Some great information from Stateline Thrillz on Instagram. Track will be completed in about two weeks.

My point stands then. He already said he stole it from that one 'Roller Coaster' image, rather than paying for the copyrighted image. But what do I know? :crazy:

Preach it, brother. Looks to me like a new #2 in the park. Can hardly wait to verify.

Me personally, I can’t see it beating Afterburn due to Mack’s reputation of not building intense coasters, but it still looks to have so many great airtime moments that they may become neck and neck.

I'm also like 99% sure that they've erected all of the supports, so they only have to put up track. They could get as far as the turnaround near the parking lot by the end of today.

Yea, from what I saw on that end, it looks like all supports are pretty much up and I didn't see any out in the laydown yard, I did see the transfer track though. Track will be completed by the 15th, Steve confirmed they are still on time. It may be sooner.
