Dark Knight is completed-2/15

2/15/02-Went to SFNE today and believe it or not, the Dark Knight is completely finished! The zero g roll and interlockers are all in place! Talk about fast construction, and this is no joke, expect photos up on a website soon. I never expected the coaster done this soon...

Geez, coaster building is going nice and fast this year already!
-----------------
Good Times!! Good Times!!

I hope we get pics soon.(crossing fingers) Maybe if my mom is in a good mood next weekend I can go get some pics of the whole thing. If this is the truth that was really fast. Actually, besides the zero-g roll everything else was pretty low to the ground.

The pics aren' great, but they're still pics.  Maybe I can head up there and get some of the corkscrews and more angles.

Just think... there isn't a Vekoma being built in the US right now... Thats why they will all be opening on time...

That construction video on SF News is the worst video I've ever seen. View it to see what I mean.

I have to agree with Taipan, the video was a waste of my time.
-----------------

I think the only reason they going so fast is there hasnt been a really bad winter.  Also they started pretty early.

I think the construction went by fast because of the good winter we've been having, there has been very little snow i tell you what.

Out of the coasters i've ridden here is wat i rank them overall:(ive been to canobie lake and SFNE)
1. S:RoS 2. Yankee Cannonball 3. Riverside Cyclone 4. Canobie Corkscrew 5. Thunderbolt 6. Galaxy 7. Mind Eraser 8. Dragon coaster 9. poison ivy's tangled

More pics are available on Sixflagsnews.com.  They show the corkscrews, but from far away.  Alex, get up there and get some more amazing ones.  Still, I can't believe how tight this coaster is.

This coaster looks awsome!  It's should be quite intense but is there only going to be one train?  I also noticed that it looks like you are going to get a head chopper effect coming out of the loop because of the turn around.  Anyone else notice this?
There's some photos at Badnitrus that show it pretty well.  I don't how exact those are though.

Is one train correct?  I thought there would be two, and only know of  few coasters with only one train.  Is there any B&M with only one train?

Who said there was only going to be one train?

Yea sixflagsnews.com has added new pics today! I never heard that it was going to have one train. It's going to have 2 trains, it wont have 3 cause of how compact it is.

Two seems correct because no B&M to my knowledge has only one train, and I think there is a train shed there.

I have a dream! That SFMM fans will be able to walk hand in hand with CP's!
AND no ONE cares what a coaster is and what a coaster isn't!
