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.

I pretty much expected that. It makes sense to open it in concert with the new coaster.

Lots 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?

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.

Got it.  Thank you!
