THIS IS IN NO WAY A RUMOR. IT IS MY OPINION.
I have said it before, I think that fog and strobe lights at the bottom of the first hill would be great. Just think if you were in the front car, hanging over the hill and seeing flashing strobes through fog 300 feet below you. It is a sweet idea, I think.

I had an idea of lights at the bottom of the hill but not strobes or fog.Strobes would be alot cooler than just regular lights.
Well, we know that there will be at least one strobe light on Millennium Force, courtesy of your friends at the Federal Aviation Administration...
(the usual cutoff is any structure taller than 200' and not protected by surrounding structures, or something like that. It could be a strobe or a flashing red light, but the strobes are lower maintenance and in the long run, cheaper. Which explains why Power Tower has a strobe on it.)

Notice I said lighting not lightning, lol!
Now anyone who knows, not rumor, Jeff, you have to know something, after all, "YOU THE MAN!"

What I know about the lighting is months old, and therefore, probably not correct.

There's a good reason you probably won't have fog at the bottom of the first hill. Don't forget that Perimeter Road is only about 20' from the MF drop. The last thing they probably want to do is fog in the only road around the peninsula.

I hope the lightingis not like Power Tower's, every time that thing got hit by lightning, the light sequences went out of order - which is why you see in Jeff's picture of PT that part of it is one color and part another. They spent alot of money trying to fix them, yet they keep going out of sequence everytime it gets struck, so I doubt you see Power Tower type lighting. I like PT lighting, but it wouldn't make sense for them to do that again. I'd be suprised if they do! I'd like to see something like Mean Streak's lighting. But thats my own opinion
I think the Power Tower thing is poor planning. Those lights should have been better isolated. If I remember correctly, doesn't High-End Systems make those lights? They've got their architectural stuff all over the place, so I'm surprised they had as many problems as they did.
I suspect MF lighting will be mostly on the ground and not attached to the structure itself. I guess time will tell.
