Its been very hot and dry in southwest ohio over the past 2 to 3 weeks. Probably not much runoff to help refill it.

 

Oh. So soak city wasn't closed for inclement weather.....

Diamondback is back to throwing up huge splashes for anyone who was concerned. I guess there's no need to call CNN.

I just rode the back and my shoulders wet so it's all good.

Considering I was in town then - it rained almost all day booth days. Coney Island didn't even bother opening on the 4th. Stricker's Grove did open anyway on the 4th though

I will not post the picture but according to @27yankfan on instagram, a semi with LOTS OF WOOD was spotted in the parks parking lot. And from the looks of it, it looks like the wood is for track

 

Also more of the giant I-Beams have been placed vertically along the train tracks.

It's been speculated that the wood + beams are for a retaining wall. They're not for coaster track.

The wood shown in that photo is not of a high enough grade to be used for a wooden coaster.

It's obviously the wrong color too.

Neither was the wood for Son Of Beast. But you didn't see that stopping them from building that hunk of trash.

Well, for all intents and purposes, that was a Paramount fuck up. Not Cedar Fair lol!

[drummermattk]

Uhm. Okay then I'll just leave this here.

[PKI Jizzman]

I will be returning to the Island on Thursday. Expect uneducated 2017 guesses, a lot of whining, complaints about parking fees, a little bit of local beer, Skyline chili, and trash can reviews. Maybe a pointing shout out for the other Zach

 

-Zach

[prozach626]

^^ I approve of all of that!

 

Make sure to get uncomfortably close to random people while taking tourist pictures. Don't be afraid to challenge yourself. Beer helps.

Does this mean the announcement is happening? To me it looks similar to the saying "the cat is out of the bag."

[Nrthwnd]

^ Or.... "The chicken has flown the coop"?

[LiftThrill]

I don't know if anyone has seen this but I found a ton of aspects of this video hilarious.

 

[prozach626]

lmfao!

 

I think you have to be a coaster nerd to truly appreciate all of the awesomeness of that video.

Went to the park yesterday, July 16th 2016 and got some shots for ya'll.

 

It was a pretty busy day yesterday, so we spent some time swimming, so we didn't get many rides, but some of the lines were okay. I knew the risks of coming on a Saturday in July.

The train has real wildlife now

passing the White water canyon turntable we come to...

a big drilling machine that dug

holes to put all of these posts

lots of them

looking back

around the corner..

a clearing in the back woods... going almost straight across to Diamondbacks second hill

another view of the clearing as the train approaches the station

in the station now

see" Diamondbacks second hill! I told ya it was there!

a look at the clearing

moving forward, you can see part of the pathway to WWC

clearing again ( I hope it's a new area with some flat rides as well as the coaster... wouldn't that be nice?)

from the tower now

Action on the Mall... just because. Goodbye

[DorneyKid14]

It seems like the land clearing is on a larger scale than the layout is that was leaked.

 

Thanks for the photos update! Only project I'm really paying attention too!

[prozach626]

Thanks for the pictures.

[djcoastermark]

BUNNIES ! Who doesn't love bunnies ? Parks need more bunny theming. Cool Pics. Should be interesting.

[prozach626]

^no. Not everyone wears rainbow colored underwear.

[djcoastermark]

^ Huh ? What rainbows or underwear? I don't get it.

[John Peck]

^ I think one of the posts was edited.
