Whomever has connections to the folks controlling the camera, please ask them to lower the camera a little and move it to the right so that Dodgems are just out of frame. Everyone who checks the cam for progress would be thankful.

For those who have a better comprehension of coaster construction, why does the loading station look as if it is one solid floor piece all off a sudden?
Is there any reason why they would cover up the track section? I can't for the life of me figure this one out.

OSHA? It'd be a rather stupid risk to have workers jumping back and forth over a 3-ft gap, when it's pretty easy to temporarily eliminate. Just a guess.

But to find something that matches the color of the concrete perfect lol. I hope they are not that dumb but I'm sure it's just a tarp or platform. Kudos to the guys tho for finding a concrete colored one lol

Probably just covered the track and then overlaid the entire surface with something temporary (probably not concrete). I was thinking covering like they lay over basketball and gym floors to protect them.

Then again, maybe they constructed concrete-covered gap-fillers that are like 4x8 that are removable. Then they could lift them in and out as necessary. The cam isn't clean enough nor zoomed in enough to be able to see the crack.
