Apparently image insertion is broken so here is a repost. These were taken around a week ago.

They were still adding fill to that area behind Powderkeg on Saturday. Not sure why they need such a big flat space back there in such a remote location. Makes me wonder if it is just going to be a new backstage area, or if it's part of the new ride. Would love it if we did actually end up with a coaster with indoor/outdoor sections. The clearing is very odd. really makes you wonder what they are doing that necessitated extending AP's tunnel. For just a path extension, they could have just cut out the old Jim Owen's channels and extend the loop from Wildfire to Powderkeg. Perhaps it's better to have more of a straight shot by going over the tunnel area, but it sure is a lot of effort. Must be more than just a path, obviously.

Duelist

I figured that they extended AP's tunnel to protect riders from construction happening next door with the new coaster project.

Hmmm, if Mack does end up being the manufacturer, it's hard to see which product makes the most sense in that location. If it's like Wiener Looping, then wouldn't that be odd next to Wildfire? If it's like Stardust Racers, then doesn't that look odd next to Powderkeg? Perhaps we're getting a water coaster again.  ;D

Macks take on Dollywoods Mystery Mine would be a fantastic addition to the park though I had always suspected they would have used the land where Flooded Mine and the Waterboggan Tower currently sits.

Lost Gravity's layout would be a reference to how the ride would likely be designed. Hopefully it would be better themed though with multiple pass thru elements and tunnels. I also hope this isn't meant to be TNT's replacement thematically. That being said I wish the park would get away from area/ride replacements and focus on additions instead. They have the land and soon to be Resort to justify it.

I really hope it is Mack.  Time Traveler has the most comfortable restraints of any coaster I've ever ridden.  It's probably unlikely, but I would absolutely love to see the 1st Mack giga.

Could you imagine Mack's take on Mystery Mine, but as a Stryker coaster like Voltron!
