Quote from: MidwestInfoGuide on August 14, 2026, 01:08:40 PMI'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.

What else is first in North America but not world from MACK? I guess first in the world also counts but odd to not mention that instead, which i guess two lifts on a YoungSTAR is what they meant.

Quote from: BackInTime on June 05, 2026, 07:52:59 PMBack to the topic at hand, what is the degree of confidence that the new coaster will expand into both cleared areas beyond PK? Additionally, is it totally out of bounds to consider the possibility of the layout extending all the way to the cleared areas west and north of OR? That would be an absolutely massive layout if the latter were the case. Just seems odd that they would clear that much land beyond the need for service access, if they didn't intend to use it as part of this newest addition. Not speculating, or making any predictions, just wondering what others thoughts and opinions are on the final scale of this addition. 

I think that's just what was required for how hilly it is, google earth has it at 25m elevation change over just 85 meters from the edge. If it did go to the furthest clearing it would be over 600m, which only pure out and back coasters like Mamba seem to do, with how many footers are already near the station it would be pretty crazy to also go out that far, but there isn't really anyway to get the coaster there with the current tree clearing and road.

It's got the blue protection on the ends, maybe that's what they saw, or this is just some indoor section with some other color to come.

Spotted maybe 6 black or dark grey supports in the staging area to the right of Outlaw Run.
