Construction Update February 6th, 2005!
 Wow things sure do change alot over the course of a few days. Several more sections of track have been added over the last couple days. Track has been installed at the end of the water section that leads up and over what will be the final brake run. Another section of track has been added on the turn around at the top of the lift hill. 
Construction Update February 11th, 2005!
 Today it appears they have moved over to where track and supports will get installed for the immelmann. It looks like they have installed railings on the lift hill. Several sections of track are getting read  for installation. Seems that Busch has had a change in construction companies doing the build. One section of track has been removed from the top of the lift as it seems they got a head of themselves. Work is moving along a fast pace with the new company.

 Today it appears we have a few more supports and sections of track being installed in the immelmann. Alot more work getting done in the general area of the ride. The ride is starting to take shape as about half of the ride seems to be installed. More track getting ready for installation and lots more work getting done in the station area of SheiKra.

 These guys are really moving along now. Most of the immelmann has been erected and wow does it look awesome. Several more supports have been added that will tack the track around the station area. Alot of work has been to to finalize track installation such as bolt tightening and adding of railings and other stuff on the ride.

The carousel turn has been completed and now work is moving forward to the mid brake run and the second main drop. Track has also been installed from the tunnel area up to where it will meet the mid brake. The ride is looking amazing as it appears about 3/4's of the way done.

The second big drop is complete as track has been installed for the drop. A lot of work has been done on the station house supports which are wood. More bolt tightening on all sections installed and looks like another section of the big drop has been installed.

Some photos from outside the park. Ever wonder what people see from there front yards living next to an amusement park. It appears the final section of track before the big drop is being prepared for installation and a lot of work happening in the station area of the ride.
