^ I would think that's one of the main reasons for the new enclosures.  Hope so anyway. 

^ I can't think they would close AP for the whole year unless it was completely unavoidable.  Having AP down all summer would make the incredibly long lines already experienced at MRF nightmarish.

Check with the park to make sure they're not closing.  About 10 or so years ago we were there on a Saturday in December.  Got there around park opening at 11 and a little after 4 they announced that winter weather was moving in and they ended up closing at 5:30.  We were parked in Lot 3 at the bottom of the hill so we were fortunate to get out before it began.  They ended up getting 4 inches of snow.

^ Thanks Swoosh

^ It was delayed per our guesses.  For all we know it was planned for 2027 from the beginning.  I would expect an announcement around August right before 2027 Season Passports go on sale.

^ Agree.  And especially since I consider T-N-T a family ride I would hate to see it go.  They don't need to replace it with another ride.  They need to give T-N-T some TLC AND build another family coaster, which still sounds like they are in the process of doing.  T-N-T was their 1st real coaster (as opposed to the original FITH being a dark ride with coaster elements) so the nostalgia factor is there too.  We are getting to the age where we have stopped riding the more intense coasters (except for Outlaw Run which doesn't spend too much time upside down) and our daughter only rides the less intense rides so keeping T-N-T and adding another mild coaster really "fits our pistol".

^ That's good news they are getting another one.  I would hate to see the knife making demonstrations go away.

^ From the talk on this board I really wasn't expecting them to announce the new ride for next year.  And yes I thought Choctaw Charlie was entertaining but to me they didn't really have anything I would have considered big for a Fan Fest.  But it was nice for them to have a Season Pass Holder exclusive showing (even if it was streamed to everyone).  We have been Season Pass holders for 35 years now ourselves.  And it was really great of them to offer active military free Season Passes (Season Passports I guess now).  Did you get an ice cream freebie, MG?

Yes the Fan Fest was Shakespearean: Much Ado About Nothing

It's Big Reveal Day!!

^ Well I may have to give T-N_T another chance when we go in October then.  It's been a couple of years since we've ridden because the last time I did it hurt my back enough that I had trouble walking the next day.

^ And/or fixed Thunderation.

^ I guess we'll know when they make the announcement for what's new for 2026 during the September 27th rally.

^ Great pictures!  I gained 10 pounds just looking at the cookie sundae LOL

^ Not completely but at least this does tell us it will be a new family coaster.  That was the rumor we have been talking about but this seems to confirm it - whatever the name.  And I was encouraged that they asked which name seemed to fit the theme of SDC most and why.  I picked Miner's Rush as the 1st choice because that seemed to fit in most with an 1880s mining theme park.
