If anything it would be awesome if they reworked/upgraded TNT just a bit. It's awesome as it sits but little things such as adding more tunnels/enclosures around the existing track layout to counter it's likely interaction with the new coaster would do wonders to losing the "out in the woods" element that is likely gonna go away soon.

It *would* be awesome but we all know that it's not going to happen so let's leave it at that. 

Due to an appointment in the area, I'll be on park Friday to get a photo update.  The plan is to have it on the MiG blog by midday Saturday.

I'll be looking out for you.   I think ill recognize you.   If approached by a green hat and shirt wearing fellow don't be alarmed.  Just a fan. I'm planning on taking a lot of pics with my phone myself.   I'm bringing my new 3ds to try and take some 3d pics and videos also.

I will buy you lunch or a snack or something if I meet you though.   I appreciate what you do.  Yours and others works through the years have kept me interested, informed,  and vicariously amused.

I think you might want to change the title of this discussion to 2018  ;)

I just came from over yonder and couldn't find squat.   But boy,  TNT was riding great!

There is a new retaining wall just after the tunnel on TNT.  I'm not sure if it is visible from the road, I'll check later.

In other news, this is sounding less and less like a B&M and that makes me sad.

 :'( No!

I mean it would make more sense to get a more "family-friendly" coaster in that location and just wait and put a B&M between WF and PK, but I want a B&M!

So basically it might be another low capacity coaster with reliability issues. Wonderful. :(

I just hope it really isn't that gimmicky spinner or I will probably lose all interest.

Me too. The only way I will not be to sad if it is not a B&M is if RMC is putting in one of the new TREX tracks. Just no spinning kiddie coaster please.

This so much. However, I have this sinking feeling it's a spinner. I will be so disappointed if that is true.

Just need Arrow Dynamics to come back. Their rides seem reliable.
