That's pretty awesome. It couldn't come at a better time either, because I'm going next year.

Perfect addition! It's nice to see these new owners serving this park well! I'm happy for them, boy could they use a new coaster too!

I'm curious on what they are going to do with Batman The Escape that they have sitting on site and SF left them when they sold the park.

Also hopefully that coaster runs more than one train like it did when it was built in Italy.

Is the park really big enough/the ride really long enough where that would be an issue to only run one?! Also, has anyone been on one, how are they??! I've always liked the concept.

one 12 or 16 person train is what it had in Italy, with Superman Running 2 trains I've seen full queue which is over an hour. (36 passenger trains I believe)

As that guy said at NCC this year. Since they added this instead of Batman probably means that Batman is with Astroworld. In Coaster Heaven. :cry:


However Frontier City is clearing land for something and they are both owned by the same company. All I'm thinking.
