RE: Project 2017 So, I guess the Le Mans car in the one video was just a complete red herring? Surely the theming isn't a runaway car in a haunted forest or old logging camp.

RE: Project 2017 Right, so the question would be, are the Gwazi trains going to be repurposed for use here, or will we get some new, custom themed mini-llennium flyer trains (assuming this is a family friendly coaster)? (I've only come back to see what's going on at the park recently, so I'm...

RE: Project 2017 So, going to be these repainted? [attachment=10343] Or maybe some mini-llennium flyer trains? I assume this is going to be a family friendly ride based on the amount of space being used.

I guess this was removed from the OP for whatever reason, so I'll put it back up. 251841080

This was posted a long time ago, but I just now saw it. Based on the logo, that glass would have been made in the late 70's.

RE: Project 2017 Lest anyone believe I actually think it's going to be a bobsled coaster, I was simply playing a humorous connect the dots game. It will almost certainly be a Mack spinner. Plenty of backstory options though: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fearsome_critters

RE: Project 2017 Solved it... Picture of Larry Giles showed a date of May, 1988. This is when he started working at the park. It's also when Avalanche opened at Kings Dominion. Avalanche is a Mack ride. A bobsled ride fits the theme of the area. Project 2017 is a bobsled coaster...

RE: New facial recognition entry system at BGW & WC If they're adding actual facial recognition tech, I don't understand what the point of the change would be. Gavin's right about the lack of reduction in time spent in line in that case. It seems they could have just invested in better...

RE: New facial recognition entry system at BGW & WC I'm sure the data will be stored in a pretty standard database connected to the internet. They'll need to be able to quickly send the pictures to whatever handheld device the employees will be using (if identification at the gate is the...

RE: Marco Polo's Marketplace & San Marco Changes Fresh paint with brick exposed in a way to make walls look old or degraded looks strange to me. I think they should have used flatter paint colors or covered the exposed brick.

RE: New facial recognition entry system at BGW & WC They used to take your picture when you actually bought the pass. I agree with Shane, seems like taking a picture of every pass member the first time they visit could cause a traffic jam, but I guess that would be worked out by the middle to...

As a kid, my favorite queue was definitely Questor. Obviously no elaborate scenes, no aquariums, but the drawings on the cave walls and sound effects worked really well in creating the story without having a video showing on a tv every 50 feet. The queue clearly stopped making sense after...

This has to be embarrassing for the park.  You shouldn't expect any invites to media events. (I have so many unread posts)

Got a follow from me. I have suspicions about who it is. I have no doubt it's a member of this site. I also think it may be someone that makes lots of topical jokes on Facebook.

Thanks, I appreciate it. I've tried to take my time getting every part of the app right before I release it.
