Talking about the crypt, am I the only one here who's ever noticed that the gargoyle heads on the roof of the crypty were from the original tomb from when it was the Haunted House? Hope they keep them and reuse them on the new crypt.Regarding Duel's excellent throughput, I do suspect that had Thirteen been built in GW in the first place or any major ride for that matter that was going to have large queues (not to say that Thirteen when working is a good queue eating in itself), then Duel or a returning HH would have shown its worth to help with those queues like no tomorrow and it would have been interesting to see it with say a half hour queue on a normal day and honestly we might see this next year with Nemesis out and the park needing all the capacity it can get and Duel/HH will greatly help with this in a way that hasn't been seen perhaps when it first opened.
All depends how well Towers will hype up for its reopening for next season as I would like to see the extended queue line permanently opened with perhaps a new entrance sign leading into the extended queue instead of the current Duel sign and crypt smack bang in the middle of the area which do ruin the views of the house IMO.
I'd love to see the roof taken down and the columns. It worked so well when it was just a tombstone with a gravestone leaning on it. It'd be great for that to come back if the rides getting a new name.
