Part 1 - THE HUB

Her, bio, Tommy all bring the sauce to theme park construction and development. What an age we live in. Add in Midway Mayhem with one of a kind coaster coverage for our win

I’ve been thinking this lately. The combination of the three of em reporting on Epic has been so impressive. It feels so seamless in the way they all work together.

Essential content as always @Alicia! You rule.

Watching this video from Amusement Insider and I had a thought. Would the name “Gemini” work or is it too generic for the hub coaster? I know there’s one in Cedar Point and I’m assuming they don’t want confusion, but I’m not sure.

The rumor, according to Alicia, is that they're named Starfall Racers.

With the amount of restaurants coming into that central hub, there is no way they keep the central hub closed to the public right? That is like 11 large places to eat (not including smaller stands). That coupled with the fact that the hotel is right against the central hub. Do we still think central hub will be tickets only?

It’s probably a holdover from when it was originally designed that way, but will hopefully function like a traditional theme park.

I just hope the food quality is Satu'li/Flame Tree/Regal Eagle/Connections quality, and not Mel's/Krusty Burger quality. Really want to be able to eat inside the parks after work like I do at DAK or Epcot, and not eat before like USF/IOA.

11? There are 6 restaurants in the hub, not counting desserts, snacks, or the cut burger place. Still a lot, but not that much.

I'd guess Cedar Fair has Gemini trademarked as a roller coaster name.

I’m including the one in each land and the cut burger place. You probably have more understanding of the scale of each restaurant and possible capacities, but that seems like a significant amount to be filling each day.

Oh thought you meant just the hub dining locations. It’s probably 13 for the entire park including the lands.

What days of the week will this park be open to the public?

 

[DodgsonHere]

What days of the week will this park be open to the public?

If we’re using the other parks as examples… probably Tuesdays and Thursdays only

So the hub will be considered being a "park" as well? No more going to "City Walk-esque" and hanging out for free?

It was a rumor from when the park was in development but everything I've heard is it'll function the same as a regular park.

Okay, I thought so as well. The comment above saying it would be open to the public on Tues and Thurs is what confused me.

Is there going to be a "citywalk" by Epic too?

They are missing a bet on the convention traffic if there isn't
