On Sunday, January 29th, Lake Compounce invited ACE members to a special construction tour to see the work on Wildcat and Boulder Dash. Wildcat will be receiving two new trains from GCI. These will be replacing the PTC trains it currently uses. The rides operator booth will be relocated to the other side of the station, and will receive new controls!  Boulder Dash will have its triple up replaced by a double up designed by Alan Schilke.

The Joker- Six Flags New England Construction Update

Image
We're back with a BRAND NEW construction update for The Joker 4D Free Fly Coaster. This will be Six Flags New England's "13th" coaster! Thanks to DylanBizarro for allowing us to use his pictures! Let's start with an overview of The Jokers plot of land. Splashwater Falls is completely gone, and it looks like all of the footers are in place. I expect vertical construction to start within the next few weeks. Upon further inspection, it seems as if the park has built the control station, which is located directly behind the Candy Cabin. In the bottom left of this photo, you can see another new building, which looks to be about the same size as the Wicked Cyclone Storm Center gift shop, which leads me to believe that the park will put the enterance and exit near Batman and Crimewave. If they do this, the area from Works and Coldstone, all the way to Hurricane Harbor could become Gotham City, and finish what never got completed in 2008.
