Just needs some faded blacktop and a spinner now.

250' slingshot with neon lights

I'm guessing these additional raptors are to help guide guests to the semi-remote location of the coaster entrance?

"Follow the Raptors" and there's also statues in the main line running in the direction of the walkway down to the waterfront. I like it.

Guests will get lost on day 1. I guarantee it.

Day one they just waddle in the huge line. It will be controlled but I know what you mean

Anybody have any ideas what exactly is going on in the back of Mythos? Is that a fresh concrete slab there, or was there always one in that spot?

It's kind of crazy to think that once this ride is complete, it will be the first time since 2012 where there is no major construction in either of the parks.

The amount of things that have opened since 2012 is insane

Love all the raptors so far. Any clues on what's going to go in that little lookout circle on the Mythos side of the waterfront new viewing walkway?

Now all we need is Isla Nu-Bar down by the waterfront

I had heard that The Watering Hole was becoming Isla Nu-Bar.

All they would need to do is swap out the signage. And paint it.

Coca-Cola Presents Isla Nu-Bar, you mean?

I'd like to see a service change, maybe one line for alcohol and one for other drinks? Step aside and all....

I wish we could get Margaritaville Presents Isla Nu-Bar.

Move the freestyle machines to the popcorn stand in front of the Potter lockers. That would help with @JoeCamel's issue too.

Is there enough back of house there to do the conversion?

The Isla Nu-Bar menu/popularity made me think they had a decent sized kitchen back there.

Nu Bar is just a bar. No food

Some good footage of the car launching backward and relaunching on the second launch point

Seeing how “facts” are born in journalism for the theme park world should be a chilling reminder of how the “news” operates for EVERYTHING. And that’s kind of alarming. But I digress.

Agreed. Everyone I see that says Tron wasn't expensive makes me cringe just a little. They don't take into account things that have to be done beforehand to actually make the build possible. Heck, they had to move an entire canal and build the land back up to fill in a retention pond before it could even get started. Well that's part of the cost of putting the attraction together. And then you have to think about all the engineering that goes into planning and permitting. All that costs money...more than a dollar.

I mean I’m sure the Chris Pratt shirtless AA is quite expensive....

They could just use the Trump animatronic...same thing. Lmao

Well then
