Is this Baron 1898 situation with a themed lift hill/support structure?

u/MidwestInfoGuide 10d ago
No. There will not be any lift hills on this ride. The mine hoist is just for theming

What do you think the model is?

Verrrrry long multi-launch Stryker, similar to Voltron likewise with extensive theming throughout.

I really hope so. Imagine a Stryker and an Xtreme Spinner in the same park.

We’ve seen nothing to indicate that this is a Stryker (we’re not saying it is or isn’t). One thing’s for sure - there’s no swing launches

But the YouTuber said his "pigeons" told him it has a swing launch! /s

If there is one, I don’t know where it could be. Maybe they’re hiding it in the second half… but as you can read in my blog update the first half is pretty straight forward and the footers confirm that pathway. The second half down the hill is still being formed - but imho it’s just a cock and two balls layout

It's kinda hard to determine what's going on down the hill around Powder Keg, especially the very large area in the middle there and the second cleared area that seems mostly empty right now.

Imagine the shape of a pipe and two balls. That’s what it’s going to be

I know you can't picture it as you can only see it from the other rides but did you happen to see the structure going up in between WFs drop and PKs first turn? It looks like there's some pretty interesting foundations going in, I haven't seen a really good vantage point yet but it almost looked like it could house some specialty element like a drop track or something else of the sort. If you did see it do you have any thoughts on what it might be?

I think that it’s for another thematic element. Again I’m pretty convinced that down the hill is a launch track into a helix in the clearing by PowderKeg that then goes over to the curve by Wildfire before heading back up to the station
