It will be interesting to see if they do any biggest, tallest, fastest type marketing with this. Or something to top that 95 foot tall loop from TT if it's indeed another Mack creation. Lol

yes that's what I was wondering. With the exception of fire in the hole, their last 3 rides have been "record breaking" in some category.

Oh.  You're talking about the new facade on the back of Lumbercamp Falls.  Your wording made it sound like you were talking about the cement slab which has been there for months. 

Yes the backside of Lumbercamp Falls is now covered in fake rock work

The "Giant Footers" quote is interesting. So B&M type footers similar to Wildfire? As we know with TT Mack uses the smaller and roundish footers for their support system.

Also I was poking around YouTube and people are still talking about wide track pieces being staged. Not sure on the validity of that. If thats true that sounds like a B&M Wing or even a Diver. If its the latter, hopefully its well themed and thoughtfully laid out beyond just a steep drop and some turns.

Would you happen to know where on YouTube people are talking about these track pieces? Like any channel in specific? I havent seen much on YouTube about the construction.

I was also wondering, has anyone got a clear shot of the footers yet?

[Swoosh]

The only one saying "B&M" is sdcfan and he's wrong more than he is right about things. 

Just like he ran with "Big Footer" - no there's a big hole for footers.  More than likely it's a slab with one or more.  And no photo is possible unless you break the rules. 

I also think you're forgetting how fast Time Traveler came together

Lol thanks for the shoutout, yes people can speculate but the hard truth is your word isn't always the end-all be-all either. So if I'm wrong here in the end too, so what? Nobody is keeping score. Stop being a narcissist on this board. You have been this way for years and people are sick of it. Get off your high horse.

The August announcement is coming soon anyways, so to avoid stirring the pot further I will just echo what was cited in the "old" 2026 thread and leave it at that.

That's exactly my point - we all love SDC and enjoy speculating, discussing, etc. I just get so tired of the "I know something but I'm not going to tell you" game Swoosh plays. I was simply asking him to either share what he knows or just wait to post something concrete. We all know the value he can bring (and I also enjoy his personal website), but his most recent post of "if you don't like it I'll just take my ball and go home" further proves my point. I don't want to attack anyone or inflame the situation. I just want actual news about SDC when I come here. Thanks for listening and trying to consider my perspective the same way you've asked me to understand his.

Lol, Ima trust my source who works in the park. And TT was just off the path, you aint putting this coaster right off the path, you will require an area to get there. The area is not ready, and wont be till 2027, its a field of literal dirt and rocks right now. Cap, if you work at the park you can get a good photo without breaking the "rules" And Ive heard so many people say "B&M Giga for 2027"

I think I'm going to follow Swooosh's nuggets of information over a random source that's probably a ride op, mainly due to Swooosh's near perfect track record of this stuff. They hardly ever tell any employees what projects are happening, and I worked there when they were building the worst kept secret of the park. Nothing was said by anybody until the announcement date for FiTH.

I do find it weird how you're touting this source like it's gospel but you're still trying to get info that your source at OR surely has access to. Didn't you also say in a previous response that you ruled out a giga personally?

[legoerosion]

Yeah except my source isnt just a ride op, hes worked at the park for over 12 years, and hes team lead\supervisor at Outlaw Run and Powder Keg. He knows more but cant say any more, he knows the manufacture and the type of ride, he just wont release it. Im sorry but youd be delusional to trust a random name on the internet over a ride op supervisor at the park. Yes you can pretty much rule out a Giga, Im sorry if your hopes were that bro, but he said "Dont get your hopes up for any high thrill attraction, dont expect anything over 200 feet" Im touting the source cause its more valuable than "swoosh" lol, the information is passed along from maintenance, there, get what you want? since you wanna doubt and throw a fit.

And why should we trust a random name on the internet who claims to have his source be a team lead of an attraction (which is a just glorified team member II) over someone who has a near-perfect track record on this forum in regards to new attractions..?

Getting pissy about me doubting you isn't helping your case either. You're merely the dipping dots guy at this point.

[shavethewhales]

lol I'm not sure what we are arguing about but be chill. Speculate all you want. Believe what you want. It doesn't matter. Sometimes the people designing these projects don't even know where it's going to end up 

General rule though: don't drag employees into this. They can theoretically get in trouble for it. Just say you heard it from a good source. It doesn't matter if people believe you or not - all rumors on this site can be taken or left as an individual sees fit. This is just for fun.

[legoerosion]

... Lol and who are you to be talking you dont have any information, Im very sorry I heart your feelings and youre butt hurt that you just found out what you wanted the park to get isnt happening, boo hoo cry me a river. Its okay though, youre in the denial stage of grief, we all go trough it, if you need to seek help I have some great therapist I know, I can get info on which ones are great from my sources, oh let me guest youd rather trust some other guy cause why not. haha

And I'm the one with the "hurt feelings"  it isn't that serious broski

[Swoosh]

Just putting it out there, I only report things that can be substantiated.  I'm sorry if that's boring.  When I report something it's something that you can go see for yourself.  Sure there's plenty of "murmurs" behind the scene, but I also know that corporate likes to play games and I have no idea at times if they're telling certain people one thing in order to find leaks (has happened before) and it's not worth the risk.

No hard feelings... all good

Going to sdc next Friday and Saturday for my birthday! It's been 5 years can't wait! SDC is my favorite place not just theme park wise but my favorite place on earth period!

Speculative musing for thought: what if they are building a GCI woodie and calling it Ozark Wildcat to pay homage to the original at celebration city?

If that was the case, we'd see slab footers being created as GCI almost exclusively uses this building technique now. 

[rabidplatypus]

Oh I hadn't seen or heard anything about the footers yet.

While the past few coasters have had a "record breaking" aspect to them, I feel this one won't have any of that but will rather be a "complete ride" that will be a great experience and be able to draw enthusiasts without the "records".
