New Lumber on Point

Real discussion about a lumber sighting? Ha! ;)

That would be like asking the French if they really did have the Holy Grail. Of course, that would only result in your mother being called a hamster and having cows flung at you from the castle walls.

Can anyone tell I miss the days of Monty Python quotes? :)

Oh, and to stay on topic, I was told by a little birdie that it was fencing for a new badminton court at Sandcastle (pun intended). *** Edited 10/2/2007 2:11:25 PM UTC by BlueStreak64***

I have a pile of lumber sitting just outside the back door of my office and no one has said one word about it, let discussed it on the internet.

Frankly, I feel a little ignored.

If it makes you feel better, I'll try and swing down there when you open up that new coaster behind your office. If you want, I may even be able to help you build it. ;)

There are several pallets of treated lumber in the Soak City lot over by the campgrounds. Looks like 2x4's and 4x4's or close. Certainly not enough to build a ride though.

Is it unusual to store general repair lumber out in the open parking lot - or is this the sign of a staging ground?

I think that you asked a legitimate question. Judging by the amount of wisdom shared, must make you wonder why you even bothered to ask. :)

It could be lumber for just about anything. But I think that lumber similar to this was stored in the same place when Skyhawk was announced and T&T later mentioned that it was destined to be used for Gemini.

If we do want to have real discussion about wood sitting around the point... did anyone notice the tarp covered piles near the Magnum pretzel later this season? That may be the wood that is now in the SC lot...

It's probably for the float barns T & T talk about in their Blog post today...

While we're discussing tarps, how long has a CCMR train been in storage in Mean Streak with the Gemini trains?

Yes there is tons and tons of tarped off wood under the Pretzel on Magnum.

Not to fuel the fire because it's probably nothing, but there was something under a black tarp along Perimeter Road behind Mean Streak Sunday night. Part of me wanted to take a picture to post here but part of me wanted to go home to bed. Bed won the battle.

^Something? Could you tell what it might have been?

Maybe they switched to black tarp this season after what happened last year with mavericks track. (Light shined through it so you could tell it was track.

It was just like a large crate. 4'x4'x4' if I had to guess a size.

I think it was a little larger in length but I could be wrong. I thought the same thing as Vince but my bed was also calling me.
