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.  
Enjoy!!!
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.
Enjoy!!!
Construction Update February 14th, 2005!
 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.
