[Not For Sale]

in a bid to entice annual passholders to ride the roller coaster time and again, Louis revealed that there will be some “Easter Eggs” — hidden content — built into the ride, that will only be accessible to those with an annual pass.

Any ideas on how this would be implemented/what it would be like?

[traincrossin]

Bonus tracks? I don't know how they would know if you're a passholder, but maybe there's a hidden menu on the touchscreens or something.

[RctInfinity]

^^ It's great to hear that the song list would "evolve" over time with new artists!

[Snicket]

We know where the entrance is:

 

[atem122]

I'm not gonna lie, that's some pretty good looking signage

[HatetoFLY]

Singles! How sweet it is. Should be pretty interesting to see how this "easter egg" hunt will turn out.

 

Edit: Scratch that the article has been changed.

[RctInfinity]

Hooray, an obvious single rider line! Take that, Doctor Doom's Fearfall!

More like 5 or 6 depending on traffic.

Which, by the way, also has a single rider line upstairs from the arcade. They used to advertise it out front, but it's always been open when I have been there.

[RctInfinity]

^ Lol, which was why I said "obvious." I had so much trouble finding it at first.

[coolcalicoaster]

I think this ride is going to kick Manta's ass!

[vekoma_fan]

Well, if it opens it might kick Mantas ass... but so far we all know who's ass that's being kicked at the moment...

[jarmor]

at this point I am so not interested in this ride...I mean the momentum has died for me...

 

That is until the rings are finally put up!

[itsasamccormick]

.... waiting to here that the rides open

5 or 6!? Sure, if you're driving 40 mph.

Kind of have to... damn senior Florida drivers.

There is no way this is happening now. Don't get your hopes up.

[Keasbey Nights]

Yeah, I was at the parks on Tuesday, and there was a crane working on HRRR's lift. However, I got to see a practice train run.

 

One of my friends up there today texted me and said that it was open and he was able to ride it, but I don't believe him for a second. I asked him to send a picture of it running, and he refused. However, if anybody would like to prove me wrong, I'd be more than glad.

[Homeboy23]

Probably saw employees on it.

[astro]

I for one, will be dancing to Stronger by Kayne West. I like that song alot!

[retroeric]

Can I ask a question on the music choices? How come no movie scores? I thought there was supposed to be Back to the Future and Star Wars themes?

 

This is a theme park about movies right? And the ride itself has HOLLYWOOD right in it's name. Makes no sense to offer no film soundtracks. The snubbing of Back to the Future is the most puzzling. Not only do they (Universal) own the rights, but with the closing of BTTF last year it would have been a nice offering to have the music a choice on this new ride.

 

Oh well...

[Thelegendarymatthew]

Does anyone find it funny that "Stronger" and "Harder,Better, Faster, Stronger" are on the listing?

 

I'll be listening to Kick start my Heart, Bring me back to life, and Devil went down to Georgia.

 

(I had to edit this, because I accidentally wrote "Bring me back to leaf")
