maXair Queue

Do you guys think the queue will be any longer than it is now?

Probably not that is how it is on Delerium

It's also hard to tell what that is to the right because the scaffolding is in the way.

I don't believe that the thing on the right has anything to do with the queue, but they still have some room to expand towards WT, and they will probably wrap the queue around towards the main midway.

I think that's going to pretty much be the permanent queue. They might have a temporary queue for a while because it's a new ride.

I think you are right, WT's extra queue hasn't been used much since its opening. Long queues aren't needed since it'll just be a waste of space in a few years, temporary queues extending out into the midway would work.

If you took out all of the extra queue that they had in the park from every ride, it would probably take an entire day to walk through it all.

The exit is on the right, the queue is on the left.

Why on earth would there be shades over the exit? Use your brains, people.

Maybe that's some sort of protection from loose objects...

Probably not. From my experience on Delerium, there isn't that much force created from the spinning. I would think that any loose objects that would drop would come when the ride's at it's peak and people are more or less upside down.

Michael Darling is correct, the ramps on the right are for the exit, the queue is on the left covered with the same sail-type awnings that TTD has. Those awnings are more for shade than protection. It's hard to tell from here how big the queue house is. Delerium has 4 or (maybe 6...?) rows once you reach the actual queue house and they are very wide, two people can easily stand together. With each ride cycle just about one entire row empties out into the holding areas. Problem at PKI is that the load/unload time is excruciatingly long- I'm sure that CP will be able to step all that up a notch and offer more rides per hour than at PKI. Well, here's hoping, anyway.

I, for one, can't wait to see the design for the "improved" games building. The long overdue redesign of the Dodgem turned out cute as hell, with a real amusement park look to it. Hopefully CP will try to capture the same kind of groove on the games building as well. Once again, here's hoping.

You'd think there wouldnt be enough room for a queue, but CP always finds a way. And maybe when the rain on the camera clears we might be able to see where the queue goes if it's possible to follow the yellow railing they're putting up. Seeing that the queue line is composed of the yellow railing.

BTW, the lamp posts they're putting up are a really good touch. *** Edited 4/20/2005 7:39:52 PM UTC by TTD 120mph***

I agree, those lamps are nice (almost like something out of RCT).

Its too hard to follow the queue (despite the yellow). It's just too blurred together.

I like the yellow rails over the same old silver rails.

It almost looks like it starts right next to the exit ramp and continues around to the awnings .?

But it could just be me. *** Edited 4/20/2005 8:04:41 PM UTC by TTD 120mph***

It could just be that it's a barrier fence to keep people out.

The area in the exit that is covered by a shade is where the one of the ride operators is stationed. Look at the exit for Delirium, a small part is covered by shades, just like maXair.

I think it looks like the enterance, so maybe if someone wants to ride again they can get right back in line......

This is the exit. Why is everyone trying to make it more complicated?

On Delirium, the exit is right next to the entrance. Also, a part of the entrance queue goes to the side of Delirium, so people waiting in line, will see the frisbee swing right at them. They did the same thing with maXair, as you can see in the photo from TTD 120mph.

In the Delirium photo, where it says DELIRIUM, the queue is right under that.
