Not that it really matters but im curious how they do in hurricanes.

They have to withstand a 149 mph gust of wind.

This should explain a bit about the roof panels and the need for inflation.

Interesting, I always assumed they were solid plastic/glass panels.

Shanghai does get typhoons so it is probably something that has already been considered.

This coaster goes like 60 mph. You can sneeze at 100 mph. If someone sneezes while riding, this whole thing will blow away.

Tangled bathrooms

Tangled bathrooms

Will they be tronified with green lights under the bowl rim?

Do they really need a restroom when there are easily accessible ones near either approach to the ride? It also is positioned so as to not be easily accessed if you are approaching the ramp headed for the ride. I’d guess it’s a gift shop or not for guests.

My hope's still on an arcade since they got ride of the one at Space, and it would fit pretty perfectly with the IP. Sure, a it could be a gift shop or a corporate lounge, but my money is on a replacement arcade.

If they don't have this in a potential arcade then they really don't know what they are doing.

If this is increasing the total capacity of the park there could be a need for additional toilets to meet minimum requirements. There are also maximum travel distance requirements and the layout of the walkways could place those existing facilities too far away.

Yes they are inflated

 

[matt9112]

Yes they are inflated

So the canopy is similar to bob chapiks ego?

Da dummm i will be here all night.

 

[ToTBellHop]

This is a common technique for windows. New cruise ships do this, too. They just can’t let Tom Brady ride for obvious reasons.

With the advent of smart phones, I thought every bathroom was a toilet arcade?

At least that's what I deduced by the amount of time people spend in the stalls. And the sounds of electronic card flipping and candy crush I hear coming out of them.

I'm thinking the midway balloon inflate game in the men's room. I believe the man show did a bit on this.
