Ok, so a portion of the circle that holds up the arms to the seats was constructed last night. And, a little interesting fact here how one of the arms is just randomly on the side where the queue line should be and is flashing its colors (red shown below).

I'm really impressed with how this thing is getting done so quick.......


EDIT: Shading has gone up for the queue line, and has this whole website just gone dry or what?

Looks like Windseeker is almost ready for testing. Looks like Intimidator started testing for today as well.

Remember those hydralic dampers that cedar point, kings island, and canada's wonderland used to keep the swings from hitting each other last year? It seems as though those arent on yet, obviously, but im sure they will later......awesome pictures!

The pavers will be a nice change, however I am wondering about trees. I miss the days when Goldrusher seemed more hidden from the rest of the park except for Vortex.

However, that may be a nice touch for a park. I would sacrifice a few trees for more thrill rides and coasters.

Why though? You shouldn't have to. Plenty of parks have thrill rides, and trees. The park already is in bad need of shade, and they are taking out trees in the one spot that the park actually has trees!? Not a fan.

[cwgator]

At least there is artificial shade for the queue....lol I want trees back around the park tho.

[chunkyskunk]

Love, love the pavers but I do agree. I would love to see more trees and more water. The park had tons of water in the 70's and it slowly keeps slipping away.

This.

Hell, Dollywood has tons of trees left around Wild Eagle and I still feel like they took to many out, lol. It always amazes me that parks will cut down pine and oak trees that have been growing for 20 years and replace them with a little decorative, ornamental tree that will never grow to full size before they cut it down. Kudos to Holiday World and Lake Compounce for leaving as many as possible when building Raven and Boulder Dash. It adds SO much more to the ride when it's hidden under a canopy of trees.

c'mon guys...you know the powers that be can care less about trees...im shock they still install wooden coasters!

[carowinds4ever]

^ hell in that case, maybe we are getting a wooden coaster that is being built out of all the trees they took out. (sarcasm)

Too bad the reverse can't be true,I'm sure there are plenty of trees in the park & in the forest in general that mourn the loss of their bretheren having "fallen" to end up as part of one of the worst coasters ever built (cough hurler cough) LOL!!
