Why not now? Why would they do that in a year or two when they are already tearing up the entire area and doing major construction right now?

I wonder what would be the Demo cost of removing it ??? at least 200 grand ??

Whatever it would have been to do while all this machinery is here and before the new entrance and Fury 325 is a lot less than it will be to do in the future when you have to work around all of that.

The major thing that I see the Amphitheater needing is a fresh coat of paint on the canopy/roof. The rest of it looks like it is in good shape from when I was there last year. That being said, I haven't been on stage or back stage to see if that needs work.

For today's Fury325 Friday, we give you the first glimpse of the new main entrance from inside the park looking toward our new world record-breaking coaster.

At least the entrance work is progressing :) Hard to say what is holding up more track/support install.

They are probably trying to time it so they don't run out again. You'll see them pick up the pace today or tomorrow in preparation for Friday's finishing.

unless my eyes are playing tricks on me, lol they took the columns down for the entrance and put them up on the other side.
