Silver Dollar City - Project 2026 Construction

 

PROJECT 2026

We are going to start on the Wildfire side of the construction site today.
Lots of electrical tubes coming out of the ground here.  We're also curious if this part of the channel (not used by the ride) will exist once this is all built

Some grading has been done here.  Wonder what the orange fence is protecting

Other side now.  In the foreground is the extended American Plunge tunnel.  We're more interested in the growing retaining wall they are building there behind Lumbercamp Falls

Interesting how there is a "construction fence" around the opening going into the expanded tunnel to block views of riders on American Plunge

Some construction toys doing some grade work on the site

You can see the grade work is basically going on all over the site right now

Another look at where the construction toys are currently working

 Now the view from over by PowderKeg.  You can see they have added fill gravel behind the retaining wall they have added

The grade work is a little easier to see on this side

They seem to be chewing away at this hill

More gravel has been added here

Again a lot of gravel fill has been added behind the new retaining wall behind Lumbercamp Falls

This addition was a bit annoying.  They have added a new construction fence on this side that is taller and farther from the site.  So photos on this side will not be as easy to obtain

Lots of flags are appearing in this area between Wildfire and PowderKeg

Better view of this area's flag population can seen from over by Wildfire

They are adding a lot of gravel for the new BOH access road they have built

This is NOT the new access road, but instead the old one.  You can see the more direct access road down at the bottom of the hill and one of the machines helping out

Here is the new access road.  The old road is there to the left.  The new road goes straight and on down the hill

Here is the road on the other side.  Thankfully they spared Hobo Junction

Here you can see the road go on down the hill and around Outlaw Run
