Construction/Rumors / Re: Project 2027 Tracker
Last post by mg - March 01, 2026, 04:31:35 PMQuote from: tmstephe on March 01, 2026, 03:36:49 PMAnyone 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?
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.

Last post by tmstephe - March 01, 2026, 03:36:49 PMLots 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?

Last post by Lampie - March 01, 2026, 02:17:41 PMI'm thinking it will be mostly demolished, they might leave a few pieces but I think they want that location for something else.

Last post by sdcfan88 - March 01, 2026, 11:12:27 AMI 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 AMThis 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?

Last post by biscuitcreek - March 01, 2026, 11:05:04 AMSpeaking of 2027 projects, the billboards on US 65 between Branson and Springfield now say the resort will open in 2027. Previous billboards had an opening date of late 2026.

Last post by sdcfan88 - February 24, 2026, 08:41:16 PMWow they sure clear cutted and dug it out even more. That area isn't gonna be the same. More big footers placed on that hill now too. Terry's "it's gonna be big" comment is intriguing. Worlds largest Mine Train?

Last post by mg - February 24, 2026, 08:08:08 PMLooks like the construction area has expanded all the way over to the viewing area of the PowderKeg launch. There is now a fence at the close end of the track slide transfer building.

Last post by cowboy - February 24, 2026, 07:28:08 PMSo now we know that Thunderation was the next to go...
So do you think they will completely demolish the ride, or completely refurbish the ride - Maybe add a backwards section (like Fire Chaser Express)? They have a great investment on infrastructure that could be utilized for an updated version - full demolition of that ride would be very expensive and considering how many pieces of old rides that are still at the park, it would be out of character for them to expend that kind of money considering the tower for the toboggan and FITH is still standing.
