I am a team member in the lakefront and the first coaster design wouldnt really work because it interfears with some of the buildings back there and also it is really close to the picnic grove and would disturb anyone hosting a group event that uses the picnic grove. I do like the second design but the area behind dark knight is used as a passage way for employes so that they dont have to walk to through the park. I use this path every day i work and it shaves off a couple minutes. A couple minutes may not seem like alot but when your running late its nice to get to your section without having to walk throught the crowds of guests. The area behind dark knight also lets the employes running dark knight get to their ride without having to go through the que. It also helps create an easy way for supervisors to get to Dark knight or other sections.
