^ Well maybe a statue or a plaque in his memorial would also work.

I would say they had already planned having signs with facts about his life like they have with Tony Hawk's Big Spin, but now since his death I would say they will also do a memorial plaque or statue, maybe even video of his life, again similar to Tony Hawks Big Spin.

UPDATE!And a large one too! This update courtesy of SixFlagsStLouis.net!It seems winter break was short for the workers of EK, as progress is pushing on! Check it out: Gotta love those hot GCI support workings! And there's more waiting to look hot over here. First drop? Yes please. Another cool angle. Second hill. It's going up fast. Was going to say something about the ride being "horny" here... but I just don't think it fits! It's not your typical GCI curving drop... ...but man does it look fun! Second hill again, looks to be a fast transition, but that could be because a few bents are missing. Cant wait to see the turnaround more complete. And it looks like that wont take long. Overview #1 Overview #2, you can barely see the second hill. Not much longer until the lift is crested. Check back soon for more updates. Once again this update is courtesy of SixFlagsStLouis.net!

Wow, it looks like a piece of art, (GCI's usually do). Can't wait until this opens.

Amazing like every other GCI. I wish I knew how a GCI felt, I have never ridden one.

UPDATE!This update courtesy of SixFlagsStLouis.net!Progress is moving along great, the weather has been so cooperative! Today in Columbia its over 60 degrees! Not much going on at the first drop. Looks like they are preparing o do more work on the turn-around. The log flume will provide nice views of the ride. A nice angle. Work on the turn near the station is going on. I'm guessing this has something to do with the lift. Another look at the turn near the station. Ground connections. Laterals please! First drop. Here you can see more bents that have gone up that will be wrapping around the outside of the turn-around. And then of course the turn-around itself. Check back soon for more updates. Once again this update is courtesy of SixFlagsStLouis.net!

This coaster will be insane! The drop looks a little different than Thunderbird though, even if they are almost replicas this one is just as cool

UPDATE! This update courtesy of the GCI Interns WebsiteProgress on those turns. I cant tell for sure, but if this is that same turn-around, they sure are taking their time on it! But MAN will it look good! Would LOVE to be one of these workers, anyone else think that it would just be so fun? Once again, this update is courtesy of the GCI Interns Website
