Glad to see that Flying Eagles will go in Crossroads, further making that area less of an empty dump.

He made some great points about the markings, their spacing does seem to point to this being a wooden coaster. If that’s true, we can narrow the list down to two (maybe three) companies. Though that could just be my confirmation bias speaking.

Also, the Gliders relocation permit from last year must no longer be active, as it seemed to indicate the Gliders would be placed in the Whitewater Falls area. If the article is correct, it’ll go near Thunder Road’s old entrance.

There are markings beside the bumper cars, which I think its to mark a new entry to the coaster. The Flyers will be located at the old WWF location, I am 99% sure on this.... Will be at the park tomorrow again. Got some good pictures of some trees being removed and work being done last week to! You can see pictures here if you like.

Thinking about Alpha got me to thinking about Alpha Centauri, yes, space. Let's get onboard the winged coaster and launch into space, twisting and turning around the track before ending with an artificial splashdown, just like how old school spaceships returned to earth, with a splashdown.

Dodgems has erosion control barriers around it, I think Dodgems is staying put.

Probably soil testing.

Expect the expected . . . which is still unexpected.

There is a lot of room where dodgems is from the old queue line that took up a lot of space back in the old days

I don’t think they need to remove any rides considering how big the spot is. Maybe just make the entrance a bit closer to dodgems considering how much space they have

The 5 acres area seems a bit confusing for us to figure this out, but it is only a speculation thread. Hopefully we get some more clear clues before opening day or before anything is just so obvious the guessing game gets a little boring. I think the only thing that's almost obvious at this point is that there's gonna be a coaster in 2019...well, it's not guaranteed but we're all pretty sure of it.
