Bit of a sidebar but related to Rocky Mountain, here's a pic of the reworking of the Rattler in San Antonio



I love when rides take advantage of the terrain, and that's some great terrain!

That is Six Flags Fiesta Texas, in San Antonio. The park was built into an old quarry. It is actually really cool how the park fits snugly into the quarry.
Now, about the height you ask?? Dont know!  :-\

From the Bing shots you can see where the woodie actually passes through real tunnels in the quarry walls.

Would love to see the progress that is getting made on the new Pizza restaurant in the former Tom Sawyers Landing.

SDC Facebook shows a picture of them cleaning up the Outlaw Run area with the following caption "Seems to be a lot of activity at Outlaw Run today. Must be preparing for something......"

I wonder what they are preparing for?

The posted another picture with the caption,"Do you ever wonder what this track would look like with a train on it? The Outlaw Run workers are definitely getting ready for something…"

I am kind of surprised that the station shows no gates. I wonder why they havent installed those. Or that picture could be older. Maybe because of staining the floor. Less of a hassle to stain the floor before the gates are installed.
