Just curious, do you think advocate day would still be the Saturday before?


Yes, Advocate on the 16th of April, and CDW on the 17th of April.

A more detailed version of what JLBFM will look like from the model displayed at IAAPA.

^ That model is of Alien Invasion not JLBFM. Unless the ride is being totally redone, which I doubt it very much.

So it appears that the foundation has been laid. Shouldn't be too soon before vertical construction.

Justice League: Battle for Metropolis. Two walls are up. The North end wall is fully framed. The South end wall is framed except the top beams.

Latest from SFGAm's Twitter:

https://twitter.com/SFGreat_America/status/672619394137235456

So the frame is essentially done, so now all that's left is walls, scenery, ride, queue, path, and roof!

...Which will take all the way to May.

You can clearly see will the inside queue area will be. I'm so excited for this. I've been on it several times and this is going to be huge for our park!

^I tried, but cars are going too fast for me to get a non-blurry shot/a shot that is on the building. The far walls near Giant Drop/The Oasis are the ones going up.

He's talking about when I said that they're beginning to build the walls, and didn't post any pictures.

Seeing the huge new building where the Southwest Amphitheater once stood will make the ride on the Giant Drop more interesting as riders view the new pavilion from high up in the air.

^ It's too bad we're going to lose that great view of Eagle though. With the amphitheater gone you really got a great view of Eagle that was always blocked by the theater.

^Last time they posted on Twitter for a JLBFM update, they were installing the roof, so I'm sure it's close, if not done.

Yet they still need to open on Memorial Day weekend.

Seeing as it's a prefab building that should go together in 2-3 weeks, and it's been to 2-3 months now but it's being built at SFGAm so I'm going to guess the roof is most likely not done yet
