Dark Knight coaster confirmed for SFGAm in 2008

[ttd rox]

If you think about this month and spring break which leads into April, there's really not too much longer. NOT!

[cycamps]

I don't get headaches from IW. I must be the only one...

[Demon_07]

Are you tall?

[cycamps]

Yup, 6'1"... My head still gets banged around, but it never results in a headache.

[Demon_07]

I never get headbanging on demon and I'm only 5-7

I like all the new updates that have surfaced on both that Dark Knight website previously posted and on Screamscape today! The Theatre was hardly recognizable and looks like a brand new space and the video animation linked on Screamscape makes the parts that aren't scenes seem just as entertaining! As more things begin to surface about the ride, i'm beginning to get more and more excited!

[ttd rox]

I get headaches, but I'm only 5-2 I guess I'm just wanna of those short types.

[crumale]

I'm also 6-1 and my head gets banged around my ears are red but it doesn't result in a headache.

[ttd rox]

I don't know if its good or bad that I'm 5-2.

According to the drawing, the ride layout looks like it's exactly the same as Ragin' Cajun. At least the cars look neat and unique. If this ride's the same as Cajun, they may as well move that somewhere else. But I don't know yet.

Here we go, SPOILER WARNING on the front page: Do not proceed unless you want to decrease the thrilling experience and surprises that await you on this ride.

^We established it's the same exact layout a very long time ago.

[DejaVu2001]

^ and ^^

We never established it is the same exact layout, because it isn't. It is similar, but not identical. Ragin' Cajun has 2 levels of hairpin curves. Dark Knight only has hairpin curves on the top level. Instead, the Dark Knight has more hills.

[Trailblazer Tony]

^Yeah, i was just going to say that. They are two different experiences and i've been on both. You will not be able to tell that they are the same unless you REALLY pay attention, and most people won't pay that close attention.

[DejaVu2001]

So, I drove by SFGAm today. No visible change on Deja Vu. As for Dark Knight, they have done alot of work on Theatre Royale. It looks like the structure for the new front of the building is complete.

[Demon_07]

Are there any other pics of that?

[Trailblazer Tony]

Yeah, it looks like the converting of Theatre Royale is coming along quite well, which is probably the best they can do in this weather (since the stage of construction they are in right now would involve concrete)

[ttd rox]

The way The Daily Herald puts it, it sounds like the que lines are going to have amazing scenery/effects as well as the ride.

[cycamps]

It's really not that long until it opens! They better get working...

[Demon_07]

52 days anyway.

Where exactly do you see theatre royale?

[Demon_07]

See where the red and blue building is? There's your answer.

[crumale]

This will be a great coaster.

[Demon_07]

It may be another coaster that loses theming over the years. Enjoy it while you can so when we're all geezers, we can say, Yup, I rode The Dark Knight back when it was good.

[cycamps]

It's truely unfortunate that GAm has had all of these setbacks. (weather wise) I imagine that they have their hands full with the deconstruction of Vu, along with the general upkeep with everything else in the park.
