The framework for most of the mountain seems to be up and the track seems to be progressing quickly. Based on the visual construction, does anyone else feel that the ride could be ready for preliminary test cycling by summer of 2005 and rider cycling by fall of 2005? Has anyone else heard and confirmed the attractions maximum speed and height? |

| | | I thought it was supposed to open in 2006. I haven't heard anything about the height or speed, but I hope the new Vekoma track will be smooth. |

| | | I think that it will open in early 2006. Its going to take a while for all the landscaping and stuff. Its alot of land! It takes alot of time to make a mountain, lol. When you really think about it, they are only about half way done. I'm guessing this will be about 125 to 175 feet tall and about 55 mph. If this will be smooth, this will be one pretty awesome coaster. |

for those that haven't been keeping up with the progress of this ride this thread is the most recent update
most are hoping for a klate 2005 opening but i would hope for early 2006 if were lucky....plus it was just admitted that the crew has fallen behind schedule do to the hurricane conditions...
all in all this ride looks more amazing everyday....
also the lift was added TODAY which might explain the excitement of everyone in the forum!
