I think the station is classy and slightly clever. Looks nice to me. The stuff strewn about the queue area is nothing special though. They should've definitely suspended the boat or airplane from the coaster structure.

Six Flags can do some pretty darn good theming when they try. Medusa:Steel Coaster is some of the best I've seen them do. Bodes well for Cyclone.

I agree, the funhouse you go in before riding Medusa is insane. It looks amazing.

The picture above is a view of the station from the queue. The station will get a new skin as it??????s becoming Chuck??????s Boat Service. The theme for the ride is essentially the area of the ride being hit by a cyclone. For those who don??????t know, a cyclone is more like a hurricane than a tornado. The only difference between a hurricane and cyclone is where the storm occurs.

The name Chuck??????s Boat Service is likely a tribute to Chuck Davis, the former maintenance director of Six Flags New England. He was with the park since the Riverside days. He had to leave due to health reasons, so this is a nice way of honoring someone who helped shape the park to become what it is today.

Along with Chuck??????s Boat Service, there will be vehicles scattered throughout the ride area. We know there will be at least a boat, plane, and a storm chasing van. There could possibly be more.

So you would prefer nothing? In case you didn't realize the theme is destruction due to a natural disaster. Not much you can really do but scatter those vehicles around.

I personally appreciate all of the effort that the park is putting into this coaster. For Six Flags, even minimally theming a ride is great!

^I feel like you could do better than that with your grammar.

That being said, I have to agree with Paradox. Additionally, idk if you know this deere, but there really isn't much space within the structure itself for extensive theming.

The plane or boat should be caught up within the ride structure. I think people would remember that as a cool feature/touch...whereas I doubt most will really care about things scattered around.

Im gonna agree here. That would really make the ride memorable and noteworthy, but I think the near miss under the plane's wing is cool too.
