More work was done down by the games area near the rapids. The heavy machinery is gone as the stairs are completely torn up.

Looking up at where the stairway used to be to get up to Samurai Summit. Remember from previous updates that this is where the
Qwalk/Qbldg markers were.

Still where the stairs used to be, more torn up concrete and some markers.

This is near the rapids, but on the SkyTower side, here is a marker coming down the mountain side. This is also a fresh cut in one of the trees.

Now we're on the rapids side of that same pathway, these seem to be the farthest out markers..maybe this is the rumored Dive Loop location?

This is where it starts getting interesting. Here is a marker on the Ninja side of Samurai Summit near the bathrooms.
Could the ride be spanning this much distance? And if it is, what will be the down time for the mountain this winter?

Here you can see another marker in that area I'm talking about. These are just elevation markers for now, but wow, this could be big!

Work is still progressing on the Gardens. Everything now seems torn up except for a few trees marked for saving.
Not sure if they'll stay there or move to another location.

This is looking towards Orient Express on left side. You can see they're digging up the concrete and perhaps running cables/electric/etc.
They are digging all the way from the Ninja area to here.

Here you can see last weeks picture, but now through a green fence mesh!

Another look at the newly fenced off Sky Tower/Old Pathway area.

Through the fence you can see that top piece of stairway still remains even with everything else dug up around it...
maybe they will keep that area and they are just rerouting the path a bit?

Sky Tower is now becoming the storage area for the big equipment...but it gets weirder...

There's a lot of equipment there...and there are some areas dug up, and let's not forget from a previous update there are markers literally
ON the sky tower. Now I can't actually see them removing the thing...but this is a bit odd!

It's kind of hard to see here, but there is dug up concrete...now maybe it came from the other areas they are digging up,
or maybe we can finally say bye bye to the tower!

There isn't even room to implode it though, and I can't see them spending the money to remove it when
SFMM has left so many other rides/stations to rot away.

More Caution tape going back down the hill. I doubt the ride is coming out this far, but with those markers
near the restrooms/superman shop, who knows!
