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...

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?

Speaking 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.
