Either way, I just hope they pull out all the stops with the money allocated for this project. Hope the theming is on par with WF and PK. It would be great to have another truly one of a kind coaster we can be proud to see at SDC.
On par? Hell, I hope the theming does nothing less than to blow those two out of the water atmosphere-wise. Wildfire has a great back story and an awesome station, but the ride is just out there on a hillside. PK doesn't even have all that nice of a station IMO. The launch barn is neat, but again the ride is just out there on a hillside.
Incorporating tunnels, track "near misses", etc. can really transform a coaster into a whole new experience beyond just a few drops and twists. I wish more parks cared enough about the long term enjoyment of their rides to take note of that.
At the very least, I hope this coaster has a nice backstory and station on par with Wildfire since they're building it from the ground up.
