29yrswithaGApass Posted September 6, 2018 Report Share Posted September 6, 2018 I can’t say I am wild about the placement of the ride. I get why it was placed there but it takes away from the entrance to the area. Maybe if they move or enhance the land’s portal by bringing it to the opposite side of the bridge.

Pineracer Posted September 6, 2018 Report Share Posted September 6, 2018 I watched the Livestream and when they played Finnegan’s Wake, I got thrown off even though there was another clue of him on a swing. Especially since the song is about a guy's funeral (beside the point). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GAcoaster Posted September 14, 2018 Report Share Posted September 14, 2018 The idea of the song has always been a play on words: Finnegan's Wake = Finn's again (a)wake The idea of a wake was originally to assure someone was really dead before they buried them. I wouldn't read anything into the name other than being a traditional Irish name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there even "land" there? Isn't that water? That's a horrible place for a ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAcoaster Posted December 23, 2018 Report Share Posted December 23, 2018 The idea is that it will swing out over the water below. Looking at the footings in place I think it will not be as terrible as some people have made it out to be for location. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
