So the new ride is not a new area other than the connecting path? Just the ride?

The new area stretches from the PK arch to the American Plunge arch and includes those 4 rides

Honestly, I'd like them to go more towards a logging theme.  That's what the Ozarkly article made it sound like they were doing.  It could also tie into why that restaurant is called Lumbercamp. 

They have been steadily working on moving BOH operations from their current locations next to 76 (and behind fence at FITH) to off campus locations.  I imagine this is to free up additional land there behind Lake Silver.  I could see another "warehouse ride" be added in that area

I'm surprised no one has said anything yet, but they had supports staged next to the station so it should go vertical any day now.

I am absolutely thrilled with this. Of course I would've loved a large thrill coaster, but this fits. It all started with a cave...

There's a lot of attention to detail with this. My only "meh" about it is the name, I think it's long and could've been more original, but Oo well. The ride length is excellent and I think the theming will be spot on. Hard to judge on a POV, everyone needs to wait until it's open to really judge.

I'm also a HUGE fan of Daredevil Pass...it's like a new hub area for the park. Well done, SDC!

According to the park, the entire area will be known as Daredevil Pass and will encompass AP, WF, MME and PK

There was a dump truck and some other machinery on Indian Point Road just outside the TT gate when we left the park.  A worker was getting ready to open the gate. 

And finally congrats to hollijo for being the first to post what the ride was going to be. I'm sure a lot us knew you were right, but we couldn't just come right out and say it at the time. 

Okay Swoosh, are you telling us that you intentionally said this was NOT at TNT replacement and also the announcement would be in September to intentionally deceive us into believing hollijo was incorrect? 

The ride was originally supposed to coexist (for at least a year) with TNT meaning it wasn't a replacement (at the time). 

The announcement thing was odd coming together. First it was said to coincide with Fan Fest but then they added the Mini Miners thing and I think it just snowballed to what it was today.  As is, I have no idea what Fan Fest will have to talk about

Holijo congratulations again on being the first to spill the beans.  I know you don't like me and that's completely your prerogative. I am connected to the park.  I personally have relationships with numerous citizens and uppers. Like I've said numerous times this go around I'm no longer interested in the "game" - so congratulations I'm passing the tin foil crown off to you.  Enjoy



I'm headed home now, I'll get the blog updated by later this evening

I have a feeling everyone will be quite pleased with 2029/30

2029.  Unless plans change
But let's enjoy this for now

Swoosh don't try to correct me now after everything over the past months lol. They have still not fully ironed out details leaving the year up in the air. But yes let's enjoy this "direct TNT replacement" and thank you for the call out of being correct all along.

Where were you today? Or were you hiding?

I saw BA-Adventures, Coaster101, Melanin Coasters, ACE/Negative-G, 🤮 Taylor from CS, Thrill Network and a few random ones I've never heard of before

I'm still not sure why everyone was so quick to to be convinced it would be a Stryker.  Is it because that's the cool new thing from Mack?

My favorite guess was the hyper.  There was no chance that was ever gonna be the correct answer.

Here is your first look from inside the station and of some footers we've been unable to photograph until now

I'll have my blog updated late tonight with captions of what you're looking at

Fun announcement ceremony.  Definitely their best one so far (and we've attended them all since PowderKeg). 

Enjoying lunch right now.  Quite the spread.  Not much to see on the construction tour.  They are doing interviews in the station right now.

And finally congrats to hollijo for being the first to post what the ride was going to be. I'm sure a lot us knew you were right, but we couldn't just come right out and say it at the time. 

In case there was anybody out there with doubts that this is a Mack product (hopefully nobody here) ... They shared the livestream link to their sgories on Instagram/Facebook

Supposedly, someone from Mack will be there tomorrow.  Dennis Gordt was there for the Time Traveler media reveal and then Christian von Elverfeldt (CEO) was there for the grand opening of the ride.
