Definitely agree about the Bill Gates point you made but that's is a completely different extreme then, "Wouldn't it be cool if they demolished Harry Potter and put a Twlight themed area."

A few years back there was a rumor that Uni was going to erect a tent over Islands of Adventure for Halloween Horror Nights. That's a stupid idea.

Also having Penn & Teller at HHN was a stupid idea from conception.

So yes. There are stupid ideas.

I know we will never agree on this but please take the time to read this. It may broaden your perspective

Personally; i'm curious on the type of dark ride if that is indeed what would replace DC. Whether or not it'd be something like a EFG system or something entirely new, its tempting to think some of the possibilities.

Seen this on Twitter today pretty sure it didn't happen. I rode it twice this morning. But would be cool if it did when it goes down for refurbishment they somehow made it more safe

I didn't notice any dueling when I was there, but I was not staring at the coaster for large periods of time either. But I doubt it. There is no way without major changes they would be dueling. This would be a huge legal issue.

Unless they stopped listening to the lawyers and safety team they were not dueling. I think some see two trains up at the same time and think they duel.

Yeah, the ride system is specifically operating to prevent the trains from dueling even if they leave the station at the same time that would allow them to do so.

I think some people imagine it will duel because both coasters get dispatched at the same time, but once they reach the chainlift, one of the chains has its speed reduced.

Very true. You must have missed it. Cause it was a pretty pointless, dumb and forgettable house.

AFAIK it's not getting replaced by a Dark Ride. It'll still be a coaster. It's also possible that it's just an even more indepth version of the project Hulk just went through.

Since you have mentioned one more IOA project you know off in another thread that might begin still this year, do you mean this one?

Thanks mate. If they want to begin this project still this year, will this be to open again next year like Hulk? Or is it that more in depth that it would be for 2018?

If it does indeed just get The Hulk treatment so to say, I hope they go in the direction @Disneyhead suggested in mimicking the design of Battlestar in Singapore. Turns a thriller seeker ride into a possible family attraction without losing the thrill side of things... And may open it back up for them to duel, in a sense, again.

Makes sense, Studios has two new attractions for 2017 and we get Volcano Bay as well. If Nintendo is 2020, then this just leaves us with 2019.
