Can't wait to see this with my own two eyes Sunday.

I'm going this weekend again too, I'm pumped!

They have been blessed with great weather for a construction project like this.

I most definatly will take a picture. Then try this flicker thing. The best view is atop PK's corner before final drop, no pics from up there though!

More stuff from up the grape vine:

The station is truly going vertical now an starting to take shape. Like Swoosh mentioned earlier, the lift is done along with the bit between it and the station, but it doesn't look like they've actually started on the drop yet. It looks like it might do a small turn before dropping.

I haven't seen any photos yet, so my interest is pretty piqued. I really want to see how tall that lift is, and how it crosses over the tracks. I've heard the lift is the new tallest point in the park? Isn't WF's lift like 120ft? Maybe it just looks that way, or the elevations are different.

OK. i heard today from an inside source

, the drop will be over 160 feet for sure.. Thats more than the new screaming eagle!

Sounds like it's going to be fast. I can't wait to ride it.

Swoosh · May 18, 2012, 08:25:35 PM

Have lots of photos. Will try to get them online tomorrow

Looking forward to them Swoosh. Thanks for all the updates!

my sister was at the park yesterday she said that a lot of work has been done and that the station looks almost complete already! As far as she's concerned she says it can't be long till they start going vertical back farther into the woods all I know is I can't wait to go in a couple of weeks and take a look myself

Gilligan · May 19, 2012, 02:29:10 PM

I can't wait to stand on the outside and watch!

Looking forward to the pictures Swoosh!!! Sounds like SDC is doing this one right. I'm sad we won't be able to make it down to our beloved city this year. I'll have to rely on you all to keep up with all things SDC.

^^Thanks for sharing the pics, Swoosh. Exciting to see the continued progress. Getting more anxious to see track going up in the woods now.
