It will be at the 2026 Fan Fest

The point being, there are no multi launch minetrains.  There's your world first

That would REALLY be shitty if that's where they are going with this marketing.

But aren't most "first in the nations"? They're usually made up stats for marketing

are we sure that this will replace thunderation? i feel like we can have both a launched mine train and a normal one (and i suppose a launched mine train would be a little more intense)
also, what has happened with chainlifts at sdc? we havent had a traditionally lifted coaster since outlaw run. was there some sort of incident, or do they just prefer launches now

I'm quite confident that TNT is going to be removed. 

Launches take up less space and less materials and have a bigger ROI

[launched]

*cough* *cough* *cough*

I have zero proof to back this up but honestly putting together the pieces I don't see this can anything other than a launched (because that's all they've built lately) Mack (because they seem to have fallen in love with that company) mine train (just going off the teaser image shared at FanFest and the loud rumor that TNT is being removed). 

I'm open to debate on why my guess is incorrect but honestly I don't see how it will be anything else. 

That certainly seems likely, but what of that would be first of it's kind in the US?

I guess I didn't realize there was a launched Mack Minetrain let alone one in the States.

^ If nothing or little why would they go to the trouble of having a FanFest?

Sounds like the PTB wanted their own version of D23 which is what this supposedly is. 

Too many moving parts.  Too many pots in the fire right now.  Personally I think this is a 2027 addition.  Supposedly there's something coming next season but this is not it.  No idea.  Also there's apparently something coming this season over by FITH but not a ride though.  I'm guessing something to enhance the theme over there.  Only thing I can think of is maybe a new Fireman's Cemetery? I think that's the only thing they didn't recreate for the new FITH

BEWARE there's lot of misinformation going around right now.  It's getting difficult to shift through everything.   Be careful what you share.  I've seen this before

New M&C is already under construction behind the hotel.  Frame is already up.  That whole area (where M&C and other BOH buildings are located) is (rumored) to become an expansion plot

Will get them on my blog tomorrow

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.
