There's no delay. Construction appears to be on schedule. The official announcement should be late August or early September.

The reveal date had been announced!

hmmm. ..  this is teasing "beyond Vertical" drop.

that thermometer is showing over 100 degrees.

guess we'll see!

355 feet tall?  3 minutes 55 seconds also came to mind but that seems less likely.  2163 would be really short as far as length goes, so I'm not sure what that is.  We have a dive suit (duh), a Spanish flag (location), a bull, and the Matterhorn (the mountain, not the ride, so maybe a nod to B&M?).

the clock is upside-down. . . so the time shown on it is 9:25.

the date of the announcement

(with Jeffrey, you *always* have to look carefully, as he tosses in lots of red herrings).

The 2163 is in meters, indicating 7096 FT. The thermometer reads 103°, this could only mean one thing- drop angle! The man in the suit I'm not sure about.

Edit:  I should have realized this. The 2163 is Husain Bolts bib number from the 08 Olympics. The man in the suit is Robert Wadlow. Tallest and fastest Dive Coaster.
