This is probably the last set before it goes vertical. Although the weather for Monday isn’t looking too good.
(Jay, I’ll get the pans next time).

Forgive me, oh great Fury 325, for I have sinned.

I complained on TPR about how I wished we had an Intamin launch so that I could rub it in their face. I just can't stand the "meh" comments about this coaster. Fury will hand I305 and MF their a$$e$.

Great pictures Wormy as always. Tomorrow is the vertical day if mother nature holds off. I forgot about those 2 games potentially being removed per the tour. I wish you got a picture of the fence being moved. Haha. Just wanted to show I was correct in my assumption.
As the elevator operator says, Going Up!

You know when you consider the new entrance toll plaza and entrance roads, the new parking lots, the new entrance and the largest steel coaster in US history our construction going on know surely has to be the largest amusement park construction project ever. When you consider the acreage and not counting a new park opening altogether. Unless I am missing something? Rather impressive. Off to the park now to pay my last respects to the Plantation House entrance.

To be honest, I don’t think anyone here really knows what the dirt piles are for. Future grading is the likely assumption, but we’ve been told to expect some surprises, so who knows. I just like taking pictures of dirt lol.

Yes those two games are suspect for removal for a possible facelift of Thrill Zone.

Can’t come back from an event Q&A blabbing everything :wink:

I think that some of the surprises will include the Thrill Zone. I also think that there will be a few extras on the coaster :wink: . Also, I think that the dirt will be for grading the parking lot. Isn't there a large hole there where the parking lot will go? It will need to be leveled off, so they'll use that dirt. But then again, the dirt could be for something else.
Haha, we've been talking about this 'pile-o-dirt' for three months.

exactly what could u turn a pile of dirt into? if it was just for grading, no reason for wormy to keep that a secret. only time I see piles of dirt like that is when they are for highway over passes etc.
