In general this would be akin to a lower capacity flat ride, so I'd think that they could open in 2021 without much hype unless COVID-19 restrictions are gone and they're free to pack the park again (doubtful), then go on all all-out marketing whammy for 2022 with whatever new big ride they'd put in assuming there's one coming at all.
I've heard they have it planned to open next year, but I assume next year's new pandemic will actually push it.
I thought assholes and being a selfish shitbag were already known pandemics. Learn something new daily!! ???
As far as we know, nothing has really happened on the site. Still plenty of time to have it ready for 2021 though. Fingers crossed!
It’s hardly a real coaster, so really all they have to do is unload it from the truck like a traveling carnival ride.
It will, but these things go up shockingly quickly—especially when the site is already cleared.
I honestly don't think we need to start asking any hard questions about this project till after Christmas. If we get into January 2021 and work hasn't really begun, then I'd start to get worried about a more substantial delay.

Based on how fast Dragon Slayer is going up, I'm guessing KD could probably have the structure completed by January or February because there is a rumor on another forum that this Free Spin will be the same model as Dragon Slayer.
Here's a few pictures showcasing the differences between Dragon Slayer, the Joker clones, and the S&S Freespin that was added in China last year.
I can't peg KD's to be an exact clone of Adventureland's model, but by the sounds of things if they're not going to be 100% clones they're probably going to be very similar.
I wonder if anyone has flown a drone over the construction site recently, I'd be interested to see how it looks now compared to early may.
Volcano: The Last Coaster (we get before getting the geauga lake treatment)
BATMAN: THE RIDE
Either Six Flags buys Kings Dominion or Six Flags buys the coaster for Six Flags America. Pick your poison—either way you get Batman: The Ride.
