Well, heres more on SFNE: http://www.wwlp.com/Global/story.asp?S= ... =menu600_1
The entire frame is done. That puts them slightly ahead of SFGAdv (SFGAdv will probably take the lead again now that SFNE is trapped in red tape again).
Meanwhile, SFGAm has no vertical construction whatsoever. There is no way SFGAm's Dark Knight Coaster is opening on Opening Day. SFNE has their entire building frame done, and plans to open the ride May 26th. That leaves two possibilities, either SFNE's is going to open way earlier than planned, or ours is opening way later than planned. Unfortunately, the latter seems far more likely.

Dark Knight coaster confirmed for SFGAm in 2008
http://blog.masslive.com/breakingnews/2 ... topwo.html
Thats from their town meeting this morning, and by the looks SFNE will be in second to have the coaster done since they got the framework up.
Didn't they announce that it would be open by Memorial Day weekend, not opening weekend? Iggy Waiting to fill this space with something stupid to say!
^ At No Coaster Con, they said it would be ready Opening Day.
^Thats what I heard too but we know how that always goes.

It does not look like it will open on time right now but you never know. There has been lots of snow which I sure is delaying the project.

Well, its a mouse so it wont take that long to build. The only thing they need to do is build the building. And, how long does a building really take to build? So I am assuming it will be open opening day.
Besides, we have time.... Does anyone know how long it took to build Cajun?
I think they started vertical construction around Opening Day 2004 and it opened in late May.
I realize the ride itself is easy to build. The point I'm trying to make here is that a park (SFNE) that isn't opening the ride until May 26th already has their building frame complete while ours is still dirt.
i wonder how much the snow has set them back..

^With it being so nice this weekend, I would've thought the cobra roll would have been gone or at least started.

^If I'm not mistaken, I believe he was talking about TDK construction.
I feel stupid now.....

do you know what i say, build a better coaster in all that extra room when you drive to the lot behind superman, we already have kid coasters, and dont make another super hero coaster unless it is like the Incedible Hulk in universal studios
Maybe I'm just misssing it, but I was trying to find how you would find that link on the actual page itself. For example, on The Dark Night page http://www.sixflags.com/greatAmerica/ri ... aster.aspx It does not list anywhere something like "Click here for Construction Photo's". While I know the link is real, I am just not seeing a page on the site that linked to it. --Brian
^the way how i found out was just use the SFGADV one and where it says greatadventure in the url, replace it with greatamerica or newengland
Well that too long enough to get those pics up and theres not really anything that exciting...
 This is where I would usually put stuff. Can't think of anything right now... =/
Good find on your part SFfan!
--Brian
Well Jon, you were a lot braver than i was when i was at that park. The neighbors came out so i panicked and drove away with no pics.

I was thinking the same thing. I thought it was sort of odd...
Six Flags Ameirca as the number 1 park at SFI.... this is JOKE!
^Thank you. Did you notice that on the official website, they changed TDK's opening date from April 26-Spring 2008

Go figure...
Hrmm...how did that guy get to where he did... My guess is he jumped the fence cause I am sure that fence extends to that lake and past it. If that is true, then he is brave. I'm not complaining though. I am always up for pics on TDK! This is where I would usually put stuff. Can't think of anything right now... =/
Very brave....
