Finally time for another construction update on the Flying Turns.

What we do know is there there is no scheduled opening date and the only comment from the park that has been released is that it will "open when its ready"

Here is what we do know has been done over the off-season and early season...

Transfer Track Removed

The track on the outside of the first helix has been removed and the transfer is being moved.

New Transfer Track 

A new transfer track has been created next to the old brake run and the roof has been removed:

Final Lift Hill Reprofiled

The final lift hill between the brake run and the lift hill has been completely removed and is being reprofiled.   It is being built using a side-friction style track instead of the old funnel style track.

Track Reprofiled

Some of the sections of the main trough have been reprofiled.  We have been told that the trains have been reaching tracking too high in the trough and that they were getting too close to the bumper walls in parts

Various Trains on Site

Various trains and train configurations are on site.   There is a set in the station and in the brake run.

That's all for now.  We will keep you up to date as we get more information.
