Commercial Shoots are never on weekends
The park is too busy to do them
It is usually the day before media day.

You guys have seen a million testing videos. I caught something a little different. A block check.

I wasn't expecting Rakshasa to be able to have two trains up top. I actually expected it to stop at lift park (before it curves up).

I need to see a clearer shot of these statues! They look wild from what I've seen & the slashes on the station look so much better now. Getting excited to see what they do with the pillars in the station.

As far as i’m aware you need to be invited out by the parks PR department just like how the constructions tour was.

There is a new active form for a "Content Creator Event" that expires Friday May 16 at noon CST. I think it's overlapped with Media Day.

https://forms.office.com/Pages/Response ... 1XUjNaSC4u

Of note, the form says all footage gathered from the event must be posted by Saturday, May 24th. So good chance official opening day will be the 24th.

Has anyone been approved to do the video shoot?

Dan and CCG - you guys should definitely be there! I didn't know about the sign up until after the window closed :(

Just watched this new video from CoasterNick! They are really doing an amazing job with Wraths theming. It looks like something out of a Busch Gardens park. I'm very happy with the job Cedar fair is doing so far

With those lights on top of the heads, it makes me wonder if the large statues will be lit from the back cause if I'm not mistaken, in other photos, it looked like they were holding orbs behind their backs. Which now could have been lights. Hmm
