​​Have they started consistent test runs yet or are they still ramping up to that?

Nope. Not consistent. I saw it run from Viper so I made a quick walk over and nothing.

Did spot the 2nd train but when I got off X-Flight it was gone.

They did two rounds of test runs while open today. The first one in the middle of the day was about 5 back to back runs. Then a few hours later I noticed it go about 2-3 times and that was it.

Edit: 2nd train is on track, but no dummies. My assumption is that Testing will only resume after dummies are added to the 2nd train.
They were testing the 2nd train last week. The video they posted the train didn’t have water dummies on it.

That could actually be train 1 then.

They don't run brand new or freshly refurbished trains without weight.... Too much risk of a valley.

Thanks CCG for the flight. I'm surprised to not see Asphalt here for the new midway. Fast progress on the queue. Not only is the ramp I pictured this passed Sunday completely finished, but so is the pathway leading to it.

Progress on those queue houses is also progressing quickly.

First signs of theming going on in the station. Interested to see what else they do.

I uploaded an update on my channel yesterday with footage from Saturday.

I have not watched CCG's livestream mid week (oops) but in terms of progress I noticed:
queue houses coming along nicely, roofs are there with shingles
the white theming pieces in the station
bricks (either real, or maybe a wrap?) have been put around some of the concrete pillars that support the load side
pathway looked great from lobster
significant progress on the ramp into the station
I think there is only one low zone without permanent fencing, the one closest to the food court towards the end of the ride. No fence posts there either as of Saturday
they seemed to be doing block checks Sunday with two trains
Sunday also had some tests without water dummies

Edit: maybe I should have looked at the attachment Goku sent a couple days ago, some of the things I explained are clearly visible in that picture. my bad!

I'm loving all the slashed theming from the pillars to the claw marks on the concrete. Cannot wait to see this come together more. I know those pillars won't stay white. I am seeing the vision but by bit & hope they do something really creative here.

Dang, so if they get this station, queue, Demon Delights, and midway done quick, they could comfortably make that Memorial Day Target.

Part of me hopes they will redecorate the bridge to give us another shaded area. Plus the added benefits of more seating and another Fright Fest tunnel.

From the pictures I've seen. Doesn't seem to be the case yet.

I might be there this weekend.

That will probably be a last minute install.

Just thought I'd share that while I was in the park this weekend I noticed some of the people putting up the theming/walking around in Wrath were wearing "Plague Productions" shirts. This is the same company that has done theming at Cedar Fair parks, haunted houses, and tv shows. Hopefully this is a good sign of theming to come! https://www.plagueproductions.com/


Also, on an unrelated note, has anyone had any issues with the site lately? Most times I visit I need to refresh a few times and always get an error "Resource Limit Is Reached".

Sfgam world is an old-ass website and web hosting isn't free. Error is probably related to whichever service hosts the site.

Just hit refresh a few times and you will eventually get through.

I must have missed this. That would be a nice touch!

Not as of this past Saturday.

I'm assuming this is mostly just for the coaster on a technical standpoint, and not including things like theming, the gift shop and all that? Correct me if that is not the case.

Good catch. I was not aware of Plague Productions up until now. This is a welcome sign!

I have been experiencing it as well but just keep hitting refresh until it goes through!

I am so glad they replaced that hideous asphalt with concrete. Hopefully the entire park gets that treatment within the next few years.

The main permit for the ride and the other permit for the site work, queue, sound and lighting are getting final inspections on May 15th. Nothing scheduled for the gift shop permit yet.

Awesome news! For anyone who has been in commercial shoots before, where do they typically send that information out?
