Implying rust isn’t a color
I would not guarantee that one there are quite a few coaster out there that don't.
Something tells me we are going to start seeing some work done on-site pretty soon now..
That's not a yawn. That's a big deal.
Show me an approved permit with JCC. Because, until that permit is approved they're just marking things that they can't dig yet. Aside from the minor work, spade can't hit soil without that permit.
Technically they can dig. Landscaping. You call 811 to have everything marked, they mark it. Doesn't mean you can't dig. Just means you can't start pouring cement and putting in footers. And none of that has arrived yet.
Also depending on the scope of the markings and we can see the real scope of the issue.
Most of the work for the stables relocation probably wouldn't require permits as most of that is landscaping and moving electrical. Both of which, as I understand it, they wouldn't need permitting for.
Would they need permitting if they are just moving the structures from the other pastures? My guess would be no.
Also would they need permits to build a fence around the new pasture? My gut says no but I am not an expert.
If all of that doesn't need a permit then they can effectively build all of the new pastures without needing to file permits. And we won't see any work on the actual ride until they have moved the pastures.

It's nearly impossible that they won't get the permit. Permits are generally just red tape. Local government's way of ensuring they wear the pants and have some say in how things look.
It's a choreographed dance. If you've been following the process thus far; the permit goes to about 12 departments for review. One department came back and said they were too vague with the height. So bgw had to resubmit with more info. Another department wants info about color so they can ensure it won't look ugly in the county skyline. Each cycle of addendum/modification takes time. Hence all the delays.
Typically though most of the work on BGWs coasters have occurred from the September to March time frame. So unless permits aren't approved by then I don't think we are looking at the ride being delayed.
That being said the county isn't really interested in denying BGW a ride. They just want to make sure that all the proper procedures are followed and everything is up to code.

For those of you on the newer end of the spectrum here at the forums (welcome!) - these seemingly boring permits are some of the most exciting indications that things are moving along. Every BGW coaster I have followed from concept to construction has kept this form: paperwork regarding flags and markings, utilities/fiber optics/gas, denials, approvals and revisions, then dirt moves and trees start coming down (eventually). The little stuff that you need before cement trucks and dozers are brought on site is what we are seeing, and is always awesome IMO.
