I'm just baffled at why Cedar Fair chose that color scheme...

Why?  It shows their typical levels of brilliance and imagination.  These are the same people who came up with such names as Flight Deck, Drop Tower, The Crypt and Backlot Stunt Coaster.  Yes, they did come up with Beaver Land Mine Ride, but we know how that ended.

I like the colors to be honest, there somewhat loud but yet creative

...And just like that Voodoo is half built :)

nice. I am surprised that they didn't make it a dark purple/red/black color scheme or something more dark and evil.

Same thought here. They completely did not follow any of the colors listed in the logo really. Besides the yellow.

FEBRUARY 24, 2008

Six Flags Great Adventure,

Dark Knight Coaster \/

Six Flags Hurricane Harbor \/

www.flyinphilsphotos.com/amuse/nj/sfhh/2008-02-24/album0


from these shots you can see there is a lot of open space behind the new building and CHillers building is kind of far from the new build  ?

also here is a look back at the park in 1994 \/

Is it me, or would it make more sense to build the coaster first, then put the building around it up??


Yeah, that sucks about Chiller...I hate to see it like that. Hey, so we should get a group picture or something ok. I'll call you later!

I was thinking the same thing a few days ago when i seen the updated pics on the Six flags site.
I think they want to "keep it hidden"  with the Movie and theming.

that's why Angle didn't bring in any drawings or theming diagrams to Eastcoaster like they had at No-Coaster 2 weeks before she told me because the Movie Company and licensing wanted to keep it on the down low 

these are the pics she wanted to show. \/

if that building is going to house the entire attraction, then there is going to be A LOT of empty space. Wasnt the Chiller's station going to be used for something?

^ I'm going with the Hall of Justice maybe?  I also think it's easier to frame the building without the coaster getting in the way.  Just think if a cable snapped and an I beam fell on the track?  Plus...it will be warmer inside once the coaster can go up.

Wonder where they're going to have the queue for Farenheit?  Doesn't look to be much room!

Sue,
I was wondering the same thing.  It'll be tight but then again I didn't think they'd fit in a queue for Storm Runner either.  I was suprised to see that the station building covers a portion of the midway.

The first year of Storm Runner they had to use temporary rope queues because it was always overflowing.  Since that year, they've added a bunch more queues.  Hopefully they've learned from that!

Two ACE events (park events) at these parks in May and June with ERT on both.

I didn't know the full current queue wasn't there from the beginning.  If thats the case I hope they have some more space alotted for the queue.

As always great pics

When I was driving back from Knoebels Saturday night
 from the northeast extension turnpike you can see the 2 spikes lite up on Voodoo.
It looked cool from that distance.

Is it me, or does Laser at Dorney look like it's missing track pieces?  It looks like the track is missing on the right turn after the brakes and the right turn into the station.
