I learn the hard way when I was all excited for Mystery Mine at Dollywood and when I got there last July... I was somewhat surprise in the part where it is dark from some peeps camera phone that can't pick up the soft light. This time I'm going to try not to find the spoliers to see what's The Dark Knight is all about before heading there. Maybe that will stand out to me and be super surprise!

I don't think anyone has posted this yet, But it's kind of a sneak peak animation of what the ride will be like, and you can see some of the things we've seen in concept art. This definetely looks even better then I expected. (Not Disney Standards, But Still really great!)

I saw that video in another thread. It's nice to be able to see some kind of video about the coaster finally.

Looks like it is gonna be a cool ride. Although, I'm not thrilled that a lot of the billboards, and such, in the ride looks like nothing more then cheap cardboard. Maybe it's just the animation. Anywho I am looking forward to it!
This is where I would usually put stuff. Can't think of anything right now... =/

^^ Plus you have to think.. are you really going to be able to tell that much if it is? You're on a rollercoaster! THEMED ROLLERCOASTER!! Something I have never heard of at Six Flags... WHOA! Point being, It will be too dark/too fast of a ride to really 'tell' what it is, but who knows?! We'll see this spring!!!

I agree with you. With the money they're spending though, I doubt it's cardboard... :lol:

^Are you going opening day? I went to V2 first thing one morning in September and it was dead there. We were up next to ride and the harnesses got stuck. So we headed over to Iron Wolf with some advil then back over to V2 once it was fixed.

^Advil isn't strong enough for me when it comes to Iron Wolf anymore. A nice 2-hour coma does the trick

Advil works, going up the chainlift that is. If you think I was talking about the WHOLE ride you must out of your mind! Advil definately isn't strong enogh for Wolf. Anyways, the reason why I asks you that Demon_07, because we can meet up and ride Bull if you want.
