I'm trying to make heads or tails of Google's satellite view.  Is the new SDC property on the north or south side of Hwy 76?  If south, would the terrain allow for direct access to the existing theme park?

Ok, I’ll bite.  Where should I be looking?  We live 7 hrs away and won’t get down this year to poke around.

Read between the lines.  They told you more than you even realize.

Just spitballing with some educated guesses here...

Rebuild the Flooded Mine at the FITH 1.0 location and use the current FM footprint for a new/expanded train station?

We were there at Thanksgiving and commented on the larger use of busses.  It seems like it would be lower capacity and take longer to load/unload than the trams.  But you’re right - busses are climate controlled.   We actually ended up walking every time because the weather was nice and we weren’t terribly far away.  It’ll be interesting to see what the finished product looks like.

I don't think we discussed it much on here, but that new pretzel dog restaurant is going to be huge.

It does look huge.  I hadn't seen this image before, but here's a drawing of the new pretzel shop from a presentation during ACE's Coaster Christmas event.  Can anyone add any more context?   I assume this front elevation is on the main path across from the Boatworks Theater.  Does the upper story on the right side cross the pumpkin path?

Exciting news all around …

What are our insiders saying about long term projects (i.e. what will go where FITH is now?)

You beat me to it, MG - I was going to say the exact same thing.

I’m not sure - it’s not listed on the allergen page, but SDC is very good about addressing dietary needs.

Yes - and it's been widened.

I took my daughter to see it.  There is a low fence, but the tree is still “running”.

We were waiting for a tram at the end of the day Thursday and a parking attendant got to chatting.  He said when it's all said and done (likely next year), people will NOT be directed to a specific lot and can park wherever they want.  He also said the shuttles/trams will run one continuous loop rather than going to one specific stop.  He did confirm that there will be two underpasses - one for pedestrians and one for trams. 

I know employees don't always have accurate info, but I thought I'd pass it along with a grain of salt.

Here are a few shots of FITH 2.0. It’ll blend in really nicely with the existing Fireman’s Landing.
