coasterking2981 0 Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 The pics are a little bit small but interesting. Unfortunately yeah they are a bit small. I hope six Flags will post some larger photos as they progress with construction. Link to post Share on other sites
coastercrazed49 0 Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 This is probably what it looks like at SFNE or at least it will soon. Hopefully there will be bigger pictures soon. Link to post Share on other sites

SFjunkie2010 0 Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 is this Dark Knight scheduled to open with the park? SFNE just got the go-ahead to build their's and haven't made much progress on it yet. They're scheduled to open it up on memorial day weekend. Link to post Share on other sites

They're scheduled to open it up on memorial day weekend. since construction has already began yeah it will probably open around the park's opening day or late spring. check on the link. maybe they have posted its opening day already.

jackskellington101 0 Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Ooh, building Dark Knight New England without a permit. Ouch. That's certainly not helpful. The Washington City Paper article was interesting, mainly because they hate Dan Snyder. Their hate mainly comes from how he runs the Washington Redskins, though it spreads to anything he touches really. Link to post Share on other sites
BuddyChrist 0 Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 I apologize for bumping this old topic, but I do have photos of construction for The Dark Knight! Also, a full color rendering of the building exterior and track layout has been posted to Great Adventure History and I will try and get permission from them to post it here. These photos are from the site I administrate, so it's fine to post them here! Here are photos of the Dark Knight as of 4/19/08: The preshow building has it's exterior nearing completion Front view Queue landscaping has begun Very blurry, but this may be one of the trains inside the building Last look Here's a link to GA History's rendering and track layout: http://www.greatadventurehistory.com/Forums/index.php?s=&showtopic=502&view=findpost&p=6445 More updates as they become available!

coasterguy618 0 Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Wow, does anyone else agree that the train shown was a taxi cab? Link to post Share on other sites
CycloneMan 0 Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 I was at the park yesterday, and they had the Picnic Grove opened to the public, so I got some shots (using my new camcorder) of the construction site. The enterance way from behind the wall The locker tent The beauty of long arms! Trees have been added for the over flow queue (similar to Batman). More trees. I just want to point out, that this building isn't really as big as everyone thinks. It's actually smaller than Skull Mountain's, it's just up in your face. A look, throuh the empty observatory. It's actually now an invisible coaster...it's really there...I swear It does look better with out the coaster there. I hope they do something good with it! And before the flaming, this is how I got the shots. The Picnic grove was open to the pubic for "Kosher food" -Dainan "Enjoy" Rafferty Link to post Share on other sites
yankees15 0 Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 I don't know if anyone else noticed this, but Great Adventure's home page has a count down for when TDK opens. May 15 looks to be the date for TDK! Link to post Share on other sites
BuddyChrist 0 Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 Another new update! They are sure moving fast with opening approaching very quickly! Construction crews are working fast and furious The Gotham City Rail sign is in place! Closer look at the Preshow building Queue landscaping is being done where Chiller's elements once stood Another look of the Preshow building, hopefully we see more of the facade go up soon! If you'd like to see the full gallery, click on the link below! I'll try and keep everyone updated when more comes in! http://www.gadvonline.com/photogallery/thumbnails.php?album=37 Link to post Share on other sites

Hercules 0 Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 I was going to try to go today between finals, but I decided it was more important to find a job. I'll head to the park next week depending on my schedule, unless Mike is still planning on going tomorrow. Link to post Share on other sites
packfanlv 0 Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 I actually think it looks pretty good from that movie. Does anyone know if there is a dark ride portion or if it is just a standard mouse with the theming? I love how the "guests" at the end hit the message home that it is thrilling but not too scary for the entire family! Thanks for posting it. In that first picture with the family holding their arms up, are they actually going up the lift hill? I can see the chain beneath them. Link to post Share on other sites
KGA29 0 Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 Anyone notice that in the first picture (with the car and the family), the car seems to be travelling downwards, but the track looks like lift hill? Overall from the movie it looks like a great ride. Link to post Share on other sites
Wes 0 Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 Looks like Six Flags did a decent job of theming it. Link to post Share on other sites
CoasterLover 0 Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 In the first picture, it looks like they are actually cresting the top of the lift hill and, as with most mice coasters, the chain actually goes down the first drop slightly to ensure that the car clears the lift. If this is the case, it would explain both why they have their hands up and why it appears the car is going downhill, yet you can still see the chain. Link to post Share on other sites

Yes after looking at it again that does seem to be the logical explanation. Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites
Hercules 0 Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 I think the question is, how long will the station and queue look that nice? Link to post Share on other sites

coastercrazed49 0 Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 Wow that has to be the coolest Wild Mouse coaster I have ever seen. The theming also looks really good, maybe above Six Flags standards. To bad this won't come to SFNE until next year. Link to post Share on other sites
CycloneMan 0 Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 ^^The park was packed with enthusiasts and school groups! I got to ride because I was with the Media Day (update coming soon), the line was incredibly over flowing when I left Link to post Share on other sites
