October 29th

It is September 29th. Wormy is correct. I was at the ACE event yesterday.

That's what I think. But perhaps the station might be in place by then. Well, when I look back at Intimidator construction, the station wasn't even finished when half of the track was erected. Even so, the entrance to Fury will probably be the last thing constructed.

They put in the station track first and then build the station around it.

Yes, I know that. I meant to say that we won't see larger sections of track go up just yet, but around the 29th. We'll see soon enough.
Speaking of the station, but the way it looks in the animation, we'll walk around the queue next to the lift, then up a stairwell and into the station. Once leaving the station, we'll exit down a stairwell on the opposite side and, I guess, have an opportunity to go into the Fury store and photo area, then exit out the front. Or just skip the store entirely and walk around the station back to the midway.
Do any of you think that Jukebox will get an uplift? Like larger restrooms (which is highly needed I might add).

I think Intimidator's lift was done in about a month, so I think we could see the lift hill completed by the end of the season.

Hopefully it doesn't rain on the 29th, it says 60% chance as of today for the 29th. Hope they can still start as planned.

Notes that I remember from yesterday include:

•First piece of steel is scheduled to go up the 29th of this month.

•They are ahead of schedule and are looking to accelerate construction wherever they can.

•They are starting from the break run area and working their way around the ride.

•The transfer track after the station doesn't count as a block.

•The lift hill alone is going to be 63 seconds to the top.

•One magnetic trim will be in the layout itself, not specified where.

•The footers are up to 22 feet and deeper in some places.

•It will have seat belts that are the same as Intimidator.

•You board on the side closer to the park, and exit towards Hurler.

•Its going to take 2 cranes to assemble the massive crane for the lift hill.

•They said that there are some things missing and different from the animations, specifically the bridge will look different from the animation.

•When the north gate is closed they will use the south gate and a temporary north gate through the picnic shelters.

My friend recorded the whole construction tour q/a and will upload it to youtube for you guys soon.
Edit: Sorry that never happened

Very nice. I would like to add, there will be NO BINS in the station and everything has to be put into a locker BEFORE getting in line for the ride. The lockers will not be free and they are still working on how much they will cost etc. I will also post the video of the QA on the tour, but mine is a little blurry because I need a new camera...

Thanks for taking such great notes! Can't wait to see & hear the q&a!

[dabrian]

Glad to hear they are going with no storage bins on the ride. Should help with capacity.

[RollerBee]

No storage bins....
This is a first, lockers are too expensive.

[IsaacMcCalla]

I don't know how this is going to work out for me next year.. I usually bring like 2 string bags. Lol

[RollerBee]

So how are they going to sell things in the gift shop if women dont have their purses?

Great Pictures!. I'm still sad that the house is leaving.
So, it's been one month since the announcement...

[hdmech]

Can sombody please clarify what legoguy means by a "block"? I'm not too familiar with construction jargon?
