PROJECT 2027
Welcome back to another update on the construction progress at SDC
The piers are continuing to get covered in the area just behind Lumbercamp Falls
We're still interested in what will become of this pit.
Water feature?
They have started to add large rocks for landscaping in this area
They have also added these tall wooden poles, which will eventually hold safety netting for the ride
On the WildFire side of American Plunge, they are starting to install lighting features along the queue pathway to the new ride
Additional rockwork has also been added to the area
Here is a better look at the added rockwork and the lighting features. This one closest to us might eventually hold a sign as large as it is. Also in this photo you can see the newest addition to the site
Here you can see it sticking up above the safety fence.
This scaffolding appears to be a new thematic element being added for the ride
Some are describing it as a head frame for a mine hoist
You can see here the scale of how big it is
There are lots of parts to be put together for this tower still.
There are lots of similar looking pieces still staged backstage by Outlaw Run
Here is where the tower is in proximity to WildFire and the new station
Speaking of the station, it has received a floor since our last visit
You cannot seet it from here, but they have also constructed another foundation just over the hill. It is much smaller though. Could be for a substation or even switch track
This new tower looks "used". I wonder where it is originally from and if they plan to paint it
One last photo of the tower.
It is going to be fun to see how this progresses
Over at PowderKeg, a new retaining wall has been constructed. They are now rebuilding the deck that all of the barrels sat on next to the effects building
Here is the end of the retaining wall. You can also see the line of footers going down the hill.
Crazy that they are still building additional piers. How many piers will this ride have?
One last photo of this area. You can see the wooden poles we pointed out earlier against the far fence.
