Yes an update is always greatly appreciated. This coaster is looking like it's going to surpass expectations... Can't wait for this beauty to open up.

Thanks for the awesome update. I can't believe how fast it is going up. That is extremely impressive. I can't wait to see what it looks like when complete.

I would also like to thank Chris for the welcome at the start of the tour. It made the Update a lot more enjoyable. lol

Maybe we can start calling this ride "Terminator Salivation" because my chops are dripping...

Seriously, this ride is coming together very nicely and in no time we'll be seeing those Millennium Flyers racing around the course. Not a lot of tall drops, but some low to the ground turns and airtime are going to put this ride into the top five at the park.

Looks great Jahan, thanks for the update! I know the concrete slab is more cost efficient and is easier for construction, but is anything going to happen to it to make it look better? I know Six Flags likes to put rides over parking lots, but maybe they've moved past that and are ready to make rides look good. Coaster looks awesome, a big ole' concrete slab does not.

^ Understood, but I'm pretty sure that while you're riding, the concrete slab below is the last thing you'll notice. Mainly because the dense wooden structure will hide it as opposed to Scream!'s minimal steel structure and the fact that you're high enough to see it all.

And I forgot to say thanks to Jahan for the update. Diana and I are possibly going to get out there over the weekend so she can pick up her season pass booklet. Of course that depends on work and weather.

^Thanks, and I agree that the dense structure will hide the concrete a lot better than scream, but still on that first turn they built where are the bents are no places, I have to imagine that you have to notice the slab then. Maybe they will put terminator things there.

^I'm not a huge fan of concrete either, but if it means that the ride integrity will hold up better than Psyclone after the next earthquake, then I'm all for it.

Great pics, thanks for the update, Jahan.

Well said. I need mop and a bucket over here!

Hopes Magic Mountain gets a used Roller Skater that 36" kids can ride.

I'm impressed at how fast this ride is going up even with the Rain this past week. I can't wait until May to ride this thing.
Trying to look smart on the TPR forums since 2008.

I don't know what is more shocking...

The rate at which construction is progressing, or the fact Jahan actually decided to post something again...
