Jonathan wrote:How hard is it to get at least get the colors of the roller coasters right? Does no one from the park even proof the map?


Although it's hard to tell, the colors on Afterburn are correct. Although the Vortex and Ricochet colors are off, it is impressive how detailed the map is. It shows every ingle game booth, sculpture, and perfectly depicts all of the roller coaster stations. Even the Peanuts Showplace in Planet snoopy has the correct coloring on the shades that hang over it.

The only thing we can gather from these drawings is that a new entrance road and toll plaza are coming and the Plantation House looks to be safe.

The "Prop. Ride Tunnel" you see is just that, proposed. Not saying it won't happen and I'm not saying it will. They could be working off of old coaster layout drawings. Heck, Goliath at SFOG had several different layouts before the final one was decided on and even that was changed a little. Goliath's drawings showed a "Prop. Ride Tunnel" at the bottom of the second drop (under the entrance road) and it was canned at the last minute due to cost. The very first layout of Goliath was to start at the back of the park and head out towards the old store travelling along the river (with three trains and a block brake).

That being said, unless you are seeing the construction documents for the actual coaster, nothing regarding the layout is set in stone.
