Looks like there's going to be something over by the corkscrews.  I'm guessing it involves fire because its drawn in orange.

As some
I was thinking the cobra roll would be a good spot for the flame throwers spectator-wise, but I guess the dive loop is a safer location that still offers visibility from the queue. Anybody have any idea what the other effects are? What I'm most looking forward to is the on-board speakers, that will be the deal maker or breaker for me I think, so I can't wait to see those and hear what soundtrack they choose.

As someone who has ridden X2, you definitely do not want to have those flame throwers anywhere close to spectators. They are freaking hot and the temperature can be felt in all directions of the first blast.

Can you imagine walking down the entrance to Medusa under the sign with flames shooting up on both sides? That'd be GREAT!

So what else do you guys think is going to happen with this ride? I assume we're getting the same new train cars like Superman with speakers on them?

Speculate away!

^Sarcasm . I think it's his way of saying we are allowed to have FUN and say stuff like ....

Medusa will have midnight purple trains with pink polka dots.
It now features a splash down.
The trains will now shoot flames from the back as well.
More flames in the Cobra roll. Make sure you get an inside seat !
You need to wear an ipod now.  They saved money by not including the speakers on the train.
No more restraints, just Velcro suits and seats.
They removed a section of the track. This way the train can fly like a superhero.
The laser guns should be ready by opening day.
But most of all,  Dan you should like this, They are almost finished with the building that will enclose Medusa.

With all the money the park made last season, maybe FUN did buy it ?   ;)

Hmm, ya know how it gets reaal close to the ground at one point for the outside seats? I'm thinking a bit pit of molten lava! That'll teach them to keep their hands inside the train!

The track is getting extended to go completely into the safari. 
Wait until you see what a baboon does to a coaster train.

If you manage to grab a monkey as you pass over them and hold onto it until you get back to the station do you get to take it home?

So what you're proposing is that Lex Luthor is retheming Medusa as "PETA: The Ride"?  It's like "Old-School carousel" meets "New-School roller coaster", where brass rings are replaced with baboons, and instead of throwing them at targets like the rings, one is encouraged to hold on to them and liberate them from the Safari?  Sweet!

That game has too many levels! LOL.  I'm just not patient enough.  And there's probably some clue in there that I'm completely missing, like the bolded letters in the distribution depot game.

I think you have to keep track of the level characters in that sentinel game to create some secret code.  Way to far into it I realized this.  There was no way I was going to do it again.  I'll wait for Jimmy to figure it out!

I think this proves beyond all doubt I no longer fit the demographic of the target market.  What ever happened to Mr. Shapiro's supposedly targeting families and not teens?  ;)
