On the live stream now...it appears the piece has been removed...

[glucky11801]

Maybe just a test fit? So maybe the rumors about Friday are true. Wouldn't want a snafu in front of the media!

[DJeXeL]

2 people standing at end of brake run cat walk but still no track in place...

[Brassinthegrass]

^^ your probably right... I thought it was odd the track had no flag or anything on it...

 

Oh well, in my in my mind it's finished! Now let's watch the entrance take shape! that long video a few pages back said they did a bunch of changes since that video was created!

[nicman]

^I am still holding my breath though! I can't wait to ride it, it will probably be my favorite coaster.

[VF15]

So, why are they waiting until (I assume) tomorrow to put the last piece of track in? They were very close to doing it earlier, and I can't see why they'd want to put it off now.

They're having media on Friday. They were probably test fitting today in case the track piece had issues.

▲That explains it, I got so excited though, when do you think they will start testing Fury325?

[DanTheBooker]

Testing is probably still a month away yet. Keep in mind that just because the steel work is done doesn't mean all the work is done. You still have other items that need to be completed.

[rcjp]

^Such as the world's longest lift chain! (assuming they haven't started yet)

[drummermattk]

^^ and electrical work and trains on storage tracks ectc

[grsupercity]

and the bins so that quests can enjoy there ride without holding there crap

 

I remember watching the building of Tatsu and I couldn't believe all the wiring they did on that ride. These modern day coasters are marvels of engineering!

[jynx242]

I remember a walk back of Intimidator 232 at Coaster Stock a few years ago and the sheer volume of computers and wiring kind of blew me away. I knew there was a lot, but I never knew how much.

 

That being said - I do commend them for seriously hauling butt in getting the track up so quickly.

[FaithPlus1]

Fury may be traveling at 55mph at the bottom of the last bunny hop, but there's no way it'll still be going that fast once it climbs up and reaches the brakes.

 

And you know this because...

[nicman]

One piece left...

[DJeXeL]

^This was established yesterday.....

[glucky11801]

It's really great that they zoomed the camera in for us to see the finish tomorrow!

[cwgator]

There won't be any bins for this in the station. There will be lockers outside of the queue entrance.

Laws of gravity and inertia?

[willthegolfer]

That would be some very strong airtime if it crested the hill and leveled off at 55 mph. Probably is from the bottom of the hill.

[VF15]

Done.

[nicman]

^FINALLY

 

[ThemeParkJunkie51290]

Yes! It's finally complete!
