There’s no track on site
I just left the park
That shipment is from Italy so not sure what it could even be. Track shipments won’t show upon that site cause they are not being imported. The only thing we would be getting that is imported are the trains from B&M in Switzerland. There is a new open top truck on site in employee lot that matches the description of the item that was shipped. Picture is attached.

Could the Italy shipment be from Zamperla? Something for Sky Striker maybe?

These are from France. It's from Valente, who is known to make trains and other parts for B&M.

Tiny is always there now for many years
That’s actually not tiny
Tiny is gone
This is one of the other smaller ones
At least I think if I remember correctly

Well, clearly I'm not remembering anything [emoji13] oh that's right there was a grave for Tiny under the train tracks by Max's entrance cause she had popped a few years ago right?!

Well hopefully by next month we start seeing track for Rakshasa.

Ah, that makes sense. I thought they still put Tiny on the side of Eagle. I remember it being there last year, or it could just be the Mandela Effect.

Looks like construction is to the point that Demon will not operate again this season. Sad but understandable and will be worth it for on time construction!

Yea
I noticed that this would be a possibility Wednesday when I had the drone up and all the barriers had been removed from the area. Apparently the Demon sign is also gone, which makes sense cause they wouldn’t want to ruin it with heavy CJ struction equipment. Maybe we can get a return to the original al Demon sign that had the tunnel and lighted eyes in it!

I can confirm the sign is gone, I was in park yesterday. I think Demon has a cooler sign, I'd be totally cool reusing it.

Demon will not reopen this year. I was at the park and the entire exit and front entrance queue is gone

Also, it appears that the silver outer lining for the footers are sitting in the employee parking lot.

I'm guessing the time is very near for the park to start drilling holes in the ground for the footers and placing those cement metal forms in the ground?
Anybody know how deep these holes have to go?
How far underground is the bedrock in the Gurnee area?

Yes and if you look from above or to the left, you’ll see the whole exit queue and front entrance queue gone.

I wonder if they will reroute the entrance and exit to Trail blazers old site?

^ does not make much sense to me, they would have to build a queue over and/or under both Demon track and the railroad. I could see the "portal" shifted some, but nothing drastic.

Yeah, that would be tricky building over the train tracks. I'm really curious to see how they are going to make the new entrance/exit for Demon work

Seeing the current state of the Demon entrance renews my impression of how they were able to squeeze in this large of a coaster without much sacrifice. They did great

Yes! I thought they would definitely remove Hometown Park and the go-karts. That is amazing how they were able to squeeze such a large coaster into a very small footprint

I'm still surprised that Demon Snacks is staying. Where is the queue for Rak going to go!
