The thing that should be on fire (Pompeii's interior) has been functioning safely. In order to keep things from catching fire, they should add fire effects to everything.

Considering how much temporary queue space they have allocated for rides like Griffon, Pompeii, and even sitting in front of Darkastle, I'm pretty sure they'll account for that and have a temporary queue pen set up for the anticipated new ride crowds until the hype dies down.
Yes but where. This is an already cramped area between the gift shop the restaurant and the queue for BFE there really isn't as whole lotbnof extra space to put up a over flow queue without it being in the way of something.

they probably will make a roped off queue line that goes down the bridge towards heatherdowns, as that is the least intrusive waiting area compared to worming it through the hamlet.
 
I thought from the get go this would be much better suited (considering the layout stays as is) on the heatherdowns side of the creek since there is so much unused space with that additional path there. If they managed to combine that with the corner in Ireland I think it'll be fine

It's probably a budget, not necessarily all they are intending to spend, just the money they have alotted to this, including all site work like Shane said. I doubt they will spend that all.

Doubt it. The reason why the market value of the work to be performed is on permits is often that drives the permit fee. You'd need to know exactly what the attraction is, plus theming, support infrastructure, etc. know how how it maps to JCC's permit fee structure...but for something like this, the permit fees could be up to 1% of the value, so I doubt they'd inflate it on the permit application.

I can't speak of the situation here, but I can say I do know of one park that the township allows them to put in a really high estimate on the work and then pay retroactively for the permit fee based on what it actually costs. I can say I know they said the project was only going to cost $8-10 mil; but their permit said it was going to be $18-20 mil because they wanted the lee-way to not have to refile when they went over for unseen reasons.

Aside from name, theme, etc what do you all still want to know about this addition? Anything? No question is too "in the weeds."

I ask because I'm working on yet another 2019 article and I want to make sure I cover everything people want to know.

do you know if there is a set theme yet?

There's a lot of discussion of ride height. Maybe a better perspective would be how much taller would it be compared to the wall "towers" entering Ireland? Maybe someone with good Photoshop talent could "place" the ride on a street view of the Killarney entrance.
 
Ride height is on my list already. I'll make a point to give the entry tower height as a comparison point as well. ?

Whether marketing will decide to again "take a risk" with sharing details about the ride in advance, and whether they intend to crowd source input like "Decide the Ride," as they did last year with InvadR. More a curiosity on whether the park viewed the InvadR experience as a net positive and worth repeating...

Thanks Zachary.
 
I am honestly curious if this truly is just an addition, or if we are going to see some existing things in Killarney impacted enough to where it is considered a loss of something, so minor as it may be.

If we lose the Dippin Dots cart I will never go to the park again.
