Community Considerations
low RUMBLE TRACK - The entire track will be filled with pea gravel which is designed to minimize ride vehicle sound.
SOUND WALL - A series of sound walls will be built, comprised of sound-absorbing material, which will expand over 900 feet in length on the property near the ride track.
HALF-PIPE SHIELDS - Two half-pipe shields will be constructed adjacent to the easternmost and westernmost loops of the elevated ride track, intended to shield sound at the source.
RIDE VEHICLE - The entire track will be filled with pea gravel which is designed to minimize ride vehicle sound.
ONGOING SOUND MONITORING - The ride vehicle design will allow for 360-degree rotation to direct screams away from the community.
CONSTRUCTION HOURS - Construction of the coaster is limited to 7am – 7pm weekdays, and 8am – 6pm Saturdays. Regular updates will be provided on the Community Line website throughout the process. Exceptions are occasionally authorized for safety reasons.
