Thrill Capture wrote:Another teaser was recently posted with a tribute to Thunder Road pretty much confirming the theme to be moonshine

Confirming? Not quite. Today is the three year anniversary of the removal of Thunder Road. That's all that is.

Construction crew gotta eat.

Too bad the name is already taken. With the Blue Print Special as an appetizer of course.

This is how I think the site is lining up with the blueprints. my photoshop skills suck, but...

I took the latest site photo and superimposed a skewed blueprint to kind of make the overhead view into sort of a forced perspective view that would match the orientation of the opague photo. I had to fill in some gaps of track due to cropping, but I think this is how it's going to lay out.

New path from dodgems over in front of relocated flyers. In the most recent photo, the flyers are right on the spot where the left yellow steam shovel is located.

thoughts?

Excellent work! I think you are spot on, if the blueprint is real and everything that is perfect! Thanks for making this, looks great! I also agree on the location of flyers.

There is a fence being built in the "field" next to the old exit. My guess is track and support staging, even though it is kind of far away, they do need a big area for everything to go...

I definitely agree, that is probably what the fence is for.

With the fence being put up now (let's be honest, those things don't take very long to put up), and the announcement believed to be a little under 3 weeks away, do you guys think they will have track on site for the announcement like they did with Fury? I think they probably will, but this stuff is also shipping overseas, so who knows
