I wonder if STT was closed today due to construction being very near its exit path? When I walked to the exit of Sky Trek Tower I got shot some dirty looks by workers while I took some pictures of the Maxx Force train in the storage shed.

Maxx Force NEW FOR 2019
Damn, there are still un-grouted footers, at least 1-2 weeks before they can even consider testing

why does there need to be grout? what does that do? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
That que looks hella small... like I get it’ll have switchbacks but it’s like Goliath sized. Which i guess after 2015, works fine butttt looks like we’re gonna have a massive portable que set up yet again.
I was gonna say after its first years it shouldn't be that bad of a line but its right in front of the park so I expect to have lines every year
When you have a lot of high schoolers at the park, they don't tend to run Sky Trek Tower, so it's like; why have it open? They must have 20 people everytime to run that ride. The people that ride it the most are parents with kids. "I've been staring at the world, waiting. All the trouble and all the pain we're facing. Too much light to be livin' in the dark. Why waste time? We only got one life. Together we can be the CHANGE. So go and let your heart burn bright"
It was like that last year too They say there isn't a spot in the park where rusting metal or peeling paint is at least 15 feet away from you.
^Good point

News report from onsite tomorrow morning on WGN morning news starting at 4 a.m., according to Marcus. Last edited by ilrider on May 30th, 2019, 12:10 pm, edited 1 time in total.
Go check out Marcus’ insta. He posted a video from inside the station and at the end the train moves. So that clearly means that all power and controls are hooked up. So exciting!! Also the trains are 16 passenger trains

Bet they'll begin testing tomorrow or this weekend They say there isn't a spot in the park where rusting metal or peeling paint is at least 15 feet away from you.
Not sure where you are seeing that unless it was deleted
Media day, or are they just there for testing? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using Tapatalk
 Marcus looking sexy in his new set of wheels They say there isn't a spot in the park where rusting metal or peeling paint is at least 15 feet away from you.
Just checked and it’s still there Last video on his story so the train start to back up. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I just checked his story and it was cool just to see it move even those few inches. I cannot wait for this to open. I was looking at old videos of Hypersonic XLC last night and I know this will be just as awesome!!!!
^Here are 2 more recently built S&S launch coasters in China with almost the same launch as Maxx Force (though these two go to 83 mph) if you haven’t seen these before. Probably higher quality video than the old Hypersonic POVs. I am pretty sure these two are mirrored layouts if I recall. Can’t wait!

Wow they’re really takin care of the train...
 It's ALIVE!!!!!They say there isn't a spot in the park where rusting metal or peeling paint is at least 15 feet away from you.
It doesn't really prove it's ready for testing. The dude from WGN wanted to see it (talking about it tomorrow), so they took it out for him to film on it. I don't know what un-grouted footers means, but if FParker says they are, I believe him. He knows a lot more than a lot of people know about rides.

Probably a couple of construction workers pushing the train from behind.
It has power You can hear it in the video Also another video was posted of them putting it back into the storage shed Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
