That's the problem with capacity on this is you load only half
the seats at a time. If it takes then close to 2 minutes to
load one side and then 2 minutes for the other. Even with a 1
minutes ride cycle for a 5 minute That's only 162 riders an
hour. that's less capacity then anyone towers on sasquatch.
the best case as a 1.5 minutes load on each side and maybe a
1-minute cycle for 240 which si still pretty bad.

It looks like the park flew a balloon over the site recently to
see if the height would be able to be seen from glen
lake.....and it's quite obvious that you will be able to see it.
There is 0 shot this ride gets approved. I hope it gets moved to
another section of the park.
Here's the article:

Ya, Things aren't looking too good. I was honeslty not all that
impressed with the ride.
it mentioned seeing it form Rt 9 but the parks frontages a bit
narrow and there is little time to react. It would be better to
put up a billboard and do better marketing.

They went to the town Tuesday, it’s looking like the ride is
going to be moved somewhere else in the park. I’ve spoken with
a park supervisor who told me the original plan was next to
Blizzard on the old Balloon Ferris Wheel pad, so I’d expect it
to go there.
Don’t be surprised when we get Adirondack Outlaw in Ghost Town
in 2021, with a different ride.

So all GE accomplished was to end up with the ride pretty much
where it was to go originally and pissed off their neighbors for
trying to break the agreement. Not very good management in my
view.

No not a good plan on their end.
I like this new idea better right not there is littel to no good
reason to go down that path. it's a dead end now that you can
swing aorudn teh wave pool and unles you wan tot rie the ferris
wheel it s not worht using the path.

^ he said Balloon Ferris Wheel pad which is the area between
blizzard, skyride, trapezes and Pandemonium. Has nothing to do
with the path around bobsled to the wavepool.

What's worse is I read that and When I responded my mind still
went to that back path.
I guess the old Balloon Wheel sport is convenient. not sure how
much room they have for a queue. it's also already a very busy
area so it will do nothing to control crowds.
I think they would have been better off adding it by the big
Ferris wheel or by the Comet.

GE is officially moving Adirondack Outlaw out of Ghost Town to
avoid an environmental review. It's good to know that we are
still getting the same ride and it's not being swapped to
another park. It sounds like we should know some time this week
where the new location will be. My guess will be somewhere in
the back of the park.

Good to hear. I look forward to finding out where they end up
puting it.
