Drove past the park today. Five observations I made about the proposed coaster site.
1) It looks like the creek has been pretty much drained, not a whole lot of water in it at this point. Don't know if that's typical for this time of the year or if it means construction is starting soon.
2) It looks as if a path is being constructed from Comet Hollow, under the Comet, and back into that area. I think a walking path from Comet Hollow to the park entrance would be a great idea.
3) There is a crane inside the park near the stroller rental, which, of course, is right next to the construction site.
4) A new wider double gate has been added to the park's fence along Park Blvd. I don't remember seeing it before, and it's all shiny and new. I'm assuming it will be the construction entrance for the area, as there are tire tracks all over the ground there.
5) Finally, there was a man running what looked like electric wire through the area near the dam.
It seems to me that we can expect construction to begin soon, if it hasn't already.
There's also a video/photo update here:

Looks like an interesting project to follow. I'm still betting on either a B&M Dive Machine, Wing Coaster, Flying Coaster, or Hypercoaster, or an expanded Intamin Mega Lite!
