    Hi all!
    I noticed that the discussion for the Riddler Clues around the park were scattered between different topics, so let’s talk about it here!
    The common idea that everyone has is that the Mind Eraser is getting a repaint/ retheme to fit the Gotham theme of the South End, which I agree with.
    Any other thoughts?

    Another thing that I noticed at HATP this weekend, which could potentially be a clue, is that the Christmas lights around each ride are color coordinated with the ride. Mind Eraser has trees that are the traditional red/blue for the ride colors, but the sign for the queue is illuminated green. Potential Riddler clue there?

    The red train is already completely gone from mind eraser so I'm assuming they're already starting on the conversion.

    My biggest hope for this is that they transform the queue building into something cool. They headed in the right direction for the Joker queue but they could do way more with the Riddler theme.

    ^A Riddler Funhouse Maze (even though not a maze so no cutting LOL) walk through would be great.

    Yeah! I’m picturing some sort of cool walkthrough with green lighting and maybe tv screens with some riddles on them. And of course, there has to be an organized means to it because we all know cutting is an issue.

    Anything would be better than the current situation at Mind Eraser's queue line.

    Completely agreed. I have a mixed history with Mind Eraser. First big coaster I went on as a kid but my father got hurt on it in 2009. It’s a love/hate relationship lol

    They are probably going to re-do the queue because they butchered it when they added VR. Although I could see them just leave it the way it is though.

    At least the queue has really buildings. It had cover when most of fhe park had none and I'd take a simple building over those cheap metal and cloth covers they have all over the park. I agree it's very utilitarian. Not the nicest building but dose the trick. Only personal pet peeve is the station. I want to see the stairs moved back with a possibility of choosing your seat.

    ^We chose our seat when we rode this summer. We actually chose our seat when we rode Batman last Saturday too which was surprising. Also, we chose our seats all summer on STR and WC. After ranting about seat assignment for most of 2016, during 2017 I never had a complaint. Were they forcing seat assignment on ME during 2017 (I only rode it once)?

    I think out of all the times I've been on mind eraser, (many many times) I've only been assigned assigned once maybe twice. Lol

    I remember a stretch back in early to mid 2016 when there was a push on most of the coasters in the park to not allow choice for seating but after deporat's email, we got our freedom back to choose. During that assigned period, Mind Eraser ops were pretty flexible because the que wasn't always packed. I used to like this ride when it was first installed. It went thru some hard years where I was sure it was on the chopping block. Even members here wanted it scrapped. The new restraints really made the ride experience enjoyable again. I am happy to see it being given a second life
