good pics, they have made some progress in the last 4 weeks..... 4 weeks ago they had only bare dirt, no plumbing or forms or even elevation markers..

Just don't want them to get lost because we went to a new page

Here are photos of the work being done on Crossroads Pizza

-Vertical construction has begun
-Overhead shot of the layout of the building

Wish they'd release the art for the building so that I could help you guys understand the layout better. The new eatery will really class up the look of this section, which IMHO has been allowed to kind of "rot" while they figured out what they wanted to do with it. The new facades will match what has been done over on the sides of the Carousel Barn that face River Blast, if that helps give you a visualization of the "awesome" that is to come.

Swoosh, as a member of the press, are you allowed on park from time to time in the off season to shoot photos and get updates on construction and other park changes? Or is this SDC's chance to work with no "eyes" upon them, so we can all be wowed March 15th?

Off season photos at SDC are a hit and miss. There have been years where they have allowed it and other years the PTB have not. I would say that I'll probably be "off the grid" with updates until the park opens in March, just going off past experience.

Thanks! Keep us updated best you can.

Thanks for the updates Swoosh. Can't believe how much is going on in the park right now. I wonder how much they've spent on everything else vs. the new coaster.

Thanks for the updates Swoosh...It's exciting to see all the new work going on in the park...

Thanks for the photos. Looks like at least a small amount of progress since I visited a few weeks ago.

I didn't notice much newer stuff seeing that the pathways leading over to the farm were closed both days this weekend. I intended to get some pics, but didn't get back there to see the coaster.

Thanks for the pics Sanddune...By the way...Hope and all my other SDC fans members had a great Christmas and Holiday Season....

Thanks for posting photos Swoosh & Sandune! Enjoyed looking at all of them. I have always associated that building with the "Ball Pit" and have many fond memories of it as a child growing up in the 80's/90's. The ropes above would scare the heck out of me when I was little, but i wanted to do them anyway. I am interested to see what transforms of that building and how it is reused for the pizza place.

I walked by and paid my last respects to the old ball pit and rope climb course on my last trip a couple weeks ago. Progress is good of course, but it will be different seeing something else in that place.

I expect to see the old fort to become an outdoor dining area, maybe even a 2nd floor for outside dining.. I am sure swoosh could verify that fact either way,,

Sunday when we walked by we noticed they had just torn out the wax hand area. They had been waxing hands there just the day before.
