I really hope the viewing area for Powder Keg opens back up after the new ride is complete and running.  I always liked to watch the fire come out of the station and the spinning barrels.  I always thought that was great of SDC to have extra themed elements for those watching the ride.  Thanks to everyone posting updates with pictures.  Swoosh always does a great job posting updates on the MIG site.

We were at the City this past weekend and heard an interesting bit of trivia.  The Citizen in charge of loading/unloading the boats at the Flooded Mine told me that one of the current employees had his picture taken then a mask was created by a 3D printer for the face of the new "prisoner" with the jackhammer in the Mine. We thought that was pretty cool.

Could it be a pass-thru building for the ride instead of a loading/unloading station?

Thanks for the updates!

^ Thanks!  Just curious.

What manufacturer was SDC using for T-N-T since Arrow went out of business?

^ I was really happy to see the Frontier Follies in the running.  It's our favorite show at the City.  Last year's show was really clever the way they brought the Mean Murphy show back.  Does anyone know if they're doing the same show this year?

We were there last Saturday.  I don't know how many people were there but I'm guessing a bazillion.  It was very cold and windy.  The only coasters open the entire day were FITH (of course), T-N-T, and Outlaw Run.  OR didn't open until later in the day when the temp finally got to 37 and had a 75 minute wait.  They were using the overflow line.  I was going to get in line but it was close to dark and they would close again once the temperature reached 32 and there was no way I could get through a 75 minute wait before the ride closed.  So yes I would definitely buy Trailblazers.  Just remember that the basic one only gets you to the front of the line for 8 rides one time.  We've never bought Trailblazers since we always buy season passes and figure if we can't get on a ride one day we can always do it on another.  Good luck.

^ We stayed this past Saturday night at the Super 8 on the SOTH parkway.  $60 plus tax for the 2 of us with a pretty decent breakfast buffet.  We've stayed before and would definitely stay again.  Never had a problem.  Good luck and have fun!

^ Though I love your idea about putting in a Baldknobbers museum I don't see that happening because most visitors wouldn't give a flip about the history of the area.  Sad.  I would love to see another indoor ride in the old FITH location.

^ 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
