glouthan Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 6:58, and the construction crew is still working on the dive loop. They must be working hard trying to get this open for us on Memorial Day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glouthan Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 It's nice to see the coaster from a different angle to capture the size of this ride. Glad to hear the lift structures are on site...I wonder when they will start constructing the lift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark549 Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Nice images in today's update. The banner is worth noting: coming summer 2014. It looks like they still have a lot on their "to do" list to open for public rides on Memorial Day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like they still have a lot on their "to do" list to open for public rides on Memorial Day. That banner has been up on the station since September. It probably was just a fail safe in case there were delays but it is currently due to open on Memorial Day weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It probably was just a fail safe in case there were delays but it is currently due to open on Memorial Day weekend. And also keep in mind that Memorial Day is basically the unofficial start of summer (which is why the water park and most public pools open then). It's still two months away, I doubt there will be any issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Turbo Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 It looks they are working on the bents that are directly after the steel portion of the lift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilrider Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 ^ I believe that is part of the zero G stall element. There is some wood framing the track passes through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoBears Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 ^ I believe that is part of the zero G stall element. There is some wood framing the track passes through. I think it's the wooden structure at the end of the zero-G stall that leads the track down into the tunnel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoBears Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 ^That's what it looked like to me too. It also appears that it might be the same wooden structure for the bottom of the first drop too. The wooden bents for the bottom of the zero-G stall and first drop before the tunnel look connected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rcjp Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 ^That's the way to do it. When is the construction itself expected to be finished? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoBears Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 ^That's the way to do it. When is the construction itself expected to be finished? There's not an official timeline other than the ride opening May 24th. I would imagine the structure would be finished by the end of this month so testing for the ride can begin in early May.

Intaman Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 I'm sure the constructions crews are thrilled that they can finally feeling their fingers while they work. This is looking fantastic. Can't wait for it to open next month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
