KIfan73 Posted August 2, 2016 Posted August 2, 2016 I saw these stakes while walking through DA yesterday... 14
Oldschool75 Posted August 2, 2016 Posted August 2, 2016 That would be for proje.....oh wait, just ignore those stakes. Move along move along Sent from my iOS 10 device 9
Imperial79 Posted August 2, 2016 Posted August 2, 2016 Oh wow, I wonder what that's for? Maybe they are expanding DA? hmm 3
Magenta Lizard Posted August 2, 2016 Posted August 2, 2016 What part of DA? Maybe they're going to bring through plumbing for X-Base restrooms! 11
King Ding Dong Posted August 2, 2016 Posted August 2, 2016 Oh crap, cue up the MS relocation threads. 2
OleShawn Posted August 2, 2016 Posted August 2, 2016 kinda symbolic that the first pics of Mystic Timbers is of cutting trees. 5
RollerNut Posted August 2, 2016 Posted August 2, 2016 Forgot to mention, I saw this last night. They've begun spraying what appears to be the layout onto the ground. Assuming they continue, it should give a very good idea of how the final ride will lie in the area, especially when viewed from Diamondback. Won't be able to get pics of that of course. Hmm, I wonder if they will use the slab style like they used in places are CGA. 5
King Ding Dong Posted August 2, 2016 Posted August 2, 2016 Oh wow, I wonder what that's for? Maybe they are expanding DA? hmm Maybe adding an Ark to complete the encounter. 7
KIfan73 Posted August 2, 2016 Posted August 2, 2016 What part of DA? Maybe they're going to bring through plumbing for X-Base restrooms! It was fairly soon after the entrance. 1
Flight Deck'd Posted August 2, 2016 Posted August 2, 2016 KI fan, did you get a look at what the writing was on the stakes? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 3
KIfan73 Posted August 2, 2016 Posted August 2, 2016 as best as I can see it: "3 OFF E/P II MEET (some circular symbol) GRD II" 3
Flight Deck'd Posted August 2, 2016 Posted August 2, 2016 as best as I can see it: "3 OFF E/P II MEET (some circular symbol) GRD II" Sounds like a sidewalk. The stake is 3' off edge of pavement and will be at grade...best I can tell.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 5
King Ding Dong Posted August 2, 2016 Posted August 2, 2016 as best as I can see it: "3 OFF E/P II MEET (some circular symbol) GRD II" With some bar napkin math that comes out to roughly 300 cubits. 4
gforce1994 Posted August 3, 2016 Posted August 3, 2016 A bit off topic, but I noticed something with the animations. On the off ride animation for Mystic Timbers, on the shot of the car going over the lift, The Beast's helix tunnels are missing. I'm wondering if that was an error in the animation. Thoughts? 3
FlyMartyFly Posted August 3, 2016 Posted August 3, 2016 Adam House of GCI interview about construction progress and other tidbits about Mystic Timbers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=awxw2Gvg2eY Excellent interview, very educational and I thoroughly enjoyed it! Can't wait for more. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk 4

Not much need to animate the entire park. 5
GamesAndRides Posted August 3, 2016 Posted August 3, 2016 From a quick google seach, Orange Stakes mean that there is lines/cable underground there. 2
MaestroJr Posted August 3, 2016 Posted August 3, 2016 Excited as well for a new woodie! That's what she said..... You got me on that one, I should've said something a little different,lol! 2
Magenta Lizard Posted August 3, 2016 Posted August 3, 2016 We should probably move discussion of the stakes in Dinosaurs Alive over to the Decoding 2.5 topic. I think it is pretty fair to assume that it is not directly related to Mystic Timbers construction. It very well might be related to the second announcement though. 9
Diamondback FOF Posted August 3, 2016 Posted August 3, 2016 From a quick google seach, Orange Stakes mean that there is lines/cable underground there. While orange spray paint on the ground can often mean the presence of communication lines or other conduit underground, orange flagging on a stake doesn't necessarily mean that. Orange is a common color to use for the flagging on survey stakes since it's bright and stands out. The stakes are used for a variety of things: marking reference points, layouts, valve locations, etc. The flagging on a stake doesn't always indicate what the stake is marking. 3
stashua123 Posted August 3, 2016 Author Posted August 3, 2016 Leaving the park after a quick visit. Had a great time! Got some pictures of the ongoing construction of Mystic Timbers! 19
TheBEASTunchained Posted August 3, 2016 Posted August 3, 2016 I'd expect footings to start showing up sooner than later in certain areas based on a few of those photos! Time to start getting Mysty put together! 6
King Ding Dong Posted August 3, 2016 Posted August 3, 2016 I'd expect footings to start showing up sooner than later in certain areas based on a few of those photos! Time to start getting Embers put together! Fixed that. 7
SonODiamondback Posted August 3, 2016 Posted August 3, 2016 Great Photos! Funny thething I'm more curious about is the retaining wall and how it's going to look when finished . Is the wall that's there going to be permanent ? Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk 2
Magenta Lizard Posted August 3, 2016 Posted August 3, 2016 Pretty sure it will be permanent, yes. It defines the new maintenance road that seems to be going through there. 5
CP Maverick Posted August 3, 2016 Posted August 3, 2016 They want easy access to the maintenance shed and lift hill. As an added bonus, construction materials can come through easier as well. 5
SonODiamondback Posted August 3, 2016 Posted August 3, 2016 Yeah I get that I was wondering if they are going to build a brink wall or use lumber. I can't see them just using what they have right now. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk 2
