JetsDevs4Lyf Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 Looks amazing. I am loving the detail that looks like it is going into the exterior and from the pictures we have had so far about items being installed inside for theming and ride experience, I think this is going to be one heck of a different mouse experience.

The Master Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 (edited) I was at the park on Monday, the front building in that picture is taking shape! Also they are setting up a cover for lockers outside of Dark Knight. They are only setting up one cover so I guess it won't have that many lockers (my guess the same number of lockers that B:TR has) which could be a problem for being a new big ride.

Flyin Phil Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 Nice Update....Thanks for Posting I'm still wondering if I will be able to FIT into the cars. From the picture I saw floating around the internet of the cars, I think I will. The leg room looks greater than a standard wild mouse, which I cannot fit into, and even more than Skull Mountain. But only time will tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

29yrswithaGApass Posted April 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2008 This building could look really cool at night with the proper lighting effects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetsDevs4Lyf Posted April 24, 2008 Report Share Posted April 24, 2008 It would really be awesome to be walking towards the right exterior lit at night and look as though you are walking up on a real piece of Gotham City. Done right this could be their best bit of theming to date considering all the potential renderings are showing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuddyChrist Posted April 24, 2008 Report Share Posted April 24, 2008 Hopefully, they'll take care of the effects on the ride and not let it go like Chiller's lights and effects. I'm assuming that the city skyline will be painted on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29yrswithaGApass Posted April 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2008 Hopefully the guests will take care of the scenery and effects too and not be slobs. The facade is painted on so enjoy it this year while it looks its best... it will probably start fading this summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetsDevs4Lyf Posted April 25, 2008 Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 We as guests should be allowed to smack those toehr guests we see screwing with ride scenery and stuff. That would put and end to things really quickly haha. But in all seriousness, it is almost impossible to stop people from ruining things especially as we've talked about on here many times before with the groups of kids who just get dropped at the park and become our problem for the day. I can only imagine how long it's gonna take for part of the indoor queue to become covered in gum because we all know it's inevitable.

JetsDevs4Lyf Posted May 2, 2008 Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 I like the entranceway but am curious as to hwo well it is going to come off in the end. With the ride opening soon I am sure we will see some serious progress soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Davidson Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 Are you guys sure that isn't Six Flags Great America's entrance way? For we don't have an actual door in front of our GCR building though they do, as well as they have two buildings to the left and the right of it while we only have the queue continuing to the left..

The rendering was sent to us by Great Adventure as part of their official media material, although I think a lot of the details in that view are for SFGAm. I don't think ours will have the "elevated tracks" feature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rendering in post #1 is Great Adventure, the rendering in post #15 is Great America. They're obviously two very different buildings...

SF should do what Disney does, put most of the theming out of hand's reach of guests. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetsDevs4Lyf Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 I'm sure they would like to do this, but with the queues for some of the rides, especially new ones, being as long a they tend to be, it is tough to find that right balance of theming and landscaping away from people and having enough room for lines I can only imagine.
