It's a little hard to tell the exact border of the rideWow I'd say that's pretty spot on. If you add that little piece of clearing west of PK that's roughly the same amount of land as Hyperia. I actually thought it was a lot bigger than that. That really gets the mental gears turning on what this could be.

You should also map Hyperia, one of Macks newest Hypers, they had to do a more compact layout due to land restrictions IIRC. Its also why it got that really cool turn dive from the first hill.

Are we confident in it being Mack officially? I know the footers looked like Mack.

General Silver Dollar City Talk / Re: 2026 Trip Reports
Last post by biscuitcreek - May 16, 2026, 02:04:30 PMWent to Bluegrass and BBQ 5/8 - 5/11. Was well attended all days, especially with school trips every day but Sunday. Saturday ranked up there with Christmas weekends. The line for the 1 pm America concert on Saturday was backed up to Eva and Delilah's bakery by noon. Line didn't start moving until 12:30. Great crowd in Echo Hollow but it was so hot in the direct sun. The EMTs stayed busy with people fainting, etc. Many people left before the first hour was over. It was a 2 hour concert emceed by Mike Patrick and featured the National Anthem and another song by a veteran, the dancing saloon girls, Rivertown Ramblers, the Presleys, New South from Grand Country, Clay Cooper Country Express, the Haygoods, and a long speech in the first hour by the HR vice president of Herschend. The Haygoods closed out the concert and during one of their songs had a video playing behind them that went through the years they worked at SDC. Overall, it would have been a great experience except for the sun and the heat.
As usual Rhonda Vincent and the Rage packed out the shows in the Opera House. They will be back for 15 days during Christmas.
The bluegrass group scheduled for the Dockside on Thursday and Friday was a no show. Don't know what happened.
On Saturday our tram stalled out twice while waiting to be able to pull up for unloading. The traffic control for trams, cars, busses, etc. at the drop off was not good that day. And if you haven't ever had to park in the upper level of lot 3, it's a real hike from the lot 3 station at the end of the day.

Last post by sdcfan88 - May 16, 2026, 10:15:22 AM^A few of us are still convinced that 2nd clearing west of PK by the train tracks will start seeing activity/footers soon. They have been doing a lot of grading & other dirt work prepping it for something.

Last post by Wildfire - May 16, 2026, 09:35:05 AMI messed around on Google Earth this morning to do a rough comparison of how much land TT, PK, and WF take up versus the new project. 2027 is over an acre less than PK, but larger than WF and TT.

Last post by Duelist - May 15, 2026, 09:52:42 PMI really hope the viewing area for Powder Keg opens back up after the new ride is complete and running. I always liked to watch the fire come out of the station and the spinning barrels. I always thought that was great of SDC to have extra themed elements for those watching the ride. Thanks to everyone posting updates with pictures. Swoosh always does a great job posting updates on the MIG site.
