It won't cost exactly 30 million. But I doubt Cedar Fair would spend too much on a station.

I agree with you that this seems like too much theming for CF, primarily because of the cost. Having been to Rome, what would make it more realistic would be more ruins. Parts of the walls should be in ruins with random pillars, etc., partially erected with parts of them lying around.

I'm still holding hope that it is not Centurion after all and something that fits a Carolinas theme.



While theming to this extent is a little to extravagant for CF, The station of Leviathan is also elegant in it's own form, if CF used cheap materials to fabricate the look of stone and marble than it might be possible. I'm not saying that we need something in equivalence to the Dueling Dragons (Dragon Challenge) station, but I do expect more this year than: gates, a sheet metal roof, and four support columns!


The more I think about it, the more I agree and take back some of what I said. They did an awesome job with the details of London Terror using lower cost materials. Here's a back shot of it the day before opening last year and before they got the black fabric up to cover the back.



Based on that, I have faith that they can deliver quality theming.

I know that I post like three of these per day, but it's always fun to speculate.

Did you not see the blueprints?


I did, but there isn't any proof to say that those are the official blueprints. Kind of like how currently, there isn't any actual evidence to fully prove that we are getting a B&M sit-down steel Giga, (that's probably what we're getting,) but for all we know, we could get a: Knockoff RMC Launching Stand-up dark ride. Most likely, we are getting the B&M Giga, but until announcement day, none of us (*Jarsh* :wave: ) can really be 100% sure.

The new road and toll booth's blueprints were posted on the construction company's website and it showed footers in the same spot as the blueprints. It also showed 1 proposed tunnel.

That is incredible and I'd love to see that happen. Just don't use "iron" leave that to six flags. Maybe Hurler's Vengence, Revenge, or Wrath. I'm not good with names lol but you get my point.

Great work Legoguy!!! I would line up for that even though it would scare the crap out of me. This video is so good it should be moved along with these posts to a new category. Cedar Fair Management needs to see this one! Maybe one of the admin can make this move possible. Once again, great job!

Everyone always brings up those woods, but I think it's a pipe dream. With the recent purchase, the park owns land that is the equivalent of the Magic Kingdom and Epcot put together. There is a ton of unused land.

Plus, let's face it, we all know that even if they did own that land they would probably clear cut the entire thing.
