They aren't going to go over the road with a coaster. They'll never have a need to. It's a fun speculation, but completely out of the realm of reality.

Now the thought of them getting one of the new RMC T-Rex coasters is interesting though. It wouldn't happen soon, but by the 2020's anything could happen. That or any other type of hyper coaster would be the one ride to get me really excited these days.

You know on my last SDC Christmas congested slow ride in I did sit in that spot for a few minutes.  You may want to consider that over the road there might be difficulty going under it however would not.  There is enough space under the road and under would allow a mine shaft to maintain the theme.
Are they going to do this?  Probably not, but its fun to think about. And possibly try to build in the new Roller Coater Tycoon game coming out soon.   8) 8) 8)

Contract has been signed, site plotted and looks like 2017 WILL be our year for a new coaster!

Yep.  Old news is old.

Still exciting though, right? I'm stoked for the scale of it.

That was what struck me when I first learned about it.  I'm hoping it isn't overly visible from outside the park but I don't know how it couldn't be

I think the days of having SDC hidden in the woods are over.

Where is the site? Is there a map to post? Thank you in advance.
Small wonder our lives have so little of God in them, when we come in touch with so little that God has made.

Okay, what the heck is this all about? Suddenly, several replies have appeared hinting at something big but no one is offering any details. Does anyone know anything specific about a new coaster?

Basically the info you'll be able to get at this time is what mammalone said - but I'll add this is the most expensive project to date for the park.

This.

With this being such a large project, will we be seeing construction during the operating season like we did with OR?

Swoosh

Considering the original time table called for there to already be construction to be happening, I'd say yes

Expansive? Large? Is our little city growing?? Hmmmmmm wonder what will go into this project? I hope not another section of family rides. That would bum me out. I know I have a child and all but I would like to see something geared towards teens/adults. But on the other hand adults (walking atms) bring their children for fun. And we want to cultivate those children to love our city. And yet its not what it used to be. SO torn.
The smell of asphalt and butane says home!

It didn't sound like a new section but a possible retheming of an existing section.
