TBH I don't think there's going to really be any theming beyond "IT'S IRISH" (hence the colors). It's a flat with a short open queue and not a lot of decorative (i.e., non-functional) elements. Not every ride can be Da Vinci's Cradle -- where would theming even GO on this dang thing? I wouldn't get my hopes up for anything other than MAYBE (hard maybe) some castle ruin rockwork.
Not really the spot for this but I think theming the entire hamlet around CH would be really cool.
These swing rides are fun to ride I remember being a crash test dummy for Skyhawk at CP, when I worked there. I just wish they would theme something like to match the ride and theme it to maybe have another turret and theme it like entrance into Kilarney. or I think witth BGW creative they missed a big chance to make it to Irish folklore. Besides isn't Finnegan the drunk guy that they think is dead for Finnegan's Wake. However, maybe the ride will be fun with looking down at the hamlet when you sit on the front side. I agree with @Nicole about how BGW is doing some weird stuff like Invadr, and some of the stories for it and other ideas and stuff they have done that is like WTF are they thinking. I hope the noise of this swing ride doesn't scare the animals in the area, they do have a lot of noise from what I remember
I've said before that restraints are for casuals. This must be the park's way of making riders grow a pair.
I'm more amused by the fact that they're going to relocate Nessie, Griffon, MT, and the highland stables. Why didn't the people here catch those permits

That young lady in the light blue top looks like she's about ready to become a human turkey leg/funnel cake fountain.
Also, MT is now apparently only ~80' Tall
The stone bases makes me wish they covered the entire arch with that stone material. That'd look very good in the surroundings.
I will say, that despite the somewhat... sad... photoshop errors, it reality comes close to matching the rendering, I am not mad at it it.
This marketing art does look rather nice and I do like the "stone" bases, it'll look incredible once the ride has opened.
Are you suggesting that marketing concept art might be inaccurate?
Well I mean MT and Griffin are on wheels so that they can wheel them out into the England parking lot so they line up right with the shot so it's possible.
I too would love to fly out of my restraintless seat and land perfectly into the skyride.
I wonder when the ride will be completed by. It seems like they should almost be done with footer work, so hopefully we go vertical sometime soon if we haven't already.
Maybe but you really can't do concrete work in either the wet or extreme cold so they could easily be running behind do to the weather.
