I didn’t know that, actually. Saw people kind of grasping at straws and someone picked end of the world and I had assumed it had just stuck. But if TEOTWAWKI is really an established acronym then I guess I should keep my mouth shut.Dear God... they’re going to use cranes!
fun theory, but TEOTWAWKI is very widely known as The End Of The World As We Know It; that is indeed the reference.
And I’m also sorry, but Cambridge, OH (John Glenn birthplace) and Wapakoneta, OH (Neil Armstrong birthplace) are not south.
Wasn’t aware John Glenn was born in Cambridge but I thought Wapok was still considered to be in the Aviation Heritage Area. Plus Ohio as a whole has produced the most astronauts, which is why I think this would be our local flare ride, to go along with FOF and it’s Wright Patt reference. You know your state’s full of annoying coaster fanboys when it’s also leading in people who leave the planet!
Astronauts and Presidents: that’s what Ohio does. ??I didn’t know that, actually. Saw people kind of grasping at straws and someone picked end of the world and I had assumed it had just stuck. But if TEOTWAWKI is really an established acronym then I guess I should keep my mouth shut.

lol, that’s what I get for blindly quoting @Antinos.

I know someone's probably already said it, but I absolutely adore that track colour!

I don't... I think it's quite basic. There isn't even a nice underbelly to it.

Each to their own, I suppose; I've always loved that shade of dark blue!

I think it’ll contrast extremely well with Diamondback’s burgundy tone.

I agree; I almost wish more coasters were painted dark blue! I especially like a shade that I'm not sure whether you refer to it as navy blue or midnight blue; kind of the colour that Banshee's blue train is!

Blue is such an awesome color. Slightly off-topic, but in a box of Crayola crayons, the "Cerulean" color was always my favorite!

Although I hadnt thought about it before now I guess all 3 of CW, Carowinds and KI's B&M Hypers are towards the reddish end of the spectrum while all 3 of their gigas are the blue end. We shouldnt be surprised this is blue

Yeah, I always assumed it would be a cool color to contrast with Diamondback’s warm color scheme, which would help eliminate some visual similarities.
It's becoming a busy skyline between Invertigo teal, Banshee purple, and Diamondback red. Visually, I'm really excited to see how they will round out the sightline for the northside of the park, and really should command a lot of the visual backdrop.
