I received a survey in the last couple of weeks and all the questions were based on which theme I preferred, a mine theme or western theme for a new roller coaster that spins. I had also been told by a SDC citizen that I trust that the Flooded Mine was either being removed or changed drastically. The survey made me wonder if the two were related?
All we can say is it is planned for 2018.
Well I will hope my health holds up by then so I can ride it. I would be in my 60's by that time. LoLI think this thread has really brought something to light.....PTB listen up, sdc needs a place where people can eat crayons
Did everyone catch "42" as the other option?
I honestly hope that didn't go over anyone's head.
Wait, is 42 some sort of hint?
It's not a hint, it's the answer!
So the coaster will open in 2042! Finally we get some speculation confirmed on this thread!
I'm confident in 100% confirming the following that should settle some of this:
1. 2018 debut
2. Official announcement coming in August of this year.
3. Their biggest investment ever (although we kinda already knew that.)
That's all I could get. Good thing is we will know specifics sooner than later.
The 4D concept ruined Arrow Dynamics, and when S&S bought them out and built the new one in Japan it had (and has?) plenty of trouble as well. I know there are new variations coming out now, especially with the new vertical 4D concept from S&S that both SFFT and SFGAdv have built, but that would really surprise me at SDC. Those things go well into the high thrill spectrum instead of the resort-friendly "looks more thrilling than it really is" type of stuff that you get from B&M.
It opened in 1993.
What continues to bother me is the fact that a lot of markings are right by Thunderation and even under some of the track. What kind of coaster could be that close if they were keeping tnt open? Walking down the line for tnt yesterday I saw the markings were a lot closer than I would like to see to tnt. What could that all mean?
The orange markings on the ground around TNT are for various cables. The actual stake markers are where the track will go. Apparently the new coaster will come real close to TNT's pull out of the station, and we know it will cross over at least once, but nothing seems to point to them replacing TNT with this.
The track cross overs aren't anything exciting. I'd much rather have trees, but it's not a big deal either way.
I'm intrigued at the double wide construction trailer. Perhaps I just don't remember it, but have any of the other major coasters recently had their own construction office? Coasters typically go up too fast to need an on-site office...
This had better be one blow-out outstanding ride if they are going to take their sweet time on it again. Outlaw Run was worth the wait though...
