Grandstands

Has anyone noticed that right across from where the trains will launch there are grandstands/bleachers in the midway for people to watch like you're at a real race? I was just looking at the picture closely and found that interesting.

Someone already mentioned this in another thread, but i think it is a good idea for people not able to ride or just too scared. It will be fun to watch the launch. I was thinking that they should make part of the que lines look like a grand stand so when you are riding it adds more to the experience.

Awesome idea. I'd love to sit and watch from the grandstands. I'll ride it once but that may be it. Isn't any one else at all absolutely terrified by this ride or am I the only sissy? I just hate vertical rides I guess. Me and PT don't get along well either. They were really good at the entire theming concepts on this ride. They should do it more often. Everything I hear about it gets cooler and cooler. I would love it if they had themed the Raptor. They're such a truly magnificent (sp?) park.
I never knew they could be so good at theming.

I'm not terrified of it. Hope the lines aren't to long so I can ride it more than once. However, I may be riding it alone. So far my mom, step-dad, sister, and wife all say they will not ride it. My son wants to ride it, but not sure if he will be able to take leave from the Air Force.

I think they should take my idea and have hot-dog vendors in the grandstands.

they need to have camera's in the blechers and take photos of the people sitting in them so when their buddies get off the ride, they can get a little picture next to their ORP that says, here's my sissy friends to scared to ride, hahaah....

where are these grandstands you speak of......that huge crowd of people looks like the line to me...not stands......................do you see a line anywhere else?

This link was posted in another thread and it has the bleachers circled.

What that should do is make the area beneath the grandstands a gift shop with NASCAR stuff. That stuff sells like hotcakes these days.

That would be neat if CP made a portion of the queue like on a few different levels like turnstiles but like ramps and then it would look like full grandstands. That would also be entertaining for the people in line.

That would be pretty cool.
