You would think that the supports that the last section of track installed passes under would have been centered on where that track goes... it sure seems like the track is very close to the support on the left... we'll have to see if our long arms can touch it! :lolno:

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?

On the steps pic, it seems strange to me that a few steps from the top it appears to change to a grated ramp. I wonder if that raises up and there are stairs underneath? The Twitter post mentioned 458 stairs? I wouldn't think a ramp, grated or not, would be safer than steps.

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.

King's Island is getting a new Coca Cola® Marketplace for this year. I think that we too will be getting one right there in front of the Juke Box where the game stalls were.

ALT Drone video

I don't know what picture you are referring to. It is steps all the way. Watch the whole video above. But in this video, at the top, it momentarily looks like it is a ramp at the top (starting about at 3:25 of the video) . As the drone changes angles, the steps appear and disappear. But it is definitely not a ramp. You can see the cameraman step down from the second highest step at 3:48. And at 3:51 watch the guy in the lighter blue jacket step down from the top step.

Another piece of track is being installed! I definitely think that Fury will be done before February, if not by Winter Warm-up. I hope that the brakes (yes, I did spell it right :shock: ) are able to be 'set' to a certain speed! :)
