PROJECT 2027
Looks like some pavement work is being done next to the PowderKeg launch building
All sorts of rebar is now in place nex to the launch
Still a large pallet of forms waiting to be used
It looks like they've been busy burying footer foundations
Lots of burying has happened here.
Also interesting how they have left a "valley" between the new rockwork and the construction area. (we'll show you from the other side here in a bit)
Looking towards the American Plunge lift and we're happy to report that tunnel for American Plunge has finally been properly buried
It is crazy how much this area has changed even since our last visit.
Here's a look at the now buried footers from the other side
There's a giant new footer there in the middle
Close up of the buried footers
Here's that ravine I was talking about. Do you think the water feature will go this way as well? I'm not sure why they have left it like this
One last look at this side of the site
Now over by Wildfire, you can see how they have water flowing again under the walkway. You can also see the queue area for the new ride
Water feature is now full again and the queue line pathway
Backside of the water feature. Interesting black tube there
This will probably be off stage when everything is done
There are literally footers everywhere in this photo
Seriously. Everywhere.
This area has probably changed the most since our last visit
This is the station and maintenance building for the ride
Apparently load will be on this side and then the maintenance area on the far side.
We're most interested in what appears to be supports for track on top of the structure
Large boulders were being brought in today for landscaping
Very active worksite today
It looks like there is a lot more gravel in the clearing (the one without footers) this time
Lots of truck traffic through this area today.
Still no track or supports though
