Dark Knight coaster confirmed for SFGAm in 2008

by **BrianPlencner** on March 14th, 2008, 10:27 pm

Did anyone else find it odd that the descriptions next to the pictures do not match up to the actual picture?

For example: One of the captions says "Inside Theatre Royale the construction has begun. The large steel studs that are being framed will be the structure for the pre-show room."

The picture directly to the left of this is NOT the inside of Theatre Royale, but a shot showing some work on the foundation of the building for TDK!

In fact, there are NO pictures on that page showing the inside of Theatre Royale.

Sure, I'm glad that we have more updates, but I would think the descriptions would line up or follow the pictures that were posted.

I was thinking the same thing! Let's hope they start shaking their butts on the outside parts...it's getting closer to April as we speak!

by **Demon_07** on March 15th, 2008, 9:03 pm

By April, the building SHOULD be up.

The new pics on screamscape are awesome! the Dark Knight looks better every time! With it being indoors, at least bad weather will never close it. Looks like they just need to put the thing up since verything seems to be at the park already.

^That could change. After CP let Disaster Transport deteriorate, they can't run that while it's raining. Hopefully Six Flags does a better job with upkeep.

I agree, the pics on Screamscape were the best we've seen yet! Let's hope the source that leaked that to them keeps it up! :wink:

Dark Knight has gone Vertical! These were taken from a hill near the entrance gate, and at the entrance gate.

by **DejaVu2001** on March 18th, 2008, 10:49 pm

I have two things to say:
1. FINALLY
2. There's still no way it is opening on Opening Day.

by **Chitown** on March 19th, 2008, 12:47 am

^They still have over a month, and once the building is up, any adverse weather won't slow down putting the coaster and theming in.

I still think it's a possibility.

And they can have two crews working on both the track and the building/theming at the same time. Its just a mouse, it wont take that long.

Nice find sfgam1! I'm really hyped about this ride. It's about time SFGAM got something like this. I really like the direction they are headed.

by **sfgam1** on March 19th, 2008, 5:40 pm

its from february but it is much better seen from in front than in the back trying to see from behind trees.

by **Colonel Mustard** on March 19th, 2008, 5:42 pm

Yeah, From What I've been told, they've progressed quite a bit since then.

by **LAFFfan4lyfe** on March 19th, 2008, 5:51 pm

things are looking good so far. I'm really excited to see how this turns out. Finally things are changing!

by **BrianPlencner** on March 19th, 2008, 6:34 pm

I stopped by South Park on my way home from work around 5:30 PM. They did more work on the building for the new ride. I had my camera, but due to the position of the sun, I did not get any pictures. So, this wekend if someone has the chance to go out to South Park, you will be able to get some very good pictures of the new building.

I can't wait to see the look on the GP'ers faces when they see how the theater was transformed into the waiting and preshow area.
