The point being, there are no multi launch minetrains.  There's your world first

That would REALLY be shitty if that's where they are going with this marketing.

But aren't most "first in the nations"? They're usually made up stats for marketing

are we sure that this will replace thunderation? i feel like we can have both a launched mine train and a normal one (and i suppose a launched mine train would be a little more intense)
also, what has happened with chainlifts at sdc? we havent had a traditionally lifted coaster since outlaw run. was there some sort of incident, or do they just prefer launches now

I'm quite confident that TNT is going to be removed. 

Launches take up less space and less materials and have a bigger ROI

*cough* *cough* *cough*

I have zero proof to back this up but honestly putting together the pieces I don't see this can anything other than a launched (because that's all they've built lately) Mack (because they seem to have fallen in love with that company) mine train (just going off the teaser image shared at FanFest and the loud rumor that TNT is being removed). 

I'm open to debate on why my guess is incorrect but honestly I don't see how it will be anything else. 

That certainly seems likely, but what of that would be first of it's kind in the US?

I guess I didn't realize there was a launched Mack Minetrain let alone one in the States.

^ If nothing or little why would they go to the trouble of having a FanFest?

Sounds like the PTB wanted their own version of D23 which is what this supposedly is. 

Too many moving parts.  Too many pots in the fire right now.  Personally I think this is a 2027 addition.  Supposedly there's something coming next season but this is not it.  No idea.  Also there's apparently something coming this season over by FITH but not a ride though.  I'm guessing something to enhance the theme over there.  Only thing I can think of is maybe a new Fireman's Cemetery? I think that's the only thing they didn't recreate for the new FITH

BEWARE there's lot of misinformation going around right now.  It's getting difficult to shift through everything.   Be careful what you share.  I've seen this before

New M&C is already under construction behind the hotel.  Frame is already up.  That whole area (where M&C and other BOH buildings are located) is (rumored) to become an expansion plot

Will get them on my blog tomorrow

Going to sdc next Friday and Saturday for my birthday! It's been 5 years can't wait! SDC is my favorite place not just theme park wise but my favorite place on earth period!

Speculative musing for thought: what if they are building a GCI woodie and calling it Ozark Wildcat to pay homage to the original at celebration city?

If that was the case, we'd see slab footers being created as GCI almost exclusively uses this building technique now. 

Just putting it out there, I only report things that can be substantiated.  I'm sorry if that's boring.  When I report something it's something that you can go see for yourself.  Sure there's plenty of "murmurs" behind the scene, but I also know that corporate likes to play games and I have no idea at times if they're telling certain people one thing in order to find leaks (has happened before) and it's not worth the risk. 

The only one saying "B&M" is sdcfan and he's wrong more than he is right about things. 

Just like he ran with "Big Footer" - no there's a big hole for footers.  More than likely it's a slab with one or more.  And no photo is possible unless you break the rules. 

I also think you're forgetting how fast Time Traveler came together

Oh.  You're talking about the new facade on the back of Lumbercamp Falls.  Your wording made it sound like you were talking about the cement slab which has been there for months. 

Yes the backside of Lumbercamp Falls is now covered in fake rock work

1. Every thrill coaster at SDC is considered a family thrill coaster

2. Interesting that some of you know the size of the footers as I couldn't even get the exact size from my viewings on the rides

3. There is no track or supports on site or back stage.  Whomever is saying that is full of crap. 

4. Keep an eye on the import sites
