I suspect most of the parking lot has never been repaved. I believe that part of walkway in the parking lot is leftover from the parking lot trams. I also doubt speed bumps would slow cars down, I find them fun to fly over. Especially some of the huge ones around Charlotte.

If more track arrives today, the double helix may be finished on Tuesday. I believe the entire track will be complete by January 22nd assuming more track arrives today.

I think it is a optical illusion, a ramp that wouldn't pass state building codes. Ramps are only allowed to rise 1 foot every 12 feet and a rise of no longer than 30" before a landing is required. Obviously you've never been evac'd from a coaster... Nope, but I have done one. On Hurler at Caro...

Looks like the shade covers for the queue are going up and that the games are being graded for what it is replacing them. Coca-Cola Marketplace maybe?

The new restrooms appear to have power connected now, it isn't that the same color as the building in the toll plaza?

Ok, engineering question! The lower track sections have more supports than the taller ones, why?
