^I'm excited to see this thing turn out! I can't imagine what this indoor portion will do!

[cfcI've gone pantless!]

I was at Christmas Town last night, and there's a set of construction walls up where Das Katapault used to be (where the Mach Tower will be located). Freakin' freezing last night, so no Griffon (although all the flats in Oktoberfest and DaVinci's Garden were running, as was the sky ride--roundtrips only starting in England).

Some more info on the 2012 attraction from the JCC Planning Commission after the ballon test on Wednesday.

Is there time travel involved? The planned meeting is for January 5, 2010!

It the Katapult completely removed?

^I couldn't see over the wall, but there was a skip loader parked there; so I think Das Katapault has been removed (the park said they were going to relocate it).

^Thanks Chuck, I won't be able to check out Christmastown until at least the 20th.

I'm trying to make it to Christmas Town at some point too. TPR Christmas Town takeover?

I know I'm going either the 20th, 21st or 22nd...

For the launch coaster: the name Big Bad Wolf could stay, for nostalgia reasons, even the sign could stay, and the station building if they already haven't torn it down already. The point is old name, new ride.

Something just struck me, a new intamin seat made solely for this ride. Take the formula rossa seats (the thing with the little ear-flaps) then add an intamin OTSR, and finally slice off the shoulder part leaving the lab bar only. Smooth out the rough edges and voilà an intamin launch with the feeling of a lap bar, only much safer than the real thing with the ability to execute inversions and extreme airtime there's that or go with the nearby i 305 solution and add the padded restraints, but kings dominion won't like that idea
