It is an absolute travesty that SDC is not keeping its loyal patrons abreast of the progress with this new coaster. Whether they want to keep the name and other specifics under wraps, there is no reason why they cannot and should not be sharing photos and/or webcam access with the public - especially considering so much of it is happening in plain view within the park. Such a shame. Thanks to everyone here who has taken the time to contribute photos and videos to keep us as up to date as possible. At least the Fans are getting it right.

Aw, don't be so harsh! They are building excitement...they want to draw you into visiting next year. The park will release some info toward the end of the year, it is only a few months away. Besides, as the year progresses, we will watch it develop, about the only thing we won't know prior to the official press release is the NAME of the coaster. Besides, it's fun to guess and speculate about everything, ain't it? :)

I love that they are not sharing any info. That the citizens have a gleam in their eye when ya ask about it! Its pure clean fun. I like seeing development progress and take a stab at whats happening. Its a present that I can savor all year long. :) I am so glad they have not and will not share an iota of what is happening.

Ha! Not tryin' to be harsh. You all are just far too patient.  ;)

I will admit though. Being 4.5 hours from the park doesn't help. If I lived as close as Spingfield, I would probably hit the park every weekend, just to see what's changed over the course of the week.  ;D

There's still an entire year left to go before this ride opens. They'll release more details when the time is best for the. I absolutely guarantee that if they starting posting photos now their offices would be flooded with people asking when the ride would be open and people whining about it not being done this summer in time for their trip.

I am anxious to see the next round of photos though, whenever they come. There's sure to be a lot of progress since last week given how fast that wood rose.

Found this interview with Alan Schilke from IAAPA 2011 --

Seems to confirm a ground up coaster with topper track to be built in 2013...

^Yup, we talked about that one a few months ago. ;)

Still wondering about what all the emphasis on steel wheels is though, but I imagine it has to do with speed. Everyone complained when Wodan ended up with some sort of composite wheels rather than steel because it is more sluggish than it could be, so maybe speed will be a major emphasis of this ride.

Check out "trip reviews" thread! Pintrader and I were both on park today (4/19/12) and got shots from the train of the work on the new roller coaster project. Work is progressing well there! VERY exciting!

hmmm.....Barnstormer is the name of the 'giant swing'  at Dollywood.

That could get confusing for some folks.

I guess we'll see....
