The best you can do is try out the test seat when it opens. cause even though there are similar rides/clones or models, each ride can be slightly different. My friend took a trip with me, rode Voodoo & can ride V2 here but can't fit in Wicked Twister...how, I have no clue.

Wow didn't realize how big the the new path would be. I have a feeling they will find a spot for jesters with all that room.

Mild Concern of mine:

It looks like the installation at Six Flags Over Texas did not get the station mechanism that rotates the seats forward to assist rider loading and un-loading. (Present at SFFT's Batman). This was absent from the Great Adventure model and is supposedly the reason their's has so much downtime.

I wonder if this means ours will have poor reliability...

I have to agree with the other post, you can see a rail that most likely rotates the seats as they enter the station. The Batman version has a rail on a hydraulic piston, this means it works similar to superman's seats....

....and we all know how well those work. :roll:

I get the feeling the leftovers of Cajun's pad are there to stay.....SFGAm loves to reuse just about anything.

Are the Joker's seats sitting in the Dark Knight's building? It looks like there is coaster track on the right side of the picture with the Joker's seats.

The curb from Rajun Cajun is still there on the right. Still no work on the midways it seems.

If that's still RC, then the pathway is going to be huge!

Curb I mentioned is from the backside of Cajun's area, not the front. This is where the Picnic Grove entrance still is.

Oh, I know. I thought the path would be the Picnic Grove entrance, not it as well as some of Cajun's area.

I hope they have a "seat 4" equivalent... :) I fit in there, with some help. LOL I'm soooooo looking forward to this, and the boys would be very sad if Dad couldn't come. :)
