Quote from: Swoosh on June 22, 2026, 06:37:22 PMNo track.  But there are supports next to Outlaw Run.  Obviously no photos because they're not visible from the park except on the coaster and we don't do that. 
What is more, the camera lens required to get a good shot of the staging area would look out of place on the Frisco Silver Dollar Line, let alone a roller coaster. Good knot hole shots will be available in due time :)

The area is around the corner.  You wouldn't be able to see it anyway from the train. 

Quote from: Wildfire on June 22, 2026, 07:05:55 PMI sure do wish those track pieces would show up so we can shut down these new posters that keep wanting this to be a kiddie ride

The track is not on site.  No one said it hasn't been delivered

:):) That was hyperbole, wasn't meant to be taken literally. To highlight the ridiculousness of taking a 50mm lens on a Roller Coaster. I apologize for the confusion.

The site is back up!  Hopefully the owner will get some Bot protection enabled for the future.

I was just looking back through photos of the station.  The loading area is really not very long, which further reinforces my belief that this is a Stryker rather that a mine train

The fact that you can see the mine hoist structure from the parking lot is insane.

If the rumors are true that this may interact with the WF and/or PK layout, just wait till the coaster itself goes vertical with it...

Anyone see any supports (or even track) recently? If so any sense of scale yet? I know some have reported supports near outlaw run but I'm curious as to how beefy or tall they looked

The columns so far have been too far away to get a good sense of scale. The width of the pass thru in the station seeems to be on par with 2 wide coasters like Powder Keg or TNT, etc, but even that right now is subjective. Only thing you can get great looks at right now is the footer design, which coincidentally or not, uses a threaded rebar anchor bolt design similar to which can be seen on Time Traveler from the first floor.

The track width is the same for a Stryker model and their 2 wide models.  The wing seats are outside of the track

This video from B-A Adventures explains a lot about the new coaster. Check it out!

Quote from: Heart Of The Hollow on June 20, 2026, 05:11:38 PMNew update: whatever the new ride will be will be announced on August 14th at the Mini Miners Crew meetup. I talked to an employee and they confirmed this.

The employees are also saying they are building the worlds biggest Subway.
I talked to the public relations manager and they confirmed that the announcement was going to be made on August 14th.
