OOPS!!! I didn't mean to ruin it for anybody...guess I wasn't thinking...sorry everybody...is there anyway to delete my post for anybody who hasn't seen it yet?

Are you referring to the ax in the log?

Stop it on the 46 sec mark. Notice anything?? 

Way to ruin the surprise for those who haven't seen it.
When I saw it earlier this morning I thought it was a pretty cool touch

^Lol, I don't think it ruined it for anybody. Of all the things that have happened on this board, this is hardly the "surprise" we should have worried about ruining. 

They were very generous with the tree growth around the ride. It's not terribly far off from the real thing in some areas though.

Haha, I thought the exact same thing!

That seemed like way too many trees, even for Silver Dollar City standards. I love it though, and wish the ride really would rip through the woods like that.

I also just rolled in to branson, and i saw 2 billboards between here and springfield advertising the biggest wooden roller coaster in the world, here in 2013

I'll be there myself in a couple of weeks. I hope there are more progress pics to come.

Here are some pictures of my visit yesterday. As you can see then Panning Area is what is gone. Aunt Polly's is still standing with no fence but the windows are blacked out. The couple of Christmas lights that are on the building are just sort of strung up so they can be easily removed for demo. The bridges on the old play fort are still up and probably will be for the rest of the season because they have a lot of lights on them on all levels. Here is the link to my flickr page. http://www.flickr.com/photos/witt_family_5

Yay!  Yep, the panning area is what was removed. 

Yeah, heard the bridges are staying until end of season.
Hope you got plenty of photos of that area, about to look a lot different starting next week.

Headed out there in a bit, I will try to get a couple of 360 views...

[Ozark Outlaw]

Wow, I am not sure how I feel about all of these changes. However, progress is necessary! Can't wait to see some more.

Thanks for the reports and photos!

Not sad to see panning go.....
