^Those are still pretty small when you compare to the ones used for Wildfire. Unless the ride is gonna be 150+ tall or include a lot of G-forces to support such a large footer, Mack usually runs clusters of smaller footers under their track supports but I do agree and I have said from the beginning that I think the rumor of this coaster being a replacement for ThuNderaTion is a red herring tactic. Its like the "Wild Mountain" and "Lost Caverns" ride rumors used for their past projects. https://mack-rides.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/hypercoaster_gallery_1.jpg

The clearing so far also indicates a possible "out-n-back" type layout depending on whether they plan to wrap it around Outlaw and along the new maintenance road as well. Again I may be a bit bias hoping for a local wing or hyper coaster, but either way we will know soon. August is right around the corner.

Did the park say that's when they are revealing the ride, or is that when they traditionally do it?

^ August has been the reveal month for rides for a long time now.  Right before Season Passes go on sale in October

Nice I'm going there July 18-19 for my birthday it will be nice to lay eyes on the construction for myself.

It will be interesting to see if they do any biggest, tallest, fastest type marketing with this. Or something to top that 95 foot tall loop from TT if it's indeed another Mack creation. Lol

yes that's what I was wondering. With the exception of fire in the hole, their last 3 rides have been "record breaking" in some category.

I posted some photos of the resort construction. It's now gone vertical.

Looks like the back side of the Lumbercamp waterfall had a concrete slab poured and is covered by a tarp. I originally thought it was rock work, but looking at it more, it looks like a tarp and not what is typically used as a base for rock work.

Sorry for the FB links, but I can't seem to find a way to post photos here without having to upload them somewhere else and then use those links to embed them here.

Hasn't changed since my update I posted on June 19th, but thanks

It has changed. The back is covered by a tarp or something now. I know it's not a major change, but it is something new.

Also, the my post before that was about the resort going vertical.

Oh.  You're talking about the new facade on the back of Lumbercamp Falls.  Your wording made it sound like you were talking about the cement slab which has been there for months. 

Yes the backside of Lumbercamp Falls is now covered in fake rock work

The "Giant Footers" quote is interesting. So B&M type footers similar to Wildfire? As we know with TT Mack uses the smaller and roundish footers for their support system.

Also I was poking around YouTube and people are still talking about wide track pieces being staged. Not sure on the validity of that. If thats true that sounds like a B&M Wing or even a Diver. If its the latter, hopefully its well themed and thoughtfully laid out beyond just a steep drop and some turns.

Would you happen to know where on YouTube people are talking about these track pieces? Like any channel in specific? I havent seen much on YouTube about the construction.

According to my sources that work for attractions at the park, the construction is for a project set to debut in 2027.
