Since I got home early from work today I figured I'd take a stop by the mountain and see what was happening on the hillside.

Much to my surprise, there were markers EVERYWHERE!

Reading what is on them it seems that a lot of questions have been answered:

- Where the queue station is going to be.
- Where the overflow queue line is going to be
- Where some supports and footers are going to go
- Areas that are marked for elevation

Of course, the big question still remains "What are they constructing?" This could very well be a really large fence!

But the rumors have said it's a new coaster, and the rumors have also said that an older SFMM may be removed in the process. Most people have been speculating either Ninja or the Log Jammer, but being that there aren't markers anywhere near those two rides, and there are LOTS of markers around Orient Express and the Sky Tower, that makes me wonder even more.

I'm not going to add any fuel to the rumor fire, I figure that will be left to all of you to speculate!

But remember, all of this is JUST RUMOR, there has been NOTHING CONFIRMED, and as always, wait for the official announcement before you claim anything as "fact."

We will continue to bring you as many construction updates as possible once there is some more action. So if you want to see what's going on at SFMM for 2006, keep your browser pointed here!

That being said, onto some photos!!!

I heard Republicans love Fence: The Ride. Maybe they are building a Bush-themed ride.

[FradeHave I mentioned how awesome donkeys are?]

Fence: The Ride, the longest and tallest fence ever, lol

[arrowfanmanFire Alarm Boy!]

On some sites, these rumors are going WAY TOO FAR out of control. People are going to the Mountain, and seeing the footers and coming back on to say "yea, and the ride will do this, and this, and this."

I have been going every week now, and have never seen anything to indicate anysort of a layout.

I think that the Oriental Express will be removed, as it will cost much more to take down the other things. We all know how well SFMM preps for a coaster. Look at Scream!

^ Yeah, that's kind of why I took the more comical approach.

We know they are building something, we know there will be a queue, but anything more than that, and I might as well speculate the height and speed of Fence: The Ride!

On a side note, the "Fence: The Ride" thing comes from many many years ago, before Oblivion was built, someone posted photos of new footers at Alton Towers. They claimed to be for a new coaster, and they turned out to be for a fence!

I hope it is a B&M of some sort!

I have never been on a flying coaster, so that would be nice. BTW, Robb, do you remember what I said at Beach, B&Ms and BBQ? "Maybe SFMM will put some giant freefall in place of the old Sky Tower". I hope the markers on the hill are for a coaster, and the markers by the Sky Tower are for a drop ride.

I am looking forward to the next update.

Antonio" Thanks Robb!" G.

Q building the ride... enjoy air conditioner , a cool drink, and best of all.. u can pretend to be waiting for a coaster!!.... This will be a record breaking ride.. for the longest waste of time ever!!... that will be a great credit...

Hey, it could always be South Park's "The Line Ride" as I've seen many Q Walk markers.

^ LOL! That's what I was thinking too!

--Robb "The line ride rules!" Alvey

for the longest waste of time ever!!... that will be a great credit...

sounds like my kind of ride. *points at avatar*

can I start a rumor that it might be a hyper log ride?
