Guys if anyone is second guessing themselves with GCI yes it does seem possible but remember these are just teasers and they are meant to tease you! Now looking on the barn house teaser it shows the number #137 on the poster. Could this be the height? It is located right above the Miami lumber company logo on the right

Christopher Mallis wrote:I know this teaser was posted a page back but let’s break it down. So it seems like old man higinbothem is back with his teasing campaign along with Miami river lumber company aka mystic timbers. It clearly states that it is with big MOCKS construction and demolition. And it has a guy eating some corn. If you ask me this sounds a lot in association with county fair! But then again the barn thing so I could be wrong. I guess we’ll just have to wait for more teasers so we can add this all back up

Big Mock probably has to do with Mack. Mack is pronounced as 'mock.'

White Lightning was 137 feet tall. I think it's a shout out to WL.

It could be that the new Mack coaster will have a barn at the end like Mystic Timbers has a shed. It don't have to be a wooden coaster the have something like that.

Edit. Or maybe launch from the barn like Thunderbird. Who Knows

From the barns teaser, wondering if maybe in August they'll be announcing a 2-year construction program for Carowinds. from the text, they sure sound like they're describing an RMC of Hurler, when we have a Mack construction project sitting right in front of us right now literally with drills and concrete footers

Or that is completely a head fake.
Here are key words that jumped out at me:
• Miami River Lumber Company (Mystic Timbers wooden coaster connection as someone else posted (but that coaster was built by GCI)
• "We will cut it down, trim it up, and set it up to your specifications" and "custom furniture"?
maybe in 2020 a custom wood coaster or retrack RMC of Hurler?)
• "our lumber is obtained by means of vengeance" Steel Vengeance at CP is RMC retrack of Mean Streak
• "our next shipment arrives next season"
• #137 something is 137 feet tall...the top hat on the Mack coaster?
"Cedar Trees" reference to Cedar Fair
• Lumber... something about a wooden coaster.

looks like some kind of a face or mask in the barn window

It also says at the very bottom of the Barn Teaser "we are temporarily sold out of Southern Yellow Pine, until our next shipment arrives next season". A quick google shows that GCI primarily uses Southern Yellow Pine for construction (https://www.greatcoasters.com/?p=faq), so maybe they are saying that Project Alpha isn't just a 2019 project, but a massive multi year transformation
