My guess would be just a straight section of track.

They're not going to pull the loop out and then do anything crazy with the ride.

i can see a tunnel fitting in quite well.
Surely the problem is the entrance and exit will be offset. so a straight track wont work. either the entrance or exit hills will have to be modified.

See now that is the million dollar question!!! Has there been any updates on it lately, and will it be done before the opening? I guess since its not too official there isnt alot of coverage.

It's not really that big of a question.

They'll just rebuild that section so that the track lines up.

They're already rebuilding entire sections of track, so it's not much more to rework the area where the loop used to be.

Oh... i missed those pictures! I guess i didnt go back to that page. Well yea after looking at the pics, its a pretty simple rebuild! Its really not that offset.

Now what about speed? I know it will affect that. Are there trims on that straight section? If so then thats a simple fix also!

Actually Paramount screwed it up by running it into the ground. (literally).

CF just has to now pick up the pieces.
