^A few of us are still convinced that 2nd clearing west of PK by the train tracks will start seeing activity/footers soon. They have been doing a lot of grading/dirt work prepping it for something.

Here's my pictures of the update. My visit was brief as the park was overrun with high schoolers and preteens making it a bit unpleasant up there. The local districts must have been doing their annual trips. And yes they were adding fill dirt and packing it around all the footers near the Plunge and waterfall. Not sure what those small sideways mounted footers are in the foreground by WF there. Might be for theming or signage? They look too small for track.

EDIT: lol didn't see the pics already posted above earlier, just the text. Guess cell service was acting up at the park not displaying them.

Saw a report on Reddit that black supports are now going vertical.

What would be a buzz kill on this is even if it IS a big coaster with height and length to it, I sure hope it doesn't wind up being a shuttle coaster like the SF Mack coaster currently being built. I've noticed the park is really shifting towards pushing trailblazer sales with its newer additions. They really desperately need another reliable high capacity ride after we lose TNT this year.

Time Travelers station was midway complete around this time in 2017. Track and supports didn't start getting installed till the end of May.

EDIT: Found this interview video with the construction manager of another Mack Rides project being built right now here in the states at SFGA. This one will be well over 300ft high and has launch elements as well. Note the technical discussion details and the size of the footers in the background to see how similar this project will be compared to SDC's. I highly doubt SDC's upcoming Mack (launch?) coaster will be that big, but it won't be a snoozer either. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=InDGxKbLU3Y

Didn't go due to severe weather in the area both days so I'll try next weekend when I'm free.

Indeed I have heard rumors from multiple sources too that the new coaster will interact with either Wildfire or Powderkeg.

I'll probably head up on the 26th to hangout and get a construction update if there's anything noteworthy.

That's in line with Time Travelers announcement and National Rollercoaster Day

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

S&S last I heard. RMC also has former Arrow employees.

Which is tragic because there's coasters out there twice it's age still around being maintained by other parks

Why are you reposting this?  Your original post is 2 posts below this one.

And the fact OP never replies to the posts makes me think this is an elaborate data mining scam to phish email addresses.

^Did they have flared square ends? Those are the standard design Mack support columns. If not it may have just been standard water/sewer pipe.

Confused on the need to repost? It wasn't taken down. Your thread is here: https://www.sdcfans.com/forums/index.php?topic=4911.0

I am glad they appear to be putting in effort with theming and landscaping around the new ride. One of my only disappointments with TT was how it still looked like a construction zone well after opening.
