Maxx Force NEW FOR 2019
Glorious! They say there isn't a spot in the park where rusting metal or peeling paint is at least 15 feet away from you.
I know right. I can't wait to get to the park this weekend and get some close up shots myself from the Viper fast pass lane.
Here are a few I took from this evening
Looking at that dive loop section, I’m thinking we may get a bit of floater air when you’re stalled sideways before dropping into the brakes.
I gon' cut you...
Looks like West Coast Racers officially went vertical today XD
Thanks Rob!! Do you have any aerial shots of the whole thing?

I think the airtime will be sustained ejector. Think about the snappiness of the inversion leading to the element.
No, Did not have time to get approval to get the drone up. Hope to stop by the park tomorrow.

My first visit of the year will be tomorrow (Wednesday). The park closes at 5:00PM, so there'll be a lot to see in a short time. Let me know if you all want any specific pictures of Maxx (that won't put me in jail).
How about a few photos from Sky Trek Tower of the entire ride?? Single Day Ride Count Record

Maxx Force update
1) They are moving along on prepping the queue lines (putting in concrete forms for one path (either ride edit or working access) 2) Station framing is almost complete 3) Ride exit/Gift shop outside almost complete painted (inside still little done): 4) View of B-Roll: 5) View on complete structure complete: Enjoy!
Wow, they aren't wasting any time with this ride. Glad to see more is getting done. Now, hopefully trains arrive soon so they begin to test.
Thanks for going out and getting pictures to share, Rob. I appreciate it 
Sky Trek was down today, so I couldn't get any aerial shots. However, I did talk to one of the guys painting the entrance. He confirmed that the upfront theme colors are grey with red trim. They were painting the red as I was taking pictures:
 You can see the red trim at the top one of the trellises in this picture:  I took this one so you could get an idea of the size of the station relative to the size of the construction workers (they're wearing orange shirts inside the station). The station is bigger than I thought:  It looks like they may be running the concrete for the exit ramp. Looks like it'll hug the Hurricane Harbor fence:  I shot this panoramic picture of the entire construction area nearest the shed, but this site shrunk it down due to its width:  In the panoramic, they were working on the back side of Carousel Plaza Gifts. Not the building itself, but cleaning things up. Looks like they may be starting grading in the near future. Here's a picture of just the back side of Carousel Plaza Gifts:  Last edited by UnclePennybags on May 16th, 2019, 4:36 pm, edited 3 times in total.
Thanks to everyone for all of the great photos of Maxx Force today. I am very happy to see that the park is making some real progress on the ride, its station, and the surrounding area of the ride. It seemed like they were moving so slow for the longest time so it is awesome to see them making progress at a quicker rate now.
Wow, incredible hustle.
Nice pics! I also really like the new colors on Carousel Gifts.
Thanks Rob and UnclePennyBags for the great photos!!
Any progress on the train bridge? Single Day Ride Count Record

I didn't have a vantage point to see progress on the bridge.
5/17/19 - Bridge for the train is in place (minus railings):
Looks very wide so I am thinking this will either be maintenance road as well or some other kind of way for the park employees to access the other side of the ride. You can see the spools of cable for ht mechanical/electrical as well, so they are working on that too. Seeing that how close this is to the train and HH entrance, they will still have to fence this ride in as well. I hope they use the fencing like X-Flight as it just looks better. I have a construction update video from this past week posted to Youtube now. https://youtu.be/tebVO4fR5ko Rob
^^ you, sir, are a freaking rockstar
I think the track is curved when it goes over the bridge. I believe that is the reason for it being so wide
