See the concept art here: https://www.knotts.com/images/uploads/image/VTTIR%20Concept%20Art(1).jpg It involves the boardwalk...but not in the way you might think....which is actually a good thing I think.

My big question remains ... will this have the "polish" appearance like a Disney theme park attraction. Or look a bit 'unfinished' if you look closely enough? That was my impression of a new Sea World ride several years back. As well as the Mummy coaster at Universal. Now ... I know places like Uni are catching up. Never been to Florida to see how 'polished, and complete' the 2 Harry Potter rides look. So, I hope Knott's answer will be a notch or 2 above what all other parks aside from Disney were doing 10 years ago.
