I just got back from the park and I will say they have done a wonderful job decorating the place like they usually do. Pompeii is the highlight of the event.

On Verbolten, they have almost finished putting up the wall on the side viewable from guests so by next week you will no longer be able to see the track inside the building. Pictures below:

It's good to see Verbolten moving right along, especially after all the fits and starts with Mach Tower this year.

This is going to be an awesome coaster to ride next summer, seeing the construction photos really gets you pumped up to see the finished product!

Second to last picture- What are those?

Thanks for the update, the coaster looks so small with that building hugging it. I wonder if they'll theme the outside or just leave it black

Agreed on the Footers. But those don't look like supports to me.

I'm curious about something else.

Is the old waterfall going to be restored? That was always a nice feature.

I don't remember the waterfall, but that is definately what it looks like.

^It ran down the hill behind the old Big Bad Wolf station. They to shut it down and tear some of it out for the construction, of course.
