Wow, definitely more shuffling than usual in addition to the physical changes near Time Traveler. Moving the baseball cart into an actual store is another important step to ease congestion in that area. Mortimer's new place will give them a better spot to put the little magic show on.

So the quilt/yarn shop is gone for good, which I think most of us knew was coming... is Greatest Gift gone as well? Also the shop that sold those signs... not that it was anything different than the signs that clutter every craft fair these days. I hope they can bring back a quilt shop again sometime since that's one of the few crafts that some people still really connect to and it's easy to make a shop for it.

^Also good to get confirmation that the ride is set to open with the park. Not that there was much doubt, but it was ambiguous. Ride conditions sound pretty standard. The weight thing is probably just to be on the safe side. It's all about how you are "built"

I don't get the 52 inch chest thing, there's no chest vests or OTSRs involved with the restraint system. 200lbs, good lord, that's insane for SDC.

It's been there by Corkscrew for awhile now

What in the world? Is that just for the first ride? Got to look good for the PR pics? If that is the rides requirements there are going to be a lot of angry Ozark natives left out.

^ Yeah kinda bizarre. I'm 220 myself.

Guys they have this warning on ALL of their major coasters. Look at the Ride Accessibilty guide online.
Stop making mountains out of mole hills

shavethewhales · February 25, 2018, 11:18:31 AM

Yeah, again, this warning was definitely written to be on the safe side. If you can fit on Outlaw I imagine you'll have no trouble here. Some 200+ people carry it all in the middle and it's impossible to get a safety bar down. Then you have some really big people who are built differently and manage to squeeze in.

how very truck stop at an exit sounding. will they sell greasy chicken and deep fried burritos and sausage biscuits wrapped in saran wrap?

Oh wait, a Chick Fil A rip off. Waffle Fries?

History Buff · February 27, 2018, 05:41:18 PM

They can time travel, and they bring back fried chicken and macaroni?

Is the time machine still a con game, or is it supposedly legit?

time travel, forward and backward, is possible depending on the right flight times to and from Asia and all you need a boeing or airbus.

kinda puts to rest the whole spinning thing

shavethewhales · February 27, 2018, 06:30:37 PM

Very interesting, thanks for pointing that video out.

So the cars ARE spinning out of the station somehow, or at least they were in part of that video. So it's a controlled, mostly-gravity induced spin that can also apparently be induced at certain points? That's confusing enough.

Bottom line though is it looks fantastic. This latest footage looks much more forceful, fast, and spinny. It's still hard to get a feel for it through a computer screen, but I'm excited to try it in just over two weeks.

the official video is on SDC's Youtube page at https://youtu.be/ZOU_3yqQC_Y

I also have copies that they sent me on my Facebook fan page and Youtube channel.

And it's looking awesome. Can't wait to ride.

sdcfan88 · February 28, 2018, 01:40:15 AM

Awesome featurette video! Glad they finally came out with this! Been trying to explain to people ever since this was announced how the "controlled" spinning will work as I previously mentioned it would be best described as a brake caliper for a giant disc brake similarly seen on a car. For anyone else curious Go to 1:44 You are welcome. haha
