It looks like the tunnel is basically just a ramp down underneath the station while you’re exiting. Also I can’t tell for sure but it looks like the entire exit walkway is covered with a roof except for the section underneath the station since it’s already covered.

This is what I am seeing as well.

I completely agree with this. The only thing the site plans ruled out is a preshow, which was a long shot anyways. I will say in my opinion, the cattle pen queue does make "immersive theming" a bit harder, but as CCG said there could be things hanging from roofs, thing implanted into the ground, lighting, music, who knows what, that are not captured in site plans.

Typically you put more effort the closer you get to the station. John specifically mentioned the station. He told me Dorney Park sent him a bunch of stuff over from Iron Menace, which in my opinion the station was done well given the budget they probably had. I'm intrigued by the long single switchback leading up to the station, there is either potential for theming there and/or should give a really good views of the ride

Yes, that area will have a long ramp up to the station.

I'm curious to how Wrath will be lit up at night as well.
Maybe blue lights on the ground and yellow lift hill lights?

Anybody else curious about the lighting package for Wrath?

I’d like to see some red lighting somewhere. Since there is red on the train maybe they’ll use that color more in the theming.

I think we will see some kind of coloring. I've been intrigued about the lights... I've been intrigued about everything, it's so exciting getting something new!

A viewer (RideTheRollerCoasterMarcus1994) pointed out that one of Wrath's trains is on the main line in my latest video. You can hardly see it for a brief second, but it's there!

Also, according to the park map, Wrath will have a 48” height restriction.

Looks like it pulls 7 G's after the first drop before going into a reverse sidewinder or who knows what :lol: they even have the train moving in the station the operate direction

I will add that the gift shop will be named Rakshasa Relics, which I think is pretty cool. I like how Demon and Wrath will both have establishments right next to each other.

Also in the map, looks like the name of Totally Kickin Chicken will stay for now. John has mentioned a potential rename, but he also said that if it didn't happen this year, they can maybe come back to it down the road. So it seems like the whole mini-area for Demon and Wrath will not happen this year (if ever). Hopefully some day!

With Cedar Fair's love for restaurants, I wouldn't be surprised if we saw that renovated entirely with a patio-like seating area next to Wrath's drop. We already know the midway is being expanded there.

It looks great! I hope it’s testing this weekend so we can see it running in person!

Unless they get that fencing up for low areas up today, I kinda doubt we will see it run.

With how integrated it is with the midway, there's much higher risk of some idiot going in the construction area.

As for the test video, it completely skipped the holding brake (it's not really a brake) so it looks like that break-in period has officially started.

I was thinking this as well and agree. There needs to be some real fences before this is testing with guests in the park.
