Now one of the few things we apparently know is that this ride will use RMCC topper track. Now I have never experienced their topper track. Could anyone fill me in on how it rides.

Try to get pics of the Valley, it will be on your left side after you pass the Hobo Junction,  You may be able to see it, when they "change" engineers...

If you get pics , please post them. Shave has yet to see the valley with the footings in it.. thanks

OH YEA!!!  Have a great visit!.

With the trees all "leafed" out now, it is impossible to get a good shot of the valley.  Believe me, I tried.  You can see it, but you can photograph them from a moving vehicle.

I for one hope it takes until next March to complete this one. That would surely mean a bigger ride.

Vertical construction will be complete by the end of summer I'm sure. Even big coasters only take a few months for major construction.

Word from chadster on TPR is that there is Topper Track being installed on the lift as we speak.

I-beam or topper?  I find it hard to believe if topper. It only replaces the top few layers of wood laminate and that takes time to lay。

This is the view of the new coaster from McDonalds. In one picture Powderkeg is on the far right and the new coaster is on the far left. In the other picture there is a close up of the coaster. (Its a little blurry but its the best i could do from so far away)... More pictures to come once the weekend is over

Very neat, thanks for the photo. I never really noticed how big the skyline is getting from that angle, even though I always see it driving by.

The lift might not reach 100ft, but man, look how deep that valley gets. This thing is bound to be one of the most incredible rides in the country with this terrain.

The view of the valley is perfect from where McDonalds is!

I think the lift on the coaster still has a ways to go though. It doesn't look like it's reaching the peak yet.
