Quote from: ColaSDC on April 17, 2025, 02:02:14 PMI've been thinking about Grand Exposition, and I think that it would benefit from a small scale GCI-Gravity Group family wood coaster. Outlaw Run is terrific, but they need a gentle, family wood coaster to act as an in-between coaster between Grand expo coaster/FITH, and thunderation. Something like Oscar's wacky taxi at sesame place. Alternatively, since SDC loves RMC, I could see an RMC wild moose going there as well.

If anything gets added there look for a Dragonflier clone in the Insect area.  There's just not room for a wooden rollercoaster back there

I mean I agree on the launch thing too - but each would serve a different purpose and a different rider group. 

I mean DW have two launched as well and before the retrofit of LR they had 3

Quote from: shavethewhales on April 14, 2025, 09:38:47 AMIf this really is a coaster project, then I'm expecting something more along the lines of Big Bear, but maybe a bit smaller since Powderkeg is right there. Hopefully it doesn't end up being a replacement for Powderkeg... PK is 20 years old now, and has always been a bit of a maintenance headache. It's still a solid ride though and is very popular.

If it's a replacement for anything it will be for ThuNderaTion.  But yes I'm
fully expecting a ground hugging Big Bear Mountain type of coaster that the whole family can ride

Quote from: mg on April 14, 2025, 09:05:23 AMI'm guessing this lines up with the new railroad crossing between PowderKeg and Outlaw Run.

There will be a new major access road through there that will take out Hobo Junction

Quote from: ColaSDC on April 14, 2025, 09:09:46 AMSo there will be a significant change to the railroad layout?

There will be zero changes to the layout.

Quote from: ColaSDC on April 12, 2025, 10:15:20 PMIf mack is doing the indoor dollywood coaster does that eliminate a blazing fury remake?

The press event that stated the theme of the new ride (even had a video) eliminated that.  Thoosies were the ones thinking because it was indoors it was going to be a New FITH clone

Quote from: ColaSDC on April 12, 2025, 08:41:57 AMDoes mack even make family coasters besides the wild mouse? No way SDC is building a wild mouse or a spinner.

Several.  You should check out their website or RCDB and search.

Dollywood is getting an Indoor one next season

Did I miss something? Is it confirmed to be a "family attraction"?

See the original post which has the tracker that's updated as needed

No.

But not sure why it would be an interesting choice.  They are linked to Dollywood's 2026 attraction.  They've built multi launched coasters before.
