I think they just completed their multi-ride contract and have started another.
Chain parks don't just buy 1 coaster at a time...

I'm the same way. I love taking pics of contruction then looking back when the ride is built and being like I remember when this wasn't even built yet!
I dont go to carowinds. Ill wait for the rumored 10 Dollywood coaster!

One thing I've noticed about B&M's magnetic brake runs is that they take up less space horizontally. They're at a steeper angle than friction brakes. I wonder if that's got any sort of advantage to the ride.
I am out of ideas for what to write in this signature box.

It certainly takes up a lot less track length for the brake run, just look at Nitro for an example of a LONG B&M brake run, you could fit four trains on that thing.
I'm still not used to how high up and steep it is, but it's a more efficient use of space.
Most/all of the huge yellow lift supports are on site now in the staging area behind SOB, so things should be getting very interesting here soon.

Hey I was there yesterday on monday:)
On the train ride you can see a lot of the land they have cleared for the ride. Im sure the pictures online would be pretty useless, however being from california, 'cleared land' is something you dont always see when a new ride is being built! You know, cuz the land is clear anyway. Ok Im gonna go now, bye!

^I'm sorry I assumed you went there since you live in North Carolina. If you visit Dollywood then you could have followed Mystery Mine's construction last year.
