Nothing to see hear, and nothing to do with this thread.

Except for the spinning of the basketball in every video and picture.

That's just a globtrotters signature stunt. It means nothing.

Is spinning a basketball a "stunt"?

Stunt:  an action displaying spectacular skill and daring; something unusual done to attract attention

Yup.

So did anyone make it out over the 4th to get an update?

[MissinTheGreenTrams]

Did anyone notice on FB the description of the video had the Original Harlem Globetrotter BULL BULLard...........?

On a side note I randomly made a comment on SDC's FB page about Wildfire still being my long time favorite coaster and how I hope they install more B&M coasters in the near future. I usually never get any kind of interaction from them on such topics like that considering it was just a random comment I made on one of their posts but surprisingly they did like my comment shortly afterward. It could mean nothing or it could mean everything.

It sadly looks like they like nearly all comments on their posts.

[sdcfan88]

Huh, well it seemed to be a first for mine then. Lol Maybe they got a new Admin since I last posted over there.

I would wonder though if B&M will jump on  the spinner bandwagon and make a variant of their wing coasters with spinning cars to step on the toes of S&S Arrow's 4D coaster lineup.

Here is a photo update from the 4th of July 2016
Nothing new was happening but at least I have some different angles to compare to what we've seen so far

What can be see from TNT













What can be seen from Hi Striker (looks like a clearing for a service road?) No markers to be seen on this side.







Over the top of the fence










Not much else was happening because of the holiday. As I was leaving today more back hoes & contractor trucks could be seen near (The new service road?) I wasn't able to stop & get any pics of that.

Good pics, Good eyes.!  lots of little stuff going on now,  the new "service" road is getting lots of attention and traffic....

[Coaster]

Thanks for the update!

[Swoosh]

So absolutely nothing has happened behind the fence.   That road and cement blocks have been there for awhile

[psychosaw13]

Yeah the only thing I could visually see was that the contractor trucks & a small green back hoe & the large yellow back hoe had showed back up at the entrance of the new service road on Indian point after the 4th I left around 6pm on the 5th.
I did notice the Job site trailer from TNT lift hill & the construction of the new wall on one of the turns of TNT but most of us eagle eyes have already seen that. I did walk down near the WOW exit to look off into the woods but the was nothing worth noting.
Everything if anything is taking place over by TNT right now.

Will be in town on Sunday and Monday. Looking forward to seeing what's going on with the holiday in the rear view.

Thanks for the update psychosaw13. Looks like the major visible progress has certainly slowed quite a bit. I'll probably hold off on making a trip until the end of this month or August. I have a feeling things will start really moving again in August.

[psychosaw13]

You guys are welcome, I just to contribute in any way I can. I'll probably make a return trip in the middle of August & then again in November.

Here is one I forgot to add in my original post. This is right next to the track of TNT
