That's correct, Swoosh. At this point you'd have to call that information "hearsay" since it didn't come from someone "official".

I heard a little bit of news today that ought to tickle your fancy...the "drop" on the new coaster will be a little over 160 feet at an incline (decline?) of about 81 degrees.  That should make for an awesome thrill!  I walked by the loading station area yesterday (the crews were not working so it was allowed) and got to see some of the structure rising from the station...my lands, it's getting up there!  I hadn't seen any of the construction since early in the spring.  Sorry, I didn't take a picture.

This is exactly what I have been wanting to hear since RMC was announced for this project. Wow, so happy... don't want to get too excited though, we need to acknowledge that without official confirmation (which is still months away) everything is still rumors at this point.

Throw in some awesome airtime hills and terrain hugging curves and this has the potential to end up as the top wooden/hybrid/whatever in the world.

If this holds true and I'm not mistaken, that would make this the steepest wooden coaster in the world, with one of the three largest drops of any wooden coaster in the world. And Swoosh you said this wouldn't be a record breaker. Certainly seems like this one could be flirting with that idea.

There are only 7 wooden coasters over 160 feet and one of those is no longer operational (SOB)

Someone should pull the cord while someone else unobtrusivly sneaks off into the woods to snap secret pictures of the progress

Holy smokes! 160 feet at 81 degrees is a big drop for any coaster, very impressive for a woodie!

As much as I approve this ride, I find it to be wayyy out of line for Silver Dollar City. Definitely something intensifying and extreme. At least it's bringing those white-knucklers to the park.

Here's hoping they go all out with the theming and really round out the barnyard area. The concept pitch had them doing a tunnel or two, which I would love to see. I wish some of the recent names weren't so generic, but as long as they pull through with immersive theming like they have been then I'll look past it.
