This thing is going to be a cash cow! It's right in the front of the park, it's going to have an on ride photo, it's going to exit through the gift store and it will boost flash pass sales.

Since Sky Treks exit isn't going to be used, I wonder if they will eventually turn that into a new Hurricane Harbor entrance? I can't wait to see what the final product looks like!

It would honestly be very smart to have a second entrance to Hurricane Harbor there. Having two entrances into Hurricane Harbor would be very efficient.

If the entrance will be the old Pictorium entrance and the exit will be through the Gift shop, they still have the old exit path from the Pictorium that would be a perfect HH entrance!
They say there isn't a spot in the park where rusting metal or peeling paint is at least 15 feet away from you.

Ive always thought it would be better to have the HH entrance up front. But if they wanted to so thst, they could/would have done it ages ago. I think it's unlikely that changes, at least not without some other big change to HH.

Are the supports grey or black? Also I didn't think I-94 would be that good of a view for construction pics!

It’s been a great spot for years, especially by the businesses across the highway. Back in the day watching RB, V2, Déjà Vu & XFlight we’re all visible from there.

Glad we got an answer to that question I asked earlier with the entrance & exit. Crazed out there’s only going to be two trains though. I’m hoping they have three, with one off at all times cause if one goes down, we only have one during that entire downtime which for any/number of reasons could be down all day. Yikes.

I wouldn't think you'd be able to see those supports so clearly just because I thought the ride stayed somewhat low minus the double inversion. This ride is gonna be so cool and so tall. :D But no one answered what I had asked earlier, but are the supports actually a dark grey? Or it could just be the picture, but they look darker than what they do in the CGI videos. Can't get enough of this ride :)

I think it may just be in a weird shadow in the photo. BTW shout out to Amusement Insiders. Love his content.

Nope, they really are that dark. They posted an Instagram update.

It would be great if the park would just post the images to their main instagram page. Forcing me to login to a social media platform to view content is a non-starter.

Well, it'll definitely look like Full Throttle! I don't know what color support I like better

I didn't think construction would go this quickly! I hope I can drive by sometime soon to see the progress in real life.

Cmon guys. We hope for this every 2yrs. It ain’t gonna open early. ..... & I’m even hopeful. But here’s what is goin to happen - the ride will be done & ready but sit there until Memorial Day weekend.

I asked this a while back, but is there any details for passholder previews yet?

Not yet. They always have previews for passholders and members though, I can't imagine it being any different for Maxx Force.

If they a promoting "construction tours" on the park's Opening Weekend, then they aren't going to open it before Memorial Day. THere's no reason too. They want people to have a reason to come back to the park so waiting til after Memorial Day when most schools and stuff are out makes a lot of sense. It's always been that way.

This probably helps increase ridership at Sky Trek too.

God the views watching it twirl through the layout so damn quick from up there will be so awesome. I really Wish there was space to watch it take off. But it’s in a trench. Sooo yeah.

^ Yeah..that part is annoying. The train will give some great shots too. About the pictures from yesterday, were those the double inversion supports or the dive loop into the station?
