You know I'm not completely sure, I think the tunnel wall rides are but that rollercoaster thingy is on the new No joke.

I'm pretty sure I saw the remains of the final blue Kokanee feature from Crankworx up top on a new section of trail that hasn't been opened yet too.

The roller coaster is on No Joke. The tunnel, and the wood berm and drop at the end of it, are at the bottom of the new middle section where NJ and FT merge.

Just below the road crossing with the step up on FT, there is a new jump series below the bypass road that leads to the Kokanee jump: looks like the middle section of FT will be a lot of fun next year. I'm hoping they put something in to the common section below those rollers as currently it's sort of a boring series of switchbacks to work your way down to the lift station where NoJoke and Freight diverge again.

Next season is gonna be so sick! But I do wonder...

all of that stuff coming out of the tunnel will have to be dismantled for winter am I right?

New woodwork looks really good.....Whistler could use a couple of wallrides like the big one on WC at Silverstar

I loooooove the SS wallrides...they are so well done, Whis and Sun Peaks need to take notes, they have a lot of great features on all mountains and the bike park peeps do great work on all three mountains but seriously...the silver star wall rides kill it!!

OK I'm sorry I did one garbo lap but it was mega crappy up there and i didn't want to pull out the camera and get it covered in crap.

I did notice that the red SRAM sattelite dishes from the slopestyle course have migrated a lot higher up the mountain however so thats something else to look forward to next year.

Understandable.. I guess I just have to wait to see it for myself next year:rocker:
