July 27, 201610 yr If they're doing the announcement over there it does make sense for them to shut down Diamondback early so GP can start entering the area to get spots to watch. I wonder if they'll use the back of the building as a giant projection screen.
July 27, 201610 yr This can only mean one thing... we are all going to just have to marathon the DB from 9-10. Oh and theres like 3-4 pokestops in that area. Edit - Well ok everyone is making a point to the DB shutting down early so 8-9!!
July 27, 201610 yr Once again, the building and queue for Tomb Raider: The Ride are being used for things that aren't Tomb Raider: The Ride. I know I shouldn't be bothered by that, but I still am. Sigh. On a more positive note, I really am excited for this announcement. I also really like the trend of new ride announcements being big in-park events for all guests. It's just a neat thing to experience. There's a type of excitement there that just can't be found elsewhere. I hope it continues. I'm sure this one will be great!
July 27, 201610 yr Looks like the rain might let up just in time for the announcement. Don't forget to stop by your local DollarTree to pick up a rain poncho!
July 27, 201610 yr Yes, someone will. We need pictures tomorrow!! The best things come to those that wait.
July 27, 201610 yr Just noting: on Banshee's announcement day, The Beast along with all attractions in Action Zone closed in advance of the announcement. The Beast was closed so that they would be clear to launch fireworks immediately following the announcement. I'm sure announcements of any early ride closures will be made throughout the day, so everyone can get their rides in beforehand.

July 27, 201610 yr ^^^ Don had hair???!?Don with hair at 1:29. Crazy, he was introduced as just a special guest and coaster enthusiast(with an impressive number of The Beast rides). Now he's delivering the speechesSent from the future while riding #KIProject2017 using Tapatalk

Don't forget to stop by your local DollarTree to pick up a rain poncho!I'm sorry, I prefer to purchase one at full retail for $5 plus tax. Thank you very much. Ha!

July 27, 201610 yr Watching the DBack webcam. Some lights and possible set up going on. Some mysterious flashes going on. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
July 27, 201610 yr I am ruling out a family coaster. They are putting way too much effort into this. They wouldn't want to get any hate for over hyping it either.
July 27, 201610 yr The lights on DB webcam look like that tombstones at Banshee when they are lit up at night
