Yeah the traffic cam is kind of useless now that the text at the top of the screen is covering the entire top of the lift lol.

They are working this morning though. The image is clear enough to see the crane extended.

LOL

I can confirm that the lift and drop are complete from an inside source. I was notified it was finished this morning.

Marcus got WGN to send SkyCam 9 up to Six Flags. He got some great footage of Wrath and got much closer.

That's like a tradition when they top off tall structure in the construction industry.

Always planting a flag.

Love it.

One thing with dive coasters is that people will want to take off their shoes. I don't remember if Yukon Striker allows people to put their shoes in the bins, or if they have bins for shoes like Valravn does. Interested to see which way we go regarding that.


Found my pictures from Yukon Striker. It looks like a bin for shoes was built into the conveyor belt system.


Thank you!

For whatever reason, the drop looks so much steeper than both Dr. D and Iron Menace. Looks great!

Marcus had some really good quality shots of the ground work / station. Still trying to make sense of people flow. Seems like you will load on the left side (when facing forward on the train), but I don't see where people will get to that side of the station. Very compact over there with the storage track and service road.

Does anyone know what they’re doing here? I too am very interested in how the station and queue will work. Can’t wait to see everything come together.

I can think of only an idea. It's a foundation for something to do with the queue, theming, etc.

We know Battle's old queue switchbacks area will most likely be used for Rakshasa's Queue meaning that it will have to cross under the track at low areas at least two or four times, the most likely path I see is under the last turn into the brake run since there's a pretty decent gap and height there and it could handle a path wide enough for both entry and exit paths.

From there it will head towards the front of the station and cross under the turn, because queues almost never go under transfer tracks as far as I know. The shape of the station building implies entry is on the left.

That's my theory at least, and the only reasonable explanation for walls near the base of the lift.

Guilty. Demon can die a slow painful death and I wouldn't be upset.
