Construction/Rumors / Re: Project 2027 Tracker

Last post by sdcfan88 - March 02, 2026, 11:12:59 AM

The speculation front has been quite interesting to say the least. It's gone from being a Mack Hyper or Stryker to a Vekoma Launch Coaster, the impractical being a single rail low capacity S&S/RMC coaster themed to mine carts, to the silly with it being another Mack Spinner. If it is a replacement Mine Train I can only figure SDC is gonna market it as the world's largest and fastest Mine Train or something to keep the titles they had with TNT as it was the tallest and fastest of it's kind. Hopefully we see the first track put in place to confirm the manufacturer later this month but I still hold firm it's 99% a Mack product based on the footers.

Do note Terry's comment about it being big and the additional large footers built on that little hill there in the construction footage...

On second watch, the little area where you could view powderkeg's launch is being completely redone. Honestly a little sad about that since that corner was one of my favorite places to relax.

edit: Is terry allowed to post these behind the scenes videos? his lines sound scripted so I wonder if its a marketing campaign by SDC to keep us speculating...

Lots of interesting stuff in this short clip.  Anyone know exactly what we're seeing?  Obviously PowderKeg is in testing with a modified launch.  Is this a planned change/upgrade or relates to the new 2027 ride?

Thank you so much for posting this! I've been looking for footage of a PowderKeg rollback for FOREVER! Between this and the Buzzsaw Falls, PoV, lots of SDC lost media is being found!

That's just a rollback - its's what happens when the train doesn't make it over the first hill after a launch. I'm guessing that it is just a normal part of testing when bringing a ride out of hibernation.  PowderKeg is a compressed air launch so a swing launch isn't possible.

I'm thinking it will be mostly demolished, they might leave a few pieces but I think they want that location for something else.

I pretty much expected that. It makes sense to open it in concert with the new coaster.

Random Talk / Error message for the board

Last post by biscuitcreek - March 01, 2026, 11:09:00 AM

This is the first time in several days that I have been able to get the board to come up. I have been getting an error message about the site exceeding the bandwidth. Has anyone else had this issue?
