Can't lie, this is by far my favorite concept yet. But like you said, I don't know if that's doable with Anaconda still around.

I would like to note that panthers also have spots, and with the chosen colors of the spots and lack of contrast that's what it looks like they're hinting at, but I could just be reading to much into it and that could be them not trying to be to obvious. But any who my biggest wish here is that they redo the front of the trains to resemble whatever big cat they're retheming it to like cheetah hunts trains.
The detailed map at the entrance to Jungle X lists a panther or tiger as the potential animal for the temple (or just felines in general).
The fact that “anaconda” is specifically called out for the serpent temple feels like almost a dead giveaway that Anaconda will be the snake temple. (The “scorpion” callout is interesting though because it’s so different from serpents and anacondas, and all the other groupings of animals are related. Red herring? Hint? Maybe Anaconda’s eventual replacement could have a scorpion theme?)
Surprisingly enough, today’s operations were “Ladies and…… GENTLEMEN, START YOUR ENGINES!”
The sound byte played for every run of the train I could hear today.
The sound bite is likely not DEIs IP, so they may still have a license to use it.
That phrase is trademarked by the Indianapolis Motor Speedway because it originated with the Indy 500. From what I have read, you are allowed to say it, but merchandise or advertising printed with the phrase is prohibited.
The sign is good! The train is fugly
“good LORD what is happening in there?”
“Project 305”
It's even worse when seen from the side where the grey strip and other markers are still visible leaving no doubt that all they did was paint over the 3.
Did anybody get a photo of the whole area including the on photos building and where Dale Earnhardt’s car used to be?
I wouldn't be surprised if this was used intermittently as a nostalgia play to drive ridership during this "in between" year for the coaster.
No but there is nothing but benches and trash cans at the location that the car was at.
This sends major Steel Curtain vibes, but looks sick to me...
Also, there's apparently some Virginia-based cryptozoological stories about Black Jaguars / Pumas that they could potentially theme the ride around:

Appalachian Black Panther
A panther is a term applied to several species of big cat when they occur as solid black. Leopards, bobcats and jaguars for instance are usually spotted – but melanism (an increased amount of dark pigment caused by melanin) can cause any of these species to be all black. Spotted and all-black...

The lead car is shiny though featureless. The grey strip is on the other cars and does look a lot like the old beat up Z28 in a driveway up the road.

As previously mentioned, I hope they remove or replace that ugly wooden fence with something that opens up views to the lake and 305's first turn or with something that is at least much more aesthetically pleasing/themed.

Blastertoise (AgentGiga on Reddit) rethemed the ride to a certain obscure Disney character using ChatGPT, and now I'm paranoid it's gonna be real...
The alien leader would be pissed.
In the interest of heading off rumors the dirt and construction equipment behind 305 are simply dirt relocation from the 2025 work and nothing more
