Wow they are going crazy with track work again. The trench track has been installed over the past few days and more track from the trench toward and over the walkway has been installed. They have a lot of track and supports ready to be to go in the next few days. More theme work is happening around the station area and second launch trench. The ride is looking very impressive.

The trench and tunnel area for the drop off the tower has been getting lots of work and look to finish the concrete pours soon. Wont be long for track work to be finished. Lots of finish theme work is happening all around the station and Cheetah enclosures.
