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!
Iron Shark Topped Off!
Could be a fun place to work
Workers were all over the pier until dark on Saturday - St. Patrick's Day
Nerd Shot for the ride construction groupies
Yup it is a pier!

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