[sammmmmyI wrote the book about donkeys!]

This makes me seriously excited to see what Premiers got in store for YOLOcoaster at SFMM. (If it's true its a Premier).

[jray21Why do I still have a donkey title???]

Thanks for the update Charles! Great pictures! I'm definitely going to be there for the opening.

[NoobitizerThe best thing about TPR is the donkeys.]

No problem guys! Here is today's update. You can see concrete is in and track work is moving fast!


No concrete yesterday, today DONE!


No walls yesterday, today almost DONE!


Cliffhanger piece


This was around 12 noon


Around 6pm




And non-inverting loop DONE


Only a few parts to go!

Until next time!

[bottom_feeder_132 + 2 = donkey!]

The cliff hanger over that vertical spiral is going to be one freaky moment, the twist looks crazy and almost un-heartlined at the moment as well as if it'll pull some good g's in the pull up.

[Angry_GumballIt's All About Quality!]

Wow, that really is taking shape fast! That non inverting loop looks pretty crazy and definitely less 'circular' than the concept.

One thing I was wondering... The old Zonga station that will be part of the queue, is the rest of that outside area between the old station and the S:UF station going to have any kind of shade? Also it looks like you'll be going up some steps to wind through some switchbacks, go back down some steps, and back up? Seems kind of awkward to me.

Other than that, this looks like it's going to be pretty sweet. I can't wait to see the completed circuit and some testing action!

[UrbanLegendThe playground is where I spend most of my days]

That non-inverting loop definitely looks crazier now that it's elongated like that! Can't wait to get out to NorCal again.

[australianalexA village is missing its IDIOT!]

Is it actually possible for them to get this ride completed AND tested in under 3 weeks?

Anyway it's shaping up well and looks awesome! I thought it looked kind of "meh" in the concept art for some reason, but now that it's actually being built it looks awesome.

We will be using the old queue so yes it will be just as you described. Beyond that we still have some surprises up our sleeves, so you will just have to wait and see

[KDCOASTERFANI prefer to mate with donkeys over humans!]

I kind of like that...noodles holding us in! Sounds less restraining and more noodley! You can still apparently still type 'jeeps' and 'restraint' however.

Sounds good for lapbars on woodies but what about OTSR's?

[chickenbowlJason X versus the Robot Space Donkey!]

Very cool pictures! Love the updates, and yeah, now that they've made progress on the station, the track work is picking up. I can't decide whether I should make the trip up there this year or next once CGAs supposed coaster opens... hmmm.
