RE: Future Park Plans
No, this definitely sounds like a line of sight test.

RE: Future Park Plans
I doubt it since it would be way to early and they don't typically do that from my knowledge.
Resort anyone?

RE: Future Park Plans
Don't they have wind vanes and such on every roller coaster? Why would they need a balloon?

RE: Future Park Plans
This was done first thing in the morning though and, more importantly, it doesn't sound like it was done near the railroad bridge, Festhaus Park, or the boneyard. It sounds like it was conducted somewhere within the park's main loop...

Just throwing this out there,
Could this be a height test for something either for HOS or CT?

RE: Future Park Plans
That would be very amazing if they built anything for HOS that needed a height test.

Maybe it is for a GIANT floating balloon with a ghost sheet hanging around it during HOS.

I've been told by multiple sources now that this morning's line of sight test was conducted somewhere near Da Vinci's Garden of Inventions and Escape from Pompeii. It sounds as though it was likely in the 70ft to 110ft range though that's just a very rough estimate judging by the surrounding structures. Still digging...

I was in the park this morning, spent a lot of time in the general Italy/Sesame area, and didn't see anything. Maybe it was done before the park opened.
There's a lot of room back in those woods, and the Festa Italia bridge begins at that path junction which is just dying to get a 4th leg...

Another update: I've gotten more eyewitness reports stating that a line of sight test balloon was flown over the Italian-themed section of the park early yesterday morning. It sounds like the test was over and done with around 11am at the latest. Furthermore and perhaps more importantly, I've been told by a few people now that it's not entertainment related. If true, that rules out Howl-O-Scream and Christmas Town prep.
Guys... I think there may be something on the docket for 2014 or 2015 that we don't know about.
