^It'd be kind of hard to miss an opening that's slated to be 4 months from now/3 months into the season.

UPDATE! Sorry it's another day late, I was busy last night. Hopefully it works this time. Thanks to Midwest Info Guide for this update. The SFStL season has started, and a lot of work has been done since the last update. The ride is slated to open on JUNE 20th. This fact and countdown display has been set up in front of the ride. The ride's layout is nearly complete. The bottom of the lift and surrounding areas are all that is left. Here you can see the station and how it is built into the lift structure. The ramp to the station is up. The brake run area. Workers continue work on the track. More workers. Most of the track itself is in place now as well. Moon Cars is being re-directed, the new layout runs through the structure parallel to the first drop! Here's a close up, how cool will it be to drive by when a train is going by?! The deadman still looks amazing. The ride really brings life to this area of the park, what a beautiful sight from the midway. This area was so dull before, just look at it now! A nice view showing all of the progress. Another good one. From the other side. Overviews of the progress:Have I mentioned how impressive this ride is? I can't wait to ride it in June. Thanks again to Midwest Info Guide for this update, hopefully Ill be up there soon myself to take some of my own pictures.

These are the GCIs I really have a thing for - the ones where the lower levels of track follow the higher ones. No piece of track on this thing really separates from the rest of the ride, everything's parallel to the track next to it. I love it.

With the parks lowering their prices and "staycations" becoming more popular, I think these regional parks are going to do alright.

^If you live in Indianapolis then SFGAm might be a better idea than driving four hours further out of your way to go to WOF.
I plan on being at the park on June 20th for the opening of the ride.

Following the building of this coaster is like watching golf on Tv.

^Agreed. I've never seen coaster construction move so slow. Even if they do have a large amount of time before it opens, you'd think that they could still move it along just a little...
