This is it a few minutes ago in front of BMG:




They were adding another piece of track when I went by to the outer part of the loop there. This photo was from directly under it in the exit area from the park to Blue Man Theater.




They have three cranes, one by twister, the huge one in the middle by the boneyard that lowered it into the front (pic above), and another smaller one (pic below) that was being set up to raise the piece showed in the pic above to the final spot in the pic below.

They are coming along nicely. When the wife and I were there for 4 days last week they were just pouring those foundations! Here a few I took while there.

They've also started construction on the CitiWalk portion of the attraction.

Credit for pictures goes to Orlando United.

That looks like so much fun!!! I hope they have an AP holder preview.

Thanks for the pics! That coaster is going to be amazing!

I hope they have an AP holder preview.

I would think Universal would know...if they don't do something special for the AP holders in terms of a preview, blood will be shed! They need to do what they did for ROTM...have an after hours preview for only passholders and no one else.

Here's one from today. I think they should leave it like this and let it ramp off into Jimmy Neutron

Thanks MW!! I seriously can't believe they've done all that since I was there a week ago today. We exited US through the Blue Man exit 3 or 4 times and peeked thru the fence to see the construction. They were only pouring those foundations at that time. I can't believe how quick they're getting this up!! The housing area seems it will take longer than the track itself. Personally, I can't wait to see you post pictures when they start erecting the vertical lift!

I am seriously excited to ride this on our return trip in October!!!
