I really wish this was something thrilling but it's not. Project 2027 is a DIRECT TNT replacement. This has been planned for the past 3+ years. Anyone who expects this to be on the same level of Time Traveler thrill wise is going to be disappointed. Obviously this will be marketed the entire family but this is not going to be a thrill machine or anything remotely close. It will be Thunderation's Mystic river falls with a first of its kind and some "family friendly" records broken. Herschened as a whole is pivoting entirely from Thrill to family and this will follow

The only "TNT Replacement" this ride will be is that they're both rollercoasters.  I guess you could make the argument it's replacing 1 for 1 but the REAL "TNT Replacement" is coming on 2029.  This ride was planned well before TNT decided to kick the bucket faster than expected.  TNT was expected to coexist with this new ride next season. 

Swoosh, thanks for being the voice for reason amongst all these new users adamantly trying to convince us of something other than what's obvious.  I appreciate what you contribute to this forum.

I guess in August when SDC makes the announcement you guys will finally see this is not a thrill machine and Insted a Thunderation replacement. But in the meantime believe what you want lol 

I guess time will ultimately tell, but I'm fairly certain you are being misled by your "insider"

SDC sent out a survey on a family rollercoaster coming in 2029.  This appears to be something like Big Bear Mountain or the new Werewolf Canyon coming to SFFT in 2027. 

My thoughts are that THIS will be the TNT replacement. 

Sorry I did not get screenshots (yes but Thoosie fail on my part)

This!  That is what I truly feel.  I am 100% convinced the 2027 coaster is a Stryker and the next one will be young kid friendly.  They were not expecting to close TNT after this year.  The 2027, first of it's kind in the States, was planned well before.

Where are you getting this information from? 

With the announcement of the Mini Miners Crew this morning, Silver Dollar City confirmed that project 2027 will be a family-friendly ride. You don't involve a bunch of 5-12 year-olds in your "historic" announcement if it won't be directly relevant to them. 

This has zero to do with the 2027 project

At the end of the day this is a TNT replacement, not much more and not much less. Probably longer, better themed and more unique but its a TNT replacement. Think of Mystic River Falls replacing Lost River, it was the first of its kind (tallest fastest etc..) this will be no different.

Sounds like you have some inside information.  I'm not convinced it is a TNT replacement.

The more I look at this the more I think it could be kinda similar to Cobra's Curse at BGT (But on Steroids). That is (family-thrill) and I think SDC would blend a Mine Train theme and some sort of first of its kind element(s) into it but a similar ride experience overall. I think it would be neat to see some sort of backwards train option like OG TNT before it was taken away as well. I do however, think it will be the longest rollercoaster in the park in terms of length and duration by far. As well as the largest investment in SDC history. Anyone who thinks Hyper is sadly delusional. I see this staying pretty low to the ground with some small lift hills here and there to stretch out the length and duration.

Why would you think it will be similar to Cobra's Curse?  I seriously doubt it will be another spinning coaster, and we have been told it will be the first of it's kind in North America.  Pair that will ACE Coaster Con coming to SDC next year, and the massive plot of land.  I will be shocked if this is not a hyper or Stryker.  Those 2 check the box of 1st in North America (Mack has zero of either model in North America).  Delusional would be thinking this will be a Cobra's Curse clone.

This is pretty rough.  It's a little hard to tell the exact border of the ride

And one more, Maverick.  I realize it's an Intamin but I feel like a Mack version of it could really fit well theme wise, and land size

Very possible.  I also mapped out DC Rivals to get an idea of land size, since I am very hopeful for a hyper.

I messed around on Google Earth this morning to do a rough comparison of how much land TT, PK, and WF take up versus the new project.  2027 is over an acre less than PK, but larger than WF and TT.

After looking at Mack's webpage again, I am completely confused why any of you think this couldn't be a Stryker.  Their website says it is for kids as young as 6 and 1.2 meters, which is less than 4 feet tall.  Clearly a coaster for families.  Also, their hypercoaster videos show young kids riding it.

I'm pretty sure those two pallets are concrete forms instead of pavers
