Is there any sign of activity between the station and the fence? It would seem to me there should be footers on both ends of the loading area.

There are footers that line up directly with the opening on the station, headed back toward TNT's switchbacks. This picture was taken right at the "don't look over the fence" sign.

This is massive. The view of EH with the building in the background really puts into perspective just how large of a project this is. That view looks drastically different now and will even more so in just a couple months.

I really hope there will be a pre-ride experience for this thing while in queue.

I'm wondering if that 2 story open area will be queue area or what.

As large as that area is going to be, I look for a gift/souvenir shop in there somewhere.. there are lots of square feet to be used up..

I kind of want it to be somewhere where Poke Salad Mary's is so that it can carry both TNT and SDC2018 merchandise.

Wow seeing this structure in person it's amazing!!

Based on everything I have seen and read about so far I am thinking it is gonna be similar to one of these Mack coasters. Perhaps a combination of both.

That could happen, at this point Poke Salad Mary's will be open this year and will be open through the end of the year... It could easily be remodeled off season into a souvenir shop.. although I wonder if it would be "big" enough for the PTB to represent both the coasters..

I noticed the www.link on the fence changed and "WildMountain" has been replaced with "OverTheFence". Both links are still active and take you to the same web page: http://www.silverdollarcity.com/theme-park/what-is-it

Which made me wonder....what if I replace "WildMountain" with "TineTraveler"......so I did, but it only lead me to a "page not found" page.
