I am very excited for this new ride, for many reasons.. 1) we need a new coaster, 2) it's B&M quality finally, and 3) more inversions.
With that said, I really do not like the location of the proposed project.. a coaster going into/over the parking lot, such a Six Flags move.
A good location is 1) the area by Calypso (take out one of the three automobile rides), 2) the area currently roamed by fake dinosaurs that are stupid and a waste of money.
DT should stay, because it's great for beginners and families. Take that ugly structure off and make it Avalanche Run again with awesome paint.
Doing away with SS is saddening, just from a historical perspective, but I'd really like to see a replacement in the very near future. One that is much taller than SS and has air conditioning :)

Look Superman:TUF, they removed the parking lot and gave it some grass. And GL:FF got some fresh asphalt. It's not the best solution, but It does look ALLOT better than a plain/beat-up parking lot.
BTW, the Air-base theme was *too* convenient for the lazy landscape designers/site planners.

The new ride will be called the Angry Seagull and it will poop on guests as they pass through the front entrance.

So that's the reason it's going over the parking lot, but cars will actually be allowed to park underneath the ride so they can be "bombed" as well.
So for colors, we are looking at a white spine, gray running rails, and orange supports!
