Construction/Rumors / Re: Project 2027 Tracker
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.

Construction/Rumors / Re: Next new ride, next to go?
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.

Last post by sdcfan88 - February 24, 2026, 10:51:28 AMSomething too with losing TNT is we will be losing more of the neat theming and awesome hand painted signs in the park. Particularly inside the station building. Hopefully they can be repurposed at other rides/coasters and not binned.

Last post by Okiebenz - February 23, 2026, 08:23:26 PMWow that is great. I never got to ride BSF. I am thinking I am spotting the parts that still exist that are the current PK. I like PK but too bad they couldn't keep this one going as well.

Last post by KBCraig - February 21, 2026, 06:56:05 PMQuote from: Coaster on February 21, 2026, 04:16:07 PMThis one hurts. I saw the writing on the wall awhile ago...pretty soon the park will be vastly different than what I grew up with. I anticipate the train station is going to relocate, we'll get a new entrance eventually, LROtO is gone, FITH is gone. TNT was my first coaster. I know things have to change for progress but this hurts to lose. It was a special, classic mine train coaster.
I don't think that TNT is going to be rebranded with this new attraction as was the case with FITH. They're using the language of "retired" and their marketing is basically saying that TNT is no more, look for something bigger/better.
The park is already vastly different from what I grew up with. I remember the excitement of FITH being a new ride, but it was still mostly about the theme back then.
I accept the need for coasters, but the race to out-coaster amusement parks is the death of SDC as a theme park.

2. They sent out a survey on potential names awhile back. I'm guessing it's one of those
3. Yes tunnels. No subterranean
