Going to sdc next Friday and Saturday for my birthday! It's been 5 years can't wait! SDC is my favorite place not just theme park wise but my favorite place on earth period!

Speculative musing for thought: what if they are building a GCI woodie and calling it Ozark Wildcat to pay homage to the original at celebration city?

If that was the case, we'd see slab footers being created as GCI almost exclusively uses this building technique now. 

Just putting it out there, I only report things that can be substantiated.  I'm sorry if that's boring.  When I report something it's something that you can go see for yourself.  Sure there's plenty of "murmurs" behind the scene, but I also know that corporate likes to play games and I have no idea at times if they're telling certain people one thing in order to find leaks (has happened before) and it's not worth the risk. 

The only one saying "B&M" is sdcfan and he's wrong more than he is right about things. 

Just like he ran with "Big Footer" - no there's a big hole for footers.  More than likely it's a slab with one or more.  And no photo is possible unless you break the rules. 

I also think you're forgetting how fast Time Traveler came together

Oh.  You're talking about the new facade on the back of Lumbercamp Falls.  Your wording made it sound like you were talking about the cement slab which has been there for months. 

Yes the backside of Lumbercamp Falls is now covered in fake rock work

1. Every thrill coaster at SDC is considered a family thrill coaster

2. Interesting that some of you know the size of the footers as I couldn't even get the exact size from my viewings on the rides

3. There is no track or supports on site or back stage.  Whomever is saying that is full of crap. 

4. Keep an eye on the import sites

Bathrooms!! The bathrooms around the park need a complete overhaul! Of course I realize that they are public, theme park bathrooms, but they're gross! There are exceptions, the redone bathrooms in Rivertown are nice, but the ones by TNT are the worst in the park.

I guess I have not noticed any issues with the restrooms, they seem fine to me.

I'm guessing this is more of a problem in the female restrooms.  The men's restrooms are all fine.  Honestly with the recent redo of the HH restrooms they've all now been redone. 

Could you imagine Mack's take on Mystery Mine, but as a Stryker coaster like Voltron!

🫣 😏

If you can avoid May 31st I would highly recommend it.  That's Mercy day and the park will be slammed. 

Thursday 5.22.25 Update

Tracker has been updated with current news and rumors.  As always rumors are considered rumors until they can be substantiated

They didn't even try to dress up the backside of Red Gold or anything.

Um... yes they most certainly did. 
Please see the facade that was added to Red Gold in this update

Now the backside of FITH could have been better but there was a conscious effort made to the backside of Red Gold whether or not you actually noticed it

Bluegrass & BBQ Trip Report

Wait.  You mean there were people who actually thought that this was going to be anything other than the results of the 10 best voting? Their announcement time coincided exactly with the release time of the results by USA Today. 

They won't start the teaser campaign until August

^ that's correct

Also it doesn't "suffer" it actually does quite well with rider numbers. 

as far as what i think (or at least, want) to go next... am i the only one who thinks the american plunge is overdue for retirement?

last i rode it, all the scenery was gone or faded to the point there's nothing to really look at. you just float along, uncomfortably close to whoever's in the boat with you for most of the ride

especially with the shiny new thing being added in that area, AP's age is really going to show. i could certainly see it being redone in the same fashion as the past couple rides, reviving a classic into something fresh but familiar

They just got done extended the tunnel and have recently rebuilt the entire lift.  It's not going anywhere
