If you've seen the video from the other site of the construction tour, his photos are more of the same.  No need giving that site any more traffic than we need to.

I had never visted coasterforce before. Very nice photo's indeed. I wish I would have checked them out previously. Here is the link to their photos:

It does sound like the final nail in the coffin for OzCat, not that we haven't seen it coming by now. I still hope GCI is eventually hired to build a more family-oriented wood coaster along the lines of OzCat for SDC.

This right here, only my daughter and I will ride Outlaw. My wife and son will not touch it. I found the POV of the  Wooden Warrior a neat little coaster along the lines of the Zippin Pippin I grew up on doing marathons.

I went out of my way to not us the TPR youtube and use Coasterforce's just for swoosh

The guy who runs CF is petty down to earth, while TPR is run by a creep.
Without getting into politics, I try my best to avoid anything to do with TPR if I can help it.  Bad mojo over there.

Got confirmation that Aunt Polly's is indeed closed now.  Word is that it is slated for removal starting Monday.  Sounds like it might already be gutted.  No fence around it this weekend, just signs to say it's closed.

What is replacing Aunt Polly's? I've known it was coming down but what are they doing at that location?

Starting on Page 99 of this thread, you can read about the changes to that area.

No surprise there.. thay have a lot of work to do in that area IF they are going to be open for spring break..

about 135 to 140 days, counting weekends. not allowing for bad weather.

Getting conflicting reports now. There may or may not be a wall this weekend. Sounds like they cannot make up their minds.  Still closed regardless and will come down starting Monday.
