 Construction Update February 21st, 2009!
The lift hill supports have begun to rise again this week. Lots of structural steel work for the station house and maintenance building is happening. The front half of the coaster is moving along with final footer pours and exit stairs going in.

Lots of new stuff to see this week, with the lift hill supports getting topped off and lots of station work getting done. The bottom section of the none inverting loop have gone in and other track has gone up as well.

 Construction Update March 11th, 2009!
The non inverting loop has been completed. Its an interesting and unique element for a roller coaster. Not much to go now just the main drop, a few other connectors and the track up the lift hill is yet to be installed.

 Construction Update March 15th, 2009!
More station work has taken place in the last few days as you can start to see the shape of the outside of the station. Track has started up the main drop as it approaches the top of the lift hill. Looks like there are a few spots around the ride that needed a little modification.
