We saw on facebook that the Iron Shark was topped off late last week so we took a quick trip to Galveston on Saturday to check out the construction progress.  The last time we saw the pier, there was a big ugly hotel on it.  Now it is nothing but concrete, steel, and tons of rides under construction.  One thing I tried to add here are a few shots that show the complete pier and the beach.  The pier fits right in on Seawall Blvd and is going to be a BIG add to Galveston.  Enjoy. 
 
Looking SW down Seawall Blvd - The Pleasure Pier fits right in with the beach!

Could be a fun place to work 
 
Workers were all over the pier until dark on Saturday - St. Patrick's Day

The whole pier looking NE up Seawall Blvd.  The ride density on the pier is going to be amazing.
