New construction markings?

Track started coming in for Dragster on August 21, 2002. Construction began shortly after. Keep in mind that Dragster was the tallest and fastest coaster in the world. I'm not expecting CP to build the tallest and fastest in the world for a few years now, and even if they were, construction would have already begun...big time.

... and footers for Dragster were poured in the 2001/2002 offseason.

Sorry kids you can rule out your 500 ft, underwater, half-floorless, half inverted, spinning coaster.

You forgot dueling flyers called "Cops and Robbers," that intertwines with White Water Landing and the WWL boats have squirt guns so they can shoot at the robbers.

Ya know what would be cool? If they put those huge spider things and cobwebs on TTD. A spider could be like 25 feet all ways.

Wouldn't be sad that if everyone was getting excited about these "constuction markings" if it just turns out to be a staging area for the screamster or props for Hallowed weekends?


Shoot the rapids, tame and dry. Thunder Canyon, wet and laughter. Snake River Falls, soaked and smiling. White Water Landing and the old shoot the rapids, Fun and missed.

Of course bholcomb and I know everything. They don't hide anything from the seasonals.

Haha, I made it my personal goal to find out what the plans were going to be for next year before I left. Was I successful? Now that's something only I know the answer to...

Heres a quote from todays August results.

Capital expenditure plans at the Partnership’s other parks for next season are in the process of being finalized and will be announced over the next month or two.

So this year sounds like we won't be waiting until January to find out.
