Stations, Lifts, and Restrooms oh my!

I've heard for the queue lines they will have many small tv's that will show a POV of the ride!!! I mean, the camera's will be in the coaster cars and you will be able to watch them race around the track. I also heard that they might be B&W though. They also said the stations are going to have those cameras like they have in mall enterences showing the ride operators. I hope this is all true!!!

Dont ask me what the heck the topic means! I must have been having some sort of MF sigmia! ;)

I hope not. That would get kinda old after waiting in such a long line. Besides, that would kinda ruin the "surprise" of riding it for the first time. When you're waiting in line, you'll get your POV view soon enough. I'm with servo, we need some names on this one! :)

Yes, we would get tired of it, but what they could do is only have these at the entrance of the ride, you know, just maybe three or four tv's. That would be an awesome touch, and would not get old!!! But, where DID you here this? Also, don't you think the cameras would ruin the aerodynamics? Just a thought...

I'd only watch the POV a couple of times from here on the web (by the time I go, there will be plenty of them online) I think the idea would be old and tiresome after awhile. BGW's Big Bad Wolf ride has a good premise: Play a promo video

She is the sister of Roy Cowden that works for CP in the summer. She never said anything about CP until this past week when I saw her and asked her if she was going to ride MF on opening day (unfortunately she's not).

I think the TV's in the station would be cool! I think I may have confused you, but the TV's are not "on" the cars, but show a picture of the cars going by at certain parts of the ride, such as the first drop. It will most likely just show the faces of the riders, just like an on ride photo i take it.

If there were TV screens in the queue, they would probably fall the same fate, eventually, as those in Magnum and Mean Streak's queue's...

Food wrappers and Blankscreens and Popbottles, oh my!

My first thought was that they were going to keep the noise down by not using any music or video representations. I think CP wants to keep the Frontieer Trail quiet, thank god. But I guess small video screens would not interfeer too much, especally if there is no sound.

Remember that the queues will be bascially on the locations of the old BBQ Chicken stand and the Giant Wheel, nowhere near the rest of the trail.

Keeping the noise down on the Frontier Trail with a giant roller coaster running back and forth is kind of a joke, don't you think?

If they have TVs with a POV of the ride they should make it so you push a button if you want to see it.you wouldn't have to see it over and over again.

Actually, it is my understanding that MF will be pretty quiet.

If you're curious about how an Intamin coaster sounds, check the Superman: Ride of Steel video here:
