CP pours foundations visible from a public area for what has to be an impulse coaster, but still hasn't made an announcement.
SFNE puts plans for their new coaster on the wall of a construnction trailer where they are visible through a window from what is apparently a public area. I think they already had announced the coaster by then though.
PKI hasn't announced what Tomb Raider is, but they allow enthusiasts to tour the construction site and take photos. And, those footers leave only a limited number of possibilites for what the ride is.
All photos and blueprints have been obtained by other means.

The roughest part of a B&M is having to get off.
The indoor photos at PKIGuide were sent to me anonymously, and I can guarantee you that they weren't taken on a "tour." The fact that they showed absolutely nothing about the ride itself and only the inside of a steel framed building is what made me feel that publishing them was reasonable. If they had shown parts for a Giant Top-Spin half assembled, that would have been a different story. I would like to have a reasonable relationship with PKI in the future, and posting what Screamscape posted puts those types of relationships in jeopardy.
But maybe he doesn't want that credibility - it's his choice. I just disagree with it.
Intrigue would draw me to the park. But any release of information that attempted to belittle the ride may thwart my interest in attending.

Now the topic has actually evolved into a discussion about Screamscape's decision to publish their information. On this front, I'd have to say that Screamscape has definitely jeopardized their relationship with PKI...but if it was REALLY important to keep it secret, then someone/everyone at PKI has to do a better job of keeping it secret. (I'm not as sure about this, since, as Shaggy mentioned before, the only "bad" publicity really is NO publicity)...maybe that was PT Barnum instead of Shaggy....not really sure, LOL!
