When the Waterboggan was built, they constructed some of the large wooden support trusses out in the parking lot across from Indian Pt. Rd., and then air lifted them by helicopter to set them in place.

after looking at the google maps photos i got to looking around and found something pretty neat. I don't know if this has been talked about on here or not but if you actually download google earth and zoom in on SDC you can slide a timeline back and forth and see satellite photos from as far back as 1990. Some are in black and white and some are blurry but it is neat to see the changes at the park. Also if you look at the 2008 photo it is in the fall/winter and there are no leaves on the trees so u can see the whole park! Like i said don't know if anyone has talked abut this before but i thought it was cool.

I remember someone talking about the timeline somewhere, but you're right. Really cool!

They coulda put it in my backyard. I woulda used it for a play house with the kid.  ;)

If they'd put it on eBay and posted a link here, there would have been a bidding war!

I wonder how many Bowlin Boys lounged around that place over the years.

A lot of stuff that can't be repeated in public forums, that's for sure.

I know it's already been asked, but does anyone have offseason access to the park who might be able to share some pictures of the working going on at the site?

I'd also love to see some pictures of what's going on. What would be the timeline for the PTB to make an official announcement?

^I have heard that they will announce during the later part of the summer, although it would not be unusual for them to wait until late October or early November like they usually do. The chain seems to announce new coasters earlier, and with this one being so visible I would expect an announcement by September.

Don't look for construction photos this off-season though. The park probably doesn't want the buzz to really start just yet since we have a whole season more to go.

Shave is probably right, But i would not be surprised that an announcement early summer might happen.

With all the dirt,excavation and construction work going on, and with it being easily seen from the train..  Along with all of the anticipation for a new ride from everybody, i expect to hear details and answers early in the year..

we will see.
