Wow, that post-drop turn is really looking strange. I don't know if it's doing a flip, a bank, leveling out, or what. I'm definitely looking forward to seeing the track actually go up there. You got some great angles of the drop too.

The station does look more and more like a stagecoach stop. It also looks like there will indeed be a walkway going over the track that dips out of the station.

Thanks for the photos.

Best pics yet!  That corner sure does appear to be inverted!  Looks like a roll to me!  I am so pumped for this!

Just joined, love the site!

We were at SDC today and you could really see the angle of the drop when on the top of Wildfire.  If it's only 81 degrees I will be surprised.  It looks completely vertical.  I didn't have a clue there was a new coaster going in.  We didn't ride the train and my kids won't ride the giant swing.  It isn't obvious from anywhere else in the park.

We drove around the roads near SDC trying to get a good view of the new coaster, but couldn't find any that provided a decent view.

ok here you go here are 45 photos of the new coaster from today!

Hooo-yaaaahhhh!

The Witt Family has some megapixels, and ain't afraid to use 'em!

Those are some great pics, by far the best we've seen. Not just the technical quality (excellent), but also the detail they reveal. That over-pitch turn, inversion, roll, whatever it is... that's awesome!

Omg Amazing! Now if you go back and read you will see I had posted on here that rumor around the park is that this ride would have a inversion! I was actually told that by a few people when I asked around. Now I personally did not like the idea. However for some reason the idea that the inversion would be a zero g roll never even came to mind but if that is the reality then bring it on! Just think about those head choppers going upside down and through that wooden structure! Sick! Seriously gonna be sick! Gosh I can't wait for track to go up so we know for sure!

Chcek out this link from a German coaster site they have a bunch of pics.  Scross to the bottom and
loot where they have drawn on the photo.  Looks like we may just have a G Roll here after all.

^They don't really have a bunch of pics, they're just posting photos from flikr that were originally uploaded by people here. I'm still withholding some doubt about the roll, but anything is possible these days. It just doesn't seem right...

I agree. I dont think there will be an inversion either. I just dont see it working out for them. But if there is one I owe someone a funnel cake.

That is true.it is the same exact photos that have been posted on here.  But with that being said i still believe that there will be an inversion. Maybe i am wrong but i have heard it from a pretty reliable source. But then again nothing is true until it is built!  If it is not true,  i will be sad.  I just hope that if there is an inversion, it is a natural way of doing.  I thing a zero g roll would flow nicely.
