Is this coming out of the GE side or the TNT side of things?

The station is quite literally where the restrooms for EH was located

Well the treehouse is down now. That's the biggest change. Sounds like Cannery Road will be safe for one more season. There might be some other changes coming to the park but they haven't started it yet.

I am interested in the Mid Town section and preparation for the lights. I figure the rest is really going to be par.

Ya know, the two different train, one spinning and one that doesn't but offers forward and reverse seating would be what I went for but I guess we get just spinning

^We don't have any idea yet. Could be fixed seats, could be wildly spinning, or it could be a huge surprise and be a completely different concept altogether.

I'm pretty positive most people's hunch is correct though: elements of tech seen on Cobra's Curse will be seen on this ride so that it is a hybrid between CC and what is seen on that video. Likely to be regulated spinning, but that's just the popular hunch at the moment.

The ability to control seats so they face a certain way during thematic elements just blows open the door to endless possibilities though. With the fun theme they've picked, this could be the most detailed coaster since FiTH.

I am going up right around the first for a mess around trip. I will see what I can take pics of as well.

You noted Trees!! Midtown is getting the Osborn lights and changes would or are being made to support this during the off season. If you look at the art work you will note that there are many large things up in the air, this brings me pause. In order to have these things up you need clearence so you can instal it in the first place and for any animated movement. My suspision is trees and growth has been "adjusted" or removed for this as they probably would not do this mid season. What will this do to the shade and the character of mid town? Thats what I am interested in, this is a old area of the park that really captured the SDC feel. From Marys Spring house down to the woodcarvers (old toy shop) is sensetive and hopefully they have maintained its integrity and character.

This is probably more of a discussion for the 2017 thread, but I hope you weren't too attached to the Springhouse. I'll admit, I never ate there in all the years of its existence. Guess I never will.
