Construction Update March 2nd, 2005!

Well the time is almost at hand. They are preparing the final sections of the big drop. Looks like only a few more sections of track and supports and the main drop will be done. The crest of the drop arrived for installation while I was there. Lots of other bolt tightening and touch up painting is happening today. Work on the station house is progressing along also.

Looks like the next day or so the main drop will be completed. They have started to erect the remaining lift hill supports and looks like the last few sections of the drop are ready to be installed. Lots of track parts and support columns were everywhere.

Today I stopped by the park and well we have a completed main drop. The ride is huge and can be seen from just about all over the park. Lots of finish work is happening with the theming as you can see lots of detailed work. The tunnel and splash area is starting to take shape and looks like more work on the station house and maintenance building.
