Headbanger is getting installed right this very second near the waterfall at the ride's ending. A wall was built so you can't see the stunt from outside of the ride, and a wall was built around it so all you can see is the cage. I will keep you updated. It is going to be an awesome addition!

I was wondering about him for awhile, but figured you'd update it sometime or another! That sounds great! He will surely be a creepy addition to the end of the ride! I can't wait to see him!

I still like the Vampiress!!
Yeah, the spider web has been gone for years...kinda' just decayed and then they put a changing portrait over its remains...ha ha! At least now there will be excitement at the end of the ride, other than watching the waterfall and a morphing picture.

I can wait NO LONGER...I'm going to start walking NOW - hope I can get there in a few weeks... Allstar, approximately when are you going? We might be down at the same time!

That's my gripe with the location; The exit corridor is only so long. If the water-curtain is triggered as the car enters the corridor, it only gives the riders something to distract them from the impending soaking they might receive; and the Vampiress could be hung up anywhere...this was one gag that would have fit the build of the diorama perfectly...

I'm not sure exactly how they're gonna' pull it off - I see what you mean; people would be distracted by something else, while the Waterfall could get them soaked. We'll have to see the finished product.

I actually think the Head Banger would fit well where the giant skull is. Across from the torture chamber.

Wow finally a good finale for the ride. But I think they should paint the borders around the window neon or something to match the style of the Haunted House.

But then he wouldn't be so scary...that's just my opinion. I always think there is a fine line between Tracy and modern, new stunts like the Headbanger. I just think the old has its own character, and the new should be left - well - new!
It certainly will be a great finale!

They should have a buzzer or something loud to shock people.

What I always liked about the Lobby is that you can hear the riders inside reacting to the Cuckoo Clock and Waterfall. It gives a sense to waiting riders that "this ride could be scary!". So now, I hope people react--loudly--to the Headbanger!
