Anyone else unable to see the webcams today?

[KingRCT3]

I can see it right now. They are testing out the light at the top of the lift, and all the supports for the first turn are up:

Looking good already. I've been wanting to get back up to CW to ride Leviathan, but the more and more I see Fury's progress, I much rather ride Fury... it just looks like its going to be SOOO much better.

[TyRush]

Can't wait to see the construction of the new entrance once they get to that portion of the layout.

[JohnTheriault]

i just zoomed on the picture of the first drop and looked at the difference between the car and the drop, ITS HIGH AS GOD DAMN SHIT

[MrSum1_55]

Well, this is looking pretty monstrous. If they are going to market this in the South, they should describe how much closer to heaven you are going to get.

Looks like my prediction was right! the turns almost complete! probabily one or two more sections track left

[Sharman19]

They have Fury 325 on the Thrill Rides list in case you're interested. Clicky

[Keetz]

I can't wait to see how cedar fair implements the hornet theme. I'm praying for a tunnel at the bottom of the drop filled with mist and hornets so we can really feel the sting and fury.

That's great! Now they need to add it to Fast Lane Plus and I'll be ready to buy my online single day tickets and Fast Lane Plus at the same time.

Yeah that would really complete the experience for sure.

[cfc]

I'm sure hornets will be nesting at the top of ride soon enough.

[Sharman19]

Another place they should put the hornets is the top of the lift, then you feel the sting and suffer through the entire ride!

 

Imagine the riders reaction when the ride op says "Welcome back, riders! How was your ride?"

[nicman]

Wow! They did a lot of work today:

Kind of like Sheikra, then.

[nicman]

Looks like they have more track in place:

[Brassinthegrass]

I love this light green under the track... I really hope more parks see how great this can look and do this as well!

 

Not a surprise that the track close to the ground is going up quick, but I'm still surprised HOW quick!

[BDG]

Camera 2 is the one to follow now.

Nice day of track laying!

 

[Paradox]

They're moving pretty fast, this could be Thunderbird all over again

[rcjp]

Those low turns should be pretty fast! The element I'm looking forward to the most, however, is the funky 91 degrees turnaround.

[ThemeParkJunkie51290]

I have strong hope that this coaster will be done by opening weekend!

Yeah, no kidding - in the past week they have really done a ton of work. If they continue at this pace, it will *for sure* be open by March.
