Jrlooney88: AMAZING find. Almost as good as the blueprints. Even has an arrival date for the coaster shipment LOL. Here's what Jrlooney88 found.


Europe does their dates/months opposite of us, that shipment was actually delivered 5-9, not something to be delivered 9-5. And if I remember correctly, the middle of May is when the footing cages showed up on site.


Linger is right. If you look at the site, you can see other dates on there where the it's listed as Day-Month (ex. 20-5-18)

Maybe some others will show up and give us a clue. Dirk posted the original photos in the parking lot on May 18. When product comes into port, they are trying to get it out of there as quickly as they can so they aren't paying additional charges to the shipping company after it's cleared loaded on a chassis.

^ All the weights will include the shipping container as it list "gross" weight vs "net weight. This shows 3 open topped containers so my guess this would have been specialized machinery that showed up at the park around that time. A lot of times, places from overseas will send special tools and machinery that is formatted for the items they have produced.

If you call the phone number used in the past addition's teasers (Used for Fury325, and County Fair) you get a new message... The phone number is 704-943-2802.

The message it plays:
Thank you for calling Calico Architectural! Specialising in the creation of immersive sheds and shed accessories! We're currently out of the office working on a large shed for old Granny Byrd out in the mountains, so she can make more of that secret jam of hers. Although her shed won't be ready till next spring, you can still strike a bite on August 30th over at the trade show on Byrd's Farm. We'll be there, so come say hello! Thanks for calling.

I'm assuming announcement date will be August 30th.

Nice!!! I had wondered what that number was didn't think it would actually do anything though! It sounds like they may at some point add that to a teaser somewhere! Great find!

"secret jam" could be code words. I don't think the whole thing will be themed to moonshine, but i'd except some references that only adults will understand if they do theming to a farm and 'hillbilly' type type theme.

I could be wrong.

They mentioned her jam when teasing for the county fair expansion as well.

C'mon, "secret jam" is obviously moonshine. You don't have to make jam in secret.

You also don't have to make soda in secret but I don't see Coca-Cola revealing their secret recipe, now do I?

Coca Cola is made up of individual independent bottling companies, someone at each one would have to know the formula.
