    Maybe a bunch of stone idols, beating on drums as you approach a glowing-eyed figure about to pour lava on you.  ...or a barrel roll.

    I'm starting to realize it may be a bad idea within marketing to ask your customers a question without also supplying the answer you want. Because the longer I think about #WhatsInTheShed, the more sm

    I know exactly what's in the shed:       Silver2005!

But it's the end of the ride pretty much so can't really launch much. I'm guessing there will be something like Verbolten with theming to the woods and nature with a drop track inside it

I suspect the track does nothing special. It is likely a show scene of some kind. Fake unload, animal attack, nature attack, or lumber mill.

Maybe the shed will contain immersive, OLED walls, with a different outcome played out all around you each ride? Like a movie with different endings? Hmmmm....

I imagine a couple show scenes based on what the Animation 360 gave us.

It is at the end of the ride. I really doubt there will be any drop track, launch, shaking, etc. It will probably be a really well themed room. IE when you stopped on Italian Job back in the day when it was actually good. 

That building also has to have a train shed in there somewhere, so I'm not expecting an actual track element.  I think it'll be something a bit more unique.  

 

Could they build animatronics that can take the abuse of a structure constantly shaking beneath them when a train comes flying in?

 

I'll admit, I'm legitimately curious.  :huh:

My guess is the first part is a transfer track/storage shed since it is much wider than the rest. That turn looks interesting though. It's a tight one.

Probably a room with the Medusa creature, summoning all the vines. A projection on the walls with vines quickly growing, and the Medusa creature up above with her evil laugh as the vines slow enclose, before we take that very sharp turn back into the station. Just barely avoiding the vines of death.

 

You're Welcome.

Probably tools. A lawnmower. Stuff like that. Maybe a weedeater. A restored old vehicle under a tarp.

What else do you keep in a shed?

Am I seeing things or does the track leading into the shed from the brake run appear to bank to the right?

A tree that pours make believe sap on you and says now you will pay. Wait where have I heard that before ? [emoji2]

"This is a coaster that has been in the works for 5 years" If this isn't a lie, they have been preparing for whatever it is that the shed contains. I'd say drop track or a launch, considering the brakes that stop you before you go into the shed look like it could double as a launch. Also a really slow barrel roll could be there too. 

I took these notes during Dennis Speigel's talk at Coasterstock:

Where the industry is going

Dynamic pricing

Virtual reality (augmented reality)

Mobile technology

Gamification

Smart Technology

I honestly think "gamification" and "augmented reality" here. I think somehow the riders are going to interact with screens inside the shed to beat back the growth trying to take over the Island.

Something different every time you ride adds credibility to the theory of a Verbolten like show building
