Quote from: Heart Of The Hollow on July 20, 2026, 06:39:52 AMDoes anyone know if the Mini Miners got their invite(or if they even need one) to the announcement? Have they gotten whatever their "top-secret mission" is yet?

Invitation, yes.
Top-secret mission, not yet.
Is the invite by email? I never got it.

Yes, it was an email. Maybe check your spam. It should have gone to the email that was used when registering.
Never mind. I just got it.

Quote from: RowEleven on July 17, 2026, 06:46:44 PMBA Adventures has a way of rambling for twenty-plus minutes without saying anything of substance.

With that said, even some family coasters need big footers. A big part of footer size is determined by land.

The land where Mine Ride 2027 sits is different than Time Traveler's plot. When surveying, they may have found that the distance to bedrock is far greater. They also need to build the piers/footers below the frost line so Missouri's temperature swings don't shift the base of the ride. There are a lot of factors that play into footer size that don't necessarily have anything to do with the size or forces of the coaster itself.

I'm not an engineer, so I can't say for sure, but didn't Silver Dollar City reinforce part of Wildfire's plot of land with a retaining wall a few years ago? The land in that area may be prone to washing out, so they're taking proper precautions to ensure the new ride is stable for years to come.
Pretty sure this is Project 2027 tracker, not rip on B-A Adventures forum.

Quote from: blatym on July 15, 2026, 11:56:41 AMThis is just me daydreaming and sharing a cool idea i had. So don't take this as anything other than that. But it would be SO COOL to have a stryker that starts somewhat similarly to voltron but a but different. It starts by pulling out of the station with some gradual curves and slopes towards a mine entrance with some kind of warning sign. (Think gentile "pre lift" section with some nice flowy curves). After the train pulls in it comes to a stop. You see some warning signs of blasting and you hear some cracking in the cavern and some rumbling before the train suddenly drops down into a lower shaft. (Drop track instead of the "bounce track" on voltron). Once the train settles on the bottom in the darkness you hear a hissing sound along with the faint light of fuses slowly burning along the walls towards the back of the train. Before suddenly a large explosion goes off behind you, launching the train quickly forward, up and out of the mineshaft along with some lighting and smoke effects! (This sequence would Happen pretty fast) but this would be such a cool way to kick off an amazing coaster and I just had to share the idea. Again, I don't think this will happen but I love sharing my wild ideas lol. If I had the skills in FVD++ and could put the terrain in correctly I'd love to make my "pipe dream" layout with all the cool ideas but for now I'll just share them here 😅. Anything yall have been dreaming about when thinking of what you'd do with this coaster?
Bro SDC needs to just build the ride off of this this is awesome

Announcement will take place Aug 14 at 9:30am.  It will also be streamed live on the park's social media platforms

Anyone figured it out yet? It's going to be a great addition to the park. 
Where did you receive the invite? If you are going do you have to accept something?
Does everyone who signed up for the newsletter get it or only season pass holders?

Email.  Yes you had to RSVP. 
IF it's like FITH's announcement, the top level of season passes also got invited, but didn't get the behind the scenes tour

26 minutes of explaining nothing about the new coaster. Going down some serious rabbit trails.

I'm baffled by people looking at the mining hoist structure and confusing it with some kind of coaster support.

He did do some research and he said that he was wrong about that

Quote from: Heart Of The Hollow on June 20, 2026, 05:11:38 PMNew update: whatever the new ride will be will be announced on August 14th at the Mini Miners Crew meetup. I talked to an employee and they confirmed this.

The employees are also saying they are building the worlds biggest Subway.
I talked to the public relations manager and they confirmed that the announcement was going to be made on August 14th.
