlags start theming larger rides to this scale, that is if they start making them again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airtime&Gravity Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Hmm, it looks like Dark Knight and S:UF will share the exit queue at the end. While I'm a little upset that it won't be as themed as Scooby Doo in Australia, I am impressed with what SF is doing. I just hope they don't waste the 3.75 million in theming on the structure the building will be housed in. The trains look cool though, and is it just me, or is the lift enclosed in its own "room"?

GoogleMickey Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 I think the lift will be the "subway tunnel" This ride looks really impressive, and I think it be nice to get one at SFMM but we have a batman, its just not family friendly.

sixflagsguy5 Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 I still don't see why they would get this when they already have Rajun Cajun. I was wondering the same thing. The Dark Knight is being heavily themed, so to the average amusement park go-er they are two seperate rides. The park president explained that the reason they used a wild mouse is because they wanted a ride that could pull quick manuevers and that they could work with for the theme. I think that the experience will be more of a dark ride (almost like a electronic target shooting ride) rather than a coaster. I forgot to ask if they planned on heavily trimming the ride in order to allow more time to take in the theming. Before this was explained, I wasn't expecting much from the ride. Now I'm pretty sure that it will be a good addition and will add a new type of experience to the park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 I think it be nice to get one at SFMM but we have a batman GAm and GAdv have Batmans also, the same one. Heck, NE had a Dark Knight... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coasterdude5 Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 I wonder if they'll build the ride and then build the building around it or the other way around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knottslover77 Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Most likely the ride first. --Jay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFGAm Shock Wave Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 They're building the building first. At No Coaster Con, they said foundation in January, the building in February, and the ride in March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golfie Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 ^That's really odd. It would seem like building the ride first, then the building would be easier. Maybe they're doing that first to make weather less of a factor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm having a flashback to last winter when I put together an HO-scale model of that exact same mouse Here's what the full-size version looks like with the stock cat-and-mouse theming: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RRollergod Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 I drove past SFGAm recently and I thought I saw a large gray building being built. Actually it was almost done. But usually the ride goes first then the building so I do not know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFjunkie2010 Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 That seems like a mediocre ride. Hopefully Six Flags actually does a decent job with the scenery unlike Skull Mountain (SFGAd) with its nice gaps in the walls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
