Actually, he might be on to something. Perhaps the latest clues about the cracked mast have something to do with the cracked tree of the SFMM incident. Perhaps the original plan of having the ride travel through a wooded area is being rethought. Or at least the amount and proximity of trees to be planted near the ride. The timing of the clues, and the fact that they are written day by day seem to match up. Certainly the incident has made every park take a closer look at their own tree situation.
Just a thought.

I doubt Holiday World would comment on such an issue, however all of their coasters run through wooded areas and they're still standing.

Here's some stuff.

It's nice to know Will's vision for Holiday World is still thriving to this day. Sure there's been a few bumps in the road, but it's nice to see the land on the horizon, and that the park is in good hands. Just a few more days til the announcement, can't wait.
From the Evansville Courier & Press (at Paula's direction):
"Holiday World & Splashin’ Safari is also posed next week to announce a $22 million ride project — the largest single ride investment in the park’s 68-year history."
This confirms what many suspected from the construction site - a substantial steel coaster project nearing the level of Diamondback/Gatekeeper/Banshee.
Pretty exciting stuff!

$22 Million?! The Voyage was $6.5 Million and it is hands down incredible.
Then if my math is correct, this should be 3.38 times as good!
Considering all the talk of it being Unique, first of it's kind, etc. Could it possibly be B&M's first launching coaster, that's not The Hulk? Guess we'll find out Friday. I'll be there Monday to enjoy the day, and Thursday and Friday to get some photos/video of the announcement/displays. Any requests and I'll be glad to take them.
We'll know exactly how great it is once we see the renderings. ;)
