Talk about anything that has to do with Six Flags Great America and Hurricane Harbor here.

That way it could be staggered, and avoid the problem of having a long wait, followed by moving quickly, then another long wait. Something that plauges rides like Viper and Deja Vu where guests are grouped. If there were two pre-show rooms they could be staggered and that problem would be minimal.

Makes me wish Six Flags, as a corporation, had common sense.

Sort of like what Universal does with its rides, like Twister and Earthquake.

I'm sure many of the central Florida Attractions Do it, but then again, many of the attractions at parks like disney also have multiple tracks, like Space Mountain, or multiple show areas like Soarin' and Mission Space. And, of course we know there will only be one track of Dark Knight...Or do we....We don't really know anything about this ride...

I think the preshow should be like RRC. where you wait in differnet rooms so it doesnt seem like waiting.

Well, I guess all the rumors and speculation can end now after a post with such information in it has cleared up all of our questions.

^ Then whats the point of even bringing anything like this up, except to tell tell everyone "I know what the coaster layout is, but I can't show/tell you"

It's like getting teased by a hot girl that you know that you can never have.

It was a picture of a piece of paper with "the dark knight coaster" written on it...so I didn't think it could spawn this much conversation...sorry if I started something.

The dipin dots guy told me that all three of them would not be the same. There will be a few differences.

As far as I know, it's just a field as of right now...but stuff has probably been done underground or to the theatre that we can't see.

actually it's different from most mack mice, due to new braking system the final bump before going into the brakes has been removed, Nigloland in France has the first of that model
