Id still love for it to be a Dive Coaster whether it be the well known people eater made by B&M or a variant of the Mack Big Dipper concept. The style would be a better fit for the park and the "Wild Mountain" name does sound more in tune to HFEC and SDC than "Time Traveler". But hey thats just me. lol

If you missed the KY3 report here are some screen captures with some construction shots and a look at the new TNT entrance

One more thought....

Give SDC credit that they didn't disrespect us (fans and GP) by not acknowledging that something is going on.  How they started this is nice, simple, and exciting.

Any chance with the building going so big there is a Verbolten style element involved?

Hmmm, maybe the reason the building is going so high is because it's going to be a mountain structure..

[Dewayne]

Please have themeing as good as Expedition Everest and go backwards... *fingers crossed*

I think the 2 names is because they will both be 1, like "Powder Keg: A blast in the wilderness"

Im thinking something like, "Wild Mountain: Time Traveler Edition"

Maybe even went with more than 1 theme, possibly.....

Hmm. maybe,,, IF they do that would be a massive amount of work for a loading station...

I've long pined for a drop track at the bridge in a redo of FITH. Posted  ides of Thirteen in England as an example. I'll take one here. Does Mack do drop track elements on coasters?

One of the German parks has a coaster where the lift doubles as a drop tower for the coaster train. That's a Gerstlauer.

I've also pined for a drop Tower/coaster combo where the drop tower is a shift into a mine as part of a queue to the actual coaster station.

I think it's just going to be a big loading station... the photos are looking increasingly like the loading area will be at the top, so I assume we'll see a drop right out of the station.

I'm wondering if a second structure/tower will rise out of the pit with the massive footers though. Something big is going to use those things.

I was thinking multiple attractions coming off the structure. Not just a loading station.

I think we'll have an elevator lift down a level for maintenance much like what they do on Mystery Mine. 

So in other words....

1. Load
2. Maintenance
3. Maintenance
4. BOH
5. BOH

Fully expect them to use the BOH levels for storage for EH.

So do you think that hat the trains will be stored in one of the lower levels of this building, instead of using a separate garage like WF and PK do?

[Swoosh]

Yes. That has been my assumption for awhile now.

Sweeeeeeettt! Cant wait til its open to see it when they bring out 1 more train than they have on busy days, and when they put 1 back.
