So now it's suppose to be 2018?? I've determined that no one actually knows anything about what, or when "it's" being built at SDC. And those who do know, haven't/can't say anything because of the amazing "confidentiality" paperwork they had to sign. For now it's all just rumors. Personally. I like the 5,00ft tall 1,500 mph, 120 inversion Intamin, and B&M aqua Trax." However, the new "Mack Spinner" coaster is a great rumor too. Whatever this ends up being, I can't wait to see what it is, and how amazing SDC themes it!

^ Thanks. Awesome to hear what was actually there before, I'll have to look it up!! Thanks for the feedback. All of the photos posted have been taken from my Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge Plus. But instead of just "snapping the photo and moving on" I'll take the time to line things up, and make sure the lighting looks good, then take the photo... If I don't like how the photo looks I'll delete it and try again. I know they are no where near the greatest photos, but I try to make them look decent.

From SDC this past weekend.

Third Visit Of The Season! Well, this past Saturday we made another trip out to SDC. It was a nice visit. Much better than the last one!! We did our usual round of coasters, and this time we hit up some water rides to keep us cool since it was really hot outside. We had some skillet food. We checked out the construction markers near Thunderation. Took some more rides, and then headed home!! All it in all it was a great visit. I wont go into much detail right now, but be sure to read the capitions for the photos! Enjoy! Ride Count For This Visit: Wildfire: 3x's Powderkeg: 3x's Outlaw Run: 2x's Thunderation: 1x American Plunge: 1x Lost River: 1x Fire In The Hole: 1x River Blast: 2x Giant Barn Swing: 1x Firefall: 1x Then it traveled through here, and back to the station. Back to the station which now runs under the que line. Next up? Wildfire! Such a beautiful coaster! Through the loop! WATCH OUT FOR THAT TREE!! Going down. Still one of the most beautiful coaster settings.... EVER! This pot is for collecting change, which will eventually be used to buy a new train that doesn't rattle. Such a well themed station. Even the plants are happy to be at SDC. Theming... EVERY WHERE. A really like that the park has this. A great place to eat. With really reasonable prices. Fire In The Hole theming! "Must take this photo..." The event that is going on right now. First ride of the day! Off to the "baby making tunnel." Going down. El Splasho! Part of the old log flume, with what looks like a drop out of the building down to the trench. Anyone know what happened to this half of the ride?? Best place to sit on Fire In The Hole! Next up?! Powder Puff! Oh... Maybe not. Still waiting for a rollback! For those of you who are into this kind of thing... A very powerful wall@+! Very interesting to watch. Sausage! Yas! You might consider a tic-tac. Such a beautiful park! Noted. This is where crack is made, and can legally be bought. *cough* it's a bridge... Interesting to watch this thing work. Interesting fact! This is actually used to power part of the building that makes the cinnamon bread! YAS!! Amazing food!! Time to go look at the construction site! More markers "E Coaster" Markers. More people off to see the construction! Thunderation theming! Looks good to me. Noted. This is where I was told SDC is getting a inverted launched family coaster next year... Maybe someday this will get used again!! Next up? Firefall! Love Firefall! Very well done... So well themed. This is where I was told that SDC is getting a 287.6ft tall 98.2mph B&M Hyper Coaster. Lost River Of The Ozarks has still lost its sign... So much beauty through out the park! Next up.. River Blast!! Much better than a fancy river boat. I think we are headed the right way. I don't know what is more fun, riding the ride, or shooting the people on the boats from the paths. Such a well themed station! Note the girl trying to hide from the riders. Such a fun area!! Then it was time to air dry. Looks like our season trailblazer passes wont be needed here. A much deserved ride. So. much. Theming. <3 Here is where I heard that SDC will be getting a launched B&M wing coaster for next year. . . Oh look, a giant barn! Those people are getting pretty high. Buzzsaw Falls is that you?? Interesting read. Wildfire's bubbles were working!!! ... Well, kind of. Going up(side down)! Going down! Such a great photo!! That's all for this week!

From ye olde SFGADV thread. OMG!! I just laughed so hard a tear almost ran down my leg.

^ Maybe they consider Zumanjaro: Drop of Doom a coaster. . . Because you know it's lifted to the top instead of launched.

I don't see how Kingda Krap is not consider a coaster.

This seriously makes no sense. How can you not consider a roller coaster, a roller coaster??

Ohh. . . Emmmm.... geeee!!! From Cedar Points Facebook.

Wildfire 4 days ago.

1.) Kingda Krap 2.) Top Thrill Dragster 3.) Millennium Force 4.) i305 5.) Titan

Visiting SDC every other weekend this season. So far, it's been a great season.

At the park right now. Rather slow day at the park . . . However more importantly... This "Family Feud" skillet is amazing!! :lover

Runaway Mountain at SFOT!

Now that you mention it, I looked it up and Runaway Mountain does have a low capacity. Around 950 riders per hour. . . Ouch. I can see this being why the ride usually has such long lines.

This coaster looks so strange. Can't wait to see the trains!!

You just need to learn the trick to riding it. I use to HATE Magnum. . . But now that I have learned how to ride it. . . I LOVE it!

idk what it's like at the moment, but when I was at SFOT last season the line for Runaway Mountain was upwards of 45 minutes all day. Agreed. I have never seen Runaway Mountain NOT have a line. I can't see how it could possibly have a low ridership.

Love the videos!!! The station turntable is so cool to see running!!! And that splash is much larger than I was expecting. Wow!!

Maverick!!!

Steel: Still Top Thrill Dragster! Wood: Outlaw Run, with Beast coming in a close second!

You could have had an experience with Maverick like I had with i305. I got off the coaster and was like "That was it?? That really wasn't anything special, and it really wasn't all that great." Really had no desire to ride it again. Maybe you just caught Maverick on an off day! Let's at least hope that's the case, because it really is an amazing ride!

^ Technically, I was just trying to give some sort of possible reason as to why they would call Maverick forceless. . . We are all well aware of how force works, and what constitutes something being forceless. But thanks for trying educated us, and clearing up the confusion! Anyway, back to "overrated coasters. . ."

I think we have all just misread this. When the OP said that Maverick is forceless they were saying this because of all the time you spend OUT of your seat. They must be considering airtime "forceless" because you know... there is no "force" there. That's about all I can come up with, because saying that Maverick is forceless is like saying Top thrill Dragster's launch is slow.

Happens to most enthusiasts after experiencing the "Dolly Humps."
