With a complicated enough backstory, it could be justified. Something about the well traveled adventurers creating a private lounge full of many of many of their favorite finds from their various expeditions and serving the finest drinks they encountered on their travels.

I'd much rather them go a more straightforward route and simply theme it to the jungle and/or the expedition though. I think it's almost always better to reenforce the existing theme more than it would be to try to branch off of it even more. The lore is already incredibly complex.

While the discussion has cooled down, the hype certainly hasn't, so here is a collection of imagined layouts:

Vertical Thrills' Halcyon. VERY aspirational, especially with the "World's Longest"... still I really like the tilted loop over a redundant straight one (and seems like a direction B&M is willing to explore given Iron Menace) and the airtime hill. I do hope we get a nice floater moment in this ride.

Coaster Bros' (nameless). More realistic length and those last two inversions look great and whippy, found the first half a bit uninspiring.

Forced Coasters' (nameless). Seems to take some inspiration from Anaconda... I do like those helices though, KD could use a ride with a forceful helix.

Kudos to the above and @CoasterMac for feeding our imaginations! When do folks think we can expect to see more information, such as a site plan, etc?
 
Last time a major YouTuber that I followed made a "bold prediction" it was ElToroRyan and the Zamperla thing. :p
No, but Screamscape, keep telling me how RoS at Darien Lake is getting removed.

Could you add some context to your post? Who said this and why should we/ shouldn't we care? It appears to be a screenshot of a random reddit comment.

It actually wasn't from Reddit, it was a recent comment on a Youtube video about the wing coaster station leak. I can't say who it was as to not call anyone out by name, but they are very insistent in their belief that a wing coaster isn't happening solely because of Tumbili having similar seating, and everything leaked by KDFans is "made-up." I myself have replied to them multiple times trying to talk some sense into them but they never even respond.

Yes, the average thoosie has a serious lack of understanding the industry, but this user seems to be on another level where they are SO tied to their own beliefs that they even shoot other people's thoughts down, even those from the most reliable sources. It gets really annoying. But eh, let them have their fun, and I can only wonder about their reaction when this thing is finally announced.

But the main point is that I wonder what everyone thinks about the idea that these recent leaks were of "a proposed concept that was later abandoned in favor of something completely different." Are we sure that the plans recently leaked will be the final product? I want to believe so, and it sounds legitimate. Also, the irony of them not believing in this site... but another site that makes up crazy rumors?? Wowwww. But again, people out there can have very strange ways of thinking.

Regardless, I won't and don't want to derail with any further information about internet strangers and will happily stick to wings, LSMs, and elaborate theming going forward.

I was at the ACE event yesterday and apparently 90% of the presubmitted questions were about Volcano's spot. While the PR guy answering questions was saying he couldn't talk about anything related to that there was definitely a wink and hint at a significant project at that location in the future.

Also from Reptilian it's quite noticeable that about a third of the gravel mound has been removed and that other cleanup around the site can be seen.

I think it’s kind of hilarious that one of BGW’s B&Ms will be KD’s two B&Ms combined into one
 
I had a dream a few nights ago that the layout leaked and it was a 2 track insane monstrosity that was taller than I305.


My mind....
