Well China is expecting 3 Wing riders. So those could be for that. If anything I think our track may be produced over the spring or summer before phase 2 of construction on our coaster starts.

 

Plus there is that Invert going to Gröna Lund, but that doesnt open until 2020, so maybe their track won't be produced until after ours?

Well.... look how many B&M Coasters are under construction, so really, it can be for anyone

[CedarFair1]

mini update.

 

Footers are now being dug for the Vortex side. Digging for the tunnel continues and the size of the tunnel grows.

 

The track on site is 10 bolts by 10 bolts which is actually larger then Valravn by a bit.

I know these are supposed to be construction pics, but it's hard to concentrate on that when I keep getting distracted by those sexy Behemoth humps.

I'm glad I'm not the only one!

Love that the wave pool in splashworks is filled with snow! Pretty sure that could be turned into an attraction!!

Check out my Instagram for photos from today and previous days on construction.

 

Parking lot has some construction activity in it now, and lots of work on the 2019 coaster!

It's really hard to make out the tunnel right now. Loving the photo updates! I'd post them here also, instead of just on Instagram, as we can see them in their full quality here instead of compressed smaller sizes on Instagram.

[WonderlandMan]

Pictures of the track show that it appears to be massive (potentially larger than that of a dive coaster) and the spine is almost triangular. Could this be a new type of coaster out of B&M? Or less material in a way to cut cost?

The instagram page is down, and no posts on here in a while. Someone get in trouble?

Brandon just had a Youtube video yesterday and he made no mention of getting into legal issues. Though there was also no mention of the instagram account getting deleted either. Good question.

Hotel Starting

[ThemeParkJunkie51290]

^ THIS . . . IS . . . GREAT . . . NEWS!!! 2019 is going to be another major coaster year!!!

[Sledgehammer_77]

Maybe that line of tree's plays a key role into where the station is. There's a reason why they're staying while everything else is gone.

I'm happy they're ripping up the pathway by the water park, hopefully the new design will make everything seem more connected with the rest of the park. That's one thing about Skyrider, it never felt like it was close to the dry park because of the forest trail of nothing on the left and No other rides or attractions on the east for another 5 minute walk.

CedarFair1, that photo you posted of hotel construction looks like a typical borehole drill that is used to take soil samples well before a design has even begun. The mechanical properties of the soil are needed to design foundations for whatever structure is going to be built. It is way too early to speculate whether something will be built on that plot of land in the near future at all, let alone a hotel. Your enthusiasm over all the construction progress is great, but I think you should be a little careful about stating things as facts when there is not enough information available.

Incorrect, as of today I can see what it was doing. It's installing metal posts marking what looks like a perimeter in the area. theres a metal post and orange markers next tot he post along with yellow. Yesterday I thought it was what you described but it's drilling holes for metal poles.

But in a field that hasn't been graded or prepped?

[Sledgehammer_77]

My vote is for a much much larger sign coning in. One that will really wow drivers.

What wows me as a driver is when i can see the lift hills of Behemoth and Leviathan from 2-3 interchanges down Hwy 400! It will be interesting to see how the lift hill of the new coaster fits in with the rest of the skyline.

[Sledgehammer_77]

I agree with the coaster Skyline, but I also think it would help to have a very in your face sign that gets you pumped. Me a miniature Wonderland Skyline picture or a 3d style billboard of a coaster jumping our at you.

 

The one they have right now is kind of small and if Dinos leave, so does the trex. If they upgrade the enterance for the 2019 season, maybe they'll do the highway sign as well.

Massive Update from today with zoomed in pictures and analysis!

 

[Sledgehammer_77]

Brandon, if they're removing all of those trees on the side of the pathway do you think there is a possibility for the coaster going through there? Especially considering the que line has been realigned. If it is getting this large then I could see it going all the way. It maybe there last "mega coaster" and their largest to date.
