Track has already arrived.
I thought you were our new "informant"

Three weeks post announcement and MME went vertical only a matter of days later. Can't believe we haven't seen more pics.

There hasn't been much visible progress since then. I've visited a couple of times since the 14th, and I haven't seen enough development to document it.

I've ridden 10 of the I-Box/Topper Track RMCs, and yes, the lap bars are all as heavy as the ones on Outlaw Run.

I hope SDC refurbs American plunge as well. The ride itself is fine, but the sealed tunnel and broken/dilapidated scenery is way below SDC standards. I miss the old scenes in the tunnel.

Loving the color of the supports. Excited to see the earthwork and theming start to come together too. I kinda wish they'd enclose one or two of the canyon-like earthwork elements there so that it feels just a bit more mine-like.

Agreed. I'm a fan of everything about the look and layout, but can't help feeling like it was a big miss not incorporating more tunnels. A mine themed ride inherently feels like something that should be underground more than once. I certainly hope the animated POV ride through is an accurate representation of the finished work. Some of the channeling elements with the train running through may help significantly with a more exciting mine feel, without going into darkness. But I assume that's going to take a fair amount of earthwork, I sincerely hope they ultimately don't skimp on. As good as TT and WF are, one thing that's always turned me off was the look of them having cleared an entire footprint for the ride, erected it, then we're left with a ride that while extremely fun, looks like someone just placed it on an open plot of land. Is it that difficult/costly to incorporate appropriate trees, landscape and/or hardscape elements around the ride once construction is finished? Just seems like an easy way to enhance the ride experience and aesthetics.

I'm excited about the addition of MME nonetheless.

The other thing that is awesome is how American Plunge looks to become more incorporated with the Daredevil Pass pathway by running directly alongside it, and will surely add more excitement to both rides with it all becoming intertwined like that. Wonder if they'll make any enhancements or improvements inside the American Plunge tunnel  ...

Or it's just there has not been any good pictures to get until today. These things have appeared fast since last Sunday, when they were focusing on steel work in the station, including the crossover stairs. Also the maintenance bay has gone vertical since last Sunday. It's been burning hot here so we've been having to take it slow at the park and top off on lemonade generously.
