A brown splotch on the animation is proof of a drop track yet the renderings, both still and animated that clearly show the shed buildings are open below are discounted as maybe being inaccurate.  I am surprised some of you are not still taking about the reverse launch that defys physics.

Looking at the webcam, I have to hand it to the workers.  Putting up or adjusting the chain on the lift hill, they walk around as if they were on the ground.  Meanwhile, trees sway in the high winds. 

Watched the behind the scene's video from Fox 19 Now, can't wait for Mystic Timbers!  Its on Robert Guaderrama Facebook page.

Don said on the Facebook Live video that it's going to separate Mystic Timbers from any wooden roller coaster...

So what has not been done on a wooden roller coaster before? (Other than a Drop track, do not mention Drop Track, it's not happening.)

Not only that. No one has STILL correctly guessed what is in the shed.

I don't think anyone has had a shed full of people who pummel riders with water balloons on a wooden roller coaster before.

So, that's still on the table. 

^ Shhh.. don't tell ohiocolts.

I'm telling OhioColts.

How do you know if what people have guessed is correct or not? Do YOU know for sure?

I feel like "it's going to separate Mystic Timbers from any wooden roller coaster" is one of those ways of saying something without saying anything. Are there any other wooden coasters with some kind of show scene at the end of the ride? I can't think of any.

Having a dark ride portion at the end of a (wooden) coaster pretty much separates it from all other coasters already. [emoji14]

Because Don SAID that no one has correctly guessed.

Mamut in Tipsdrill has a show scene at the end.

Uh...about every Disney coaster and a few Universal Studios coasters have dark ride-esque sections.  

It's the world's first Tom&Chee coaster. The shed is just the drive through for picking up the food. JK. 

But when did he say no one has guessed correctly? It could be a viewing experience where drop down screens project different viewing experiences for each car.

True a lot of coasters do have dark ride sections at the end of the ride.. but how many of them are wood coasters?

Watch the video. Don clearly says that no one has guessed correctly what's in the shed. I know I'm stumped. It seems like just about everything has been guessed. 

I'm intrigued by height of first shed building. Could prop vines drop from walls and ceiling and interact with riders similar to what was done by a Disney for extraTERRORestrial attraction?

Okay, those blueprints were a big hint. There were squares on the diagram, indicating that something important was indicated on the construction blueprint. I researched some symbols for diagrams and found squares indicated valves. I later found that a filled in square indicated a hydraulic valve. It makes sense for two separate systems for the shed. One is for the doors, another is for a prop. Hydraulics could be used to extend an object (let's say a vine, this is MT we are talking about). Synchronize it with motions with drive tires, you could make a scene where the vines are pulling the car back. GCI has used sound effects on rides (Apocalypse) so a synchronized tire screech sound effect could simulate escaping from the vines.

A little bit better close up  of second room at #whatsintheshed twitter.

For some reason now I'm imaging a bunch of these lined on either side of the track.

Just saw a POV and it looks like it was designed in or inspired by RCT3 because it has a lot of those "overbanked turn" type of elements as available for RCT3 Gigas. However, that wave element going into the tunnel dive starting at 1:46-1:48 (plus the tunnel itself) of this POV (see below) looks incredible!

 

 

a life size Don will be there and you can poke him and he will laugh.

 

Well since the train is themed after an old pick-up. perhaps the shed is like a mechanic's garage of some sort. We also know from the construction dwgs that there are 440 bents total i do believe.

Forgot to add info first time.

Don't forget the ride is themed to a lumber company that is being taken over by vine overgrowth like medusa as nature takes back it's land. (Info from the press release announcing the ride).

I think I counted 513 when I attempted to do the count. Not exactly sure on that number though.

Well, hydraulic markers were placed in the location of the shed at the time all of the initial markings were placed.

Holy video, Batman! Seriously, that video is nearly three full screens in height on my 1080p display.

It's probably a vertical 16:9 like most smart phones
