Maxx Force NEW FOR 2019

[JackGlass]

Rob, Thank you for all the great footage and construction updates throughout the Winter!

[CoasterRiderSC]

Thanks Rob! Great work!! It's really a short distance from station to the railroad bridge. Also, it doesn't look like there is much room to get the train under the track (the barrel roll) and between the supports.

the squares are forms for the grout which it looks like they'll be doing pretty soon

It looks like they are adding re-enforcements around the base. When I was by HH gate, there was a worker adding concrete around those footers.

At 8:24 in your update it looks like they’re already doin a pull through test... which if So, is a great sign.

Great update. Looks like they are getting ready to pour the concrete for part of the queue by the station. I'm really looking forward to see trains!

Everything is bigger than it looks. You don't see it until a worker stands close to something. Then you get an idea of proportion.

There are three supports that come down within the width of the train bridge. The train track will be run through at an angle between the two supports furthest from the station.

They are planning to pour more concrete for the queue. You can also see from Sky Trek Tower where the exit path is going to go. Hope they can get it done quickly!

any pics from today before the rain?

^ No, sorry. There wasn't anything really new except for the queue prep that I talked about. They painted the top of the entrance sign red. Looks nice!

It's so sleek looking, I love it! I can't wait to see the trains gliding down the track. Still no talk of trains :/

They haven’t even started testing yet. Usually after testing begins it’s about 3 weeks from that it’s ready for a opening. Most likely middle of June

looks like a majority of the footers haven't been grouted yet, or even formed out for grout, there is no possible way it opens within the next 2 weeks.

Also they haven't even installed all the bolts to hold the ride together, in the last pic above you can see where the track attaches to the supports, there are 2 bolts visible on a flange that can hold like 20

I'm sticking with my June 22 prediction, although others have pointed out that there would be a soft opening several days before any official opening for the media and memberships.

Looks like whizzer has finally been put back together!

Great observation!!!!

Thanks for explaining that! It also looks very close to Raging Bull turnaround in some photos, and in others it looks like there's a big gap between the two rides.

Does anyone know if there will be any lights or effects in the underside of train bridge (kind of like what Demon has) ?

[CoastsToCoasters]

Seeing that it’s at the beginning of the launch, I’m gonna say why would they?

[ledgeland]

I hope they don't add any lights or sound effects. Going to be a quick trip through the tunnel, but would be cool for the tunnel to be dark especially at night. Sound effects could end up being more annoying than anything.

I'm looking at the pictures posted previously and it will be more of a tunnel than an actual bridge for the train, right? Like how it looked in the computer animation.

[redrobinround]

anyone going to the park for updates tomorrow?
