My guess right now is a Stryker like Voltron but with Mining theme.

The tower currently being constructed seems to be a mark in favor of this theory as that coaster has a similar structure used as "theming". Perhaps SDC wanted their own take on Voltron.

The footer layout doesn't lend itself to anything massive.

Not trying to be perverted but it's shaped like a penis and two balls... or what we call a "rocket ship" at the MS when the boys draw them on their desks. 

Thanks as always for the updated pictures Swoosh!

You are quite welcome.

Man, I can't wait for those mugs to be eventually phased out somehow. All it does is bring out the nasty in people. (From personal experience working, not saying you were).

Is the $1.50 that detrimental?

No, I can afford the extra 1.50, and no, not nasty to him about it. I told him I understood about him being new on the job -- first day on the job and just his second day being in the state of MO. I was just wondering what type of training is given at SDC. If he had just arrived in MO the day before, when was he trained?

I agree, from Outlaw Run today Sunday June 14, you can see more pieces for it in the staging area as well as what appears to be black round supports.

Looks like it could be pretty similar to this structure based on the base!

Ah, I see it now.  That does look like a head frame for a mine hoist.

Those photos are very interesting.  I'm perplexed by the huge scaffolding.  I'm curious why they need it rather than just using a crane

It is for theming not for construction
The leading theory is that this is a former mine elevator shaft structure
