They are clearing out beside the tent sides, was told they are going to build some type of housing for employees. There were markers all around the area campsites.

On a side note, anyone planning on the SP carolina harbor preview tomorrow, it has been cancelled.

Yeah, as far as I'm aware it will be some form of housing for the employees. It will mostly be for the International workers though, then the american workers will have dibs on rooms lol. Hopefully they will still keep the workcamper program for the people currently living there. It costs more money for the park to use the hotel across the road. So this will be a better alternative.

Not sure if the campground is being expanded or not. I heard it was, but I have no clue. I had heard that there would be more cabins added, as well as concrete pads added to all rv sites (which would be a blessing to say the least). But I don't know for sure.

Looks like dorms are finally greenlit! Not super surprising since Dorney and KI are reportedly getting dorms. The rumored location is the clearing behind the campsite, right? The permit was filed in NC and it's near the other staff buildings, so that has to be it, right?

I would love if they could move all that stuff under Fury. It's unsightly and the world #1 steel roller coaster doesn't deserve that.

I'd also like more trees around Fury too. Especially in the center area of the new entrance plaza.

When my friend was camping a few weeks back, he said there were markers in the campsites, from what I understood some of the "upper" campsites for tents will go bye bye and tent camping will be at the bottom of the hill only. I could be wrong on this one, this is just what he said he was told. He didnt get any pictures of the markings I dont think, but did spot a Thunder Road car...

I really like the video and how many different colors the ride has. I've been searching youtube for a video ever since someone posted a picture of it and talked about it. I also read something about Intimidator's lights not being lit up anymore. Is there still a problem or are the lights back up and running again.
