As stupid as it is to comment on this, the flagpoles were ON last season but had no flags. NOW the flagpoles are down.

V2 Update - the Straight Spike Side of V2's new Supports appears to be complete, and you can see them starting to work on the other side.

Also, the first coat of paint is now thru the lift hill. You can now easily see B: TR from the expressway because it is yellow.

Supposidy the lift on Batman is already painted so they probally have enough time to paint the ride. As for demon I have no idea how the progress is going.

I highly doubt it will take the whole month to paint Batman, they are out there almost every day working. The thing I am worried about is if they will be able to get the new rides built and open.
2010 is going to be one to remember forever!!

What is supposed to be happening to V2?

Those supports shouldn't take too long to put up. They didn't work very often at SFWoA and it took them no more than 2 weeks to have them up.

Yes to reduce the stress on the tower. As for Batmans paint job a forum on sixflags news had a trip report of great adventures opening day. They said that the paint was chipping off very frequently. And it was not painted well. I dont know if this will impact ours. To read the full story

Well, we can only hope that dosen't happen on our BTR.
That would suck, picture this..
You are coming down after the second loop and you get this yellow storm of paint chips flying at you, now that would suck.
This is where I would usually put stuff. Can't think of anything right now... =/

They should easily have them painted in that amount of time. As long as the waether is decent, that is.
My Top 5: 1)TTD, 2)Millennium Force, 3)Raptor, 4)Deja Vu, 5)Raging Bull
