When riding the train, right after you go under Outlaw Run, far off to the left in the new gravel lot, there appeared to be a few black supports. Could also be something else, but they sure did look like round metal supports.

Quote from: Wildfire on April 12, 2026, 02:47:46 PMI'm pretty sure those two pallets are concrete forms instead of pavers

They are. The other side says forms x-feet. There are a few around the site and they say how long the forms are on the box.

You may look into adding the free tier of Cloudflare to the site. That would cache some files there so it isn't hitting the actual hosting server each time and it also has some bot protection.

Quote from: tmstephe on March 01, 2026, 03:36:49 PMAnyone know exactly what we're seeing?  Obviously PowderKeg is in testing with a modified launch.  Is this a planned change/upgrade or relates to the new 2027 ride?

That's just a rollback - its's what happens when the train doesn't make it over the first hill after a launch. I'm guessing that it is just a normal part of testing when bringing a ride out of hibernation.  PowderKeg is a compressed air launch so a swing launch isn't possible.

Looks like the construction area has expanded all the way over to the viewing area of the PowderKeg launch. There is now a fence at the close end of the track slide transfer building.

It's part way through this video: https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1CgSBBaiUm/?mibextid=wwXIfr

New teaser: https://www.facebook.com/share/r/182LHKq4J7/

There will be an announcement on Monday, February 16. Remember, this is just the beginning of what should be a months long teaser campaign with the full announcement coming later in the year.

Quote from: blatym on December 18, 2025, 04:41:43 PM...a sign that says "Coming to Silver Dollar City Soon A New Adventure Awaits!" Next to what looks like a bunch of minecarts with covers over them

Where did you see this?

Quote from: biscuitcreek on December 06, 2025, 11:46:59 AMDoes Rhonda Vincent and the Rage do the same Christmas show in all of the timeslots? I ask because during Bluegrass and BBQ all of her sets are different, so each show is different.

No, they rotate through 9 different sets.

There is a new 10+ set if footers down and to your right from the WildFire drop. This is a new set, not the ones directly under the hill.
We are now well over 20 footers.

It's not going away. It is listed on the An Old Time Christmas page: https://www.silverdollarcity.com/theme-park/festivals/an-old-time-christmas

Quote from: sdcfan88 on October 07, 2025, 02:38:15 PMThe previous "Take Flight" teaser still sticks with me on that aspect.

I don't recall a Take Flight teaser for SDC... that was the teaser for Dollywood's new ride.

Quote from: rabidplatypus on October 06, 2025, 10:32:21 PM...So the Stryker model seems to be a top candidate!

One strike against that model is that it doesn't match the concept art in the survey. I know that it is just concept art in a survey, but the train layout is completely different. I also hope that it has something like a 39" minimum height for more families.

That piece is from the end of June. My family is actually in it.
We've met Andrew Wexler (Herschend CEO) a few times. He is super nice, down to earth, and authentic just like the Herschend and SDC leadership.

It was a ton of fun and was exactly what they advertised it as being.

The new cheesy garlic pretzel bread was really good and will actually be available beginning this year during An Old Time Christmas.

I was really happy to see that we are getting a new parade that is bigger than the current one.

Overall, it was a fun event and we look forward to next season.... and we have to keep track of the Marvel Cave Mining Company certificates that we received.
