Rocky Mountain Construction also does Skycoaster installation and water park construction. Both of which Cedar Point is currently doing.

Wouldn't that just drive everybody nuts if the whole off season the peninsula is crawling with RMC crews but no announcement about Frontier Town?

As far as Skycoaster, the only one mentioned on their website is a different style....not to mention Ripcord at CP is on the ground in pieces for the move to wherever it's going. However, the crane wasn't on property from what I could tell prior to the end of Sunday night. 

 

As far as the Waterpark...maybe? 

Doesn't Cedar Fair partner with Adena Corporation for a majority of their installations? 

Adena or M&V are the two names I see most.

Appears to be in the infield of MS, facing the 2nd turn and entrance to mcbr.

Can I ask where you got that?

What is up with the shadow under the truck, a phantom light pole?

^ Most likely the stabilizer arm on the other side of the crane.

It was posted on Facebook and on Pointbuzz. The original source was not mentioned.

So apparently the Mean Streak station is all ready gutted and the track is gone. https://instagram.com/p/BKt6_-mgIHS/

Does anyone recall what the timeline was like when NTAG was done, like when SFoT announced it's closure, when they announced the RMC refurb, etc?  Considering Mean Streak is slightly bigger than Texas Giant, it makes sense that they'd have similar construction timelines.  

NTG I think started at the end of one season, worked through the next and opened the following. 

Mean Streak could follow the same timeline, but there are other reasons it may not..... 1) Not a full conversion/re-profile 2) this isn't RMC's first major project so they could possibly have the art/science down well enough that it may be finished in a smaller timeline.

It also looks like the supports are gone too.

Texas weather is substantially different than on the Great Lakes....

Terp, just notin'

I'm still confident the new Mean Streak will open in 2018, hopefully with a new and original name and theme. When the announcement will be is what intrigues me. Currently I'm thinking they'll wait until the park reopens in May and do it then or early June before the new layout can start being figured out by the enthusiasts.

And RMC has dramatically increased their annual capacity...

 

 

Just looking at all angles

^Pretty much no amount of added capacity can overcome winter construction conditions on Lake Erie.  

 

If a Mean Streak RMC makeover is in the works, it's gonna take a while. 

It makes a difference when you are comparing the first conversion they ever did, out of a factory significantly smaller than what they have now. Do we really think this one MUST take longer? CP hasn't had many problems getting rides constructed during the Erie winters before. They have 7 full months to get this thing running if they are looking at 2017.

Cedar Fair have been holding their cards closely on Hurler at Kings Dominion. The ride was closed for the entire season for renovations and that's about all that was said of it. No announcements on what said renovations might be or whom is doing work on the coaster. Now Meanstreak is being removed by track rather than most wooden coaster demises including Son of Beast, which was getting ripped down by cables. I find it all strange.

Red paint has been spotted on Hurler's footers. Pictures were posted over at TPR.

Mr. Hart, is that you?

Good googly moogly, now I'm picturing an all red painted woodie...

 

At least the track work on T3 looks cool.

Not wasting time...

The lowest portion of Mean Streak's lift is now gone, as well as the station, transfer and pre-lift track are gone. 

RIP* Mean Streak.

 

*Rest In Pieces

With how precise they are in taking the lift down and not tearing it down like they did with SOB, I'm comfortable in saying RMC conversion confirmed.  

Not to mention the C-channel pieces lying around, which are used on RMC coasters to attach the track to the supports. See also:

And now we wait for the announcement...

I would suspect something to come to light by the end of the season, if not, the end of the year.
