Most people don't know. ;-)

It's very expensive and very limited. It's basically like the VIP tours most regional parks have. I'll see if I can find the news article from a few years ago discussing it.

That'll be two of the three SeaWorld announcements.

I'm cautiously optimistic about SWSA's new coaster. We could potentially have an American Juvelen on our hands!

So far 2 different people posting it so it has to be real it's just the fact will Tony and Jason rent a crane to just tease the coaster enthusiasts or is it rmc coming in to do the water slide coming next year

Got to be fake right? Don't companies usually rent the construction equipment locally? Never heard of the product designer's name being on the crane.

perhaps... but here is a story showing an RMC truck brought to a site...

"Goliath is a Rocky Mountain Construction design and RMC brought their crane all the way from Idaho to build Goliath. It's working hard in the Chicago winter weather."

RMC does have trucks because they are actually first and foremost a construction company. Their trucks are usually spotted in places where they're working.

And even if this were fake anyone who doesn't believe RMC is working at CP can think what they want, but it is happening.

Also, Jonathan, RMC isn't the product designer. Ride Centerline typically is. RMC is a construction company (they built El Toro) and a metal fabricator.

I should point out the pic wasn't taken by CP or posted by them.

I trust the source that pointed it the pic out. So should you all. ;-)

But the big question... 2017 or 2018?

That is what I assumed but I hoped with such early work, we may be surprised. Can't wait for my first trip to CP in 2018!

Is it because they want to get all the kinks worked out since they're working with a new company? Or because they're drastically changing the size/layout?
