With some infrastructure components beginning to show up and 10 months still on the calendar until opening day for the 2018 season, this really makes me extra curious how much work really still needs to be done. Are we to assume that all of the excavating work is complete? Are all of the footers in place? Erecting the steel alone can't possibly take several months, especially this time of year. Unless there is still something relatively major we have yet to see, or this ride will involve a game-changing feature that will require significant testing (a la Lightning Rod), I wonder if this ride will be close to complete from a bystander POV when they officially announce the attraction late summer, or early Fall. Definitely love all the guessing, just wish we had something significant and concrete to get excited about. Regardless of whatever manufacturer and type of coaster we're looking at here, I personally hope this winds up being the longest ride in the park. Each of SDC's coasters all have something special about them, but none of them are quite long enough for me. I have yet to visit the park this year so it's hard discerning just how much land this ride will consume and just how much of a layout could fit into the footprint we already know is currently occupied by footers. Can anyone shed any extra light on these points to help out those of us who have not seen the site in person yet?
