Here are a footers over by Wildfire's maintenance building.  These will eventually be part of Miner's Mountain Express where the train heads back to the station for the flythrough.



This huge batch of footers are for the first lift hill which will take you up ninety-seven feet high before sending you on a spiraling first drop.



As excited as I am about getting a new coaster at one of my favorite parks I'm really excited how this area will be radically changed for 2027.  Hopefully with Powder Keg and Wildfire no longer at dead ends in the back corner of the park they too will see more attention.



While Miner's Mountain Express has been billed as "America's most legendary family coaster" looking at the layout it is absolutely not going to be a tame and boring family coaster.



Just take airtime.  Most family coasters might have a handful moments of airtime while Miner's Mountain Express is going to have fifteen moments of airtime.  Miner's Mountain Express will have more moments of airtime than any coaster in the park.
