Yea, I'm tired and cant read. I'm used to the other 2 scooby doo coasters at KI and KD. I'm not sure how similar ours will be with theming wise. Depends on how well they do it.

That gives me some hope. Shapiro, you talked a big talk with this coaster as far as theming goes. I hope it can rival Scooby, cause that would be a big deal IMO.

That actually looks really awesome if were getting something similiar to that...

I'm sure the coaster will be ready to operate, I bet the theming wont be done by then...

Maybe they are going to reopen "Adventure Theater" in Chillers observatory.
Anyone remember almost falling over in that place while watching the movie?

I can see it opening in April. The only thing they are going to have to worry about is theming. The ride will snap together in 3 days like a lego set

OMG I remember that . There was a rollercoaster movie in there right ? and I remember always being told you can't sit down .

Adventure Theater was great, it was like Imax before it's time. I also remember the one in Ocean City on the boardwalk.

As for DK, I could wait till next season.

Hey I want a lego set that easy to put together Have any of you tried to put together Harry Potters Lego Castle?? 3 Days would be a charm ..LOL

GADVwow · « **Reply #88 on:** January 06, 2008, 05:41:56 PM »

You would think that the park's website would spell the name of the ride correctly...wouldn't you?

Bubba Z · « **Reply #89 on:** January 07, 2008, 02:12:11 AM »

I finished it in 3hrs , but I'm a lego pro. As for the Dark Knight, that would take me at least five years by myself.

Here are some pics from NoCoaster 2008 which was held on Jan 18th 2008
Expect to see similar things at Eastcoaster in 12 days.

the below pics are From the Black Knight out at Six Flags Great America

here is a quote from a recent trip report about Black Knight

"Dark Knight cost $7.5. It will be heavily themed and have a preshow. The Cars will not stop in the station (similar to Disney). The rides story line is themed to you trying to escape Gotham City. The queue will be in the Theater Royale (Six Flags Great America). Christopher Nolan, the director of Dark Knight, was extremely hands on with the theming of the ride to ensure it followed the story line of the movie. It is extremely rare for a ride themed to a movie, to be allowed to open before said movie. There will be an event at the park. Probably the 10th or 17th of May(Six Flags Great America). It's not set yet. Everyone at the event received a "Font of the Line" pass for Dark Knight."

The 28-year-old actor has a two year old daughter with former fiancee Michelle Williams -- they separated in September, 2007. He plays The Joker in the upcoming Batman film, "The Dark Knight" and is perhaps best known for his groundbreaking role as Ennis in "Brokeback Mountain."
