Nothing but the FAA filing. We likely won't have confirmation until the park announcement in June*.
*Ryan said in a recent interview the announcement should be in June following Shoreline Pier's launch.

Yes, but only from the filing for this height clearance. Official statements have been "nearly 400 feet" and "around 400 feet."
The filing is usually the final height. Tormenta's filing was 309, and it's exactly 309.
A tall crane (not the big one we're waiting for) plus medium-sized crane are up around the valley today, per pics some posted. I'd assume that means they're assembling the last launch sections there, which have all been sitting for about two weeks.

The GAdv community is lucky to have Colin around for sure
If not for his videos I wouldn’t know about much of the activity around the park outside of project purple and shoreline pier.
Structures repainted? New trees? Those kinds of upgrades are extremely important when trying to rebuild a park, and I’m glad they’re being talked about

new hypothesis: Project Purple was intended for Knotts before we got shafted with it
-Purple
-Boysenberry Blast themed
-Linear shuttle as a spiritual nod to Montezooma
-Montezooma ended up being more salvageable than expected
-Moved to New Jersey

“Shafted” is such a wild word to use here. I’d assume most people in the world outside of maybe people with cedar point as their home park and apparently people with great adventure as their home park would be THRILLED to have something like this built at their park
The flaw with this hypothesis is that the timelines don't match up. Montezooma had already closed for its announced makeover before the initial concept even appeared in Cedar Fair surveys, so it's highly, highly unlikely the design was ever considered for the property.

Most people with SFGAdv as their home park are thrilled about this addition, or at least not vehemently opposed to it like a certain someone.
I'm seeing at least 12 pieces of launch track down there.
It’s northdetective, the thread was quiet for a bit so they had to come in here and rage bait so that there would instantly be a ton of messages. It’s like clockwork
Between Purple and Shoreline, I’m upset it isn’t my home park anymore. I’m planning a NJ trip next year solely because of Great Adventure, bonus points if I can schedule it well enough to be at Coney Island on the Cyclone’s centennial.
I came to say just that. There’s anywhere from 9-12 launch sections visible
I genuinely expected maximum maybe 6-7 more. Very intriguing
But this other angle and that angle do a great job at showing just how much space is still available to use

They better remove the asphalt by the time the ride opens next year, would make the largest difference.
Ryan's on the record saying it's not going to be a "parking lot coaster," so we're assuming that means landscaping to remove the asphalt under the footprint of the new coaster supports going out to the tower.
If you think Purple would fit anywhere at Knotts, let alone in the little Montezooma plot, your delusional. Oh, wait...
