From Busch Gardens:
Construction crews worked into the evening on Monday to install the final piece of track that completes Cheetah Hunt’s epic 4,429-foot run – a record length among Busch Gardens Tampa’s coasters.
The final section, which completes the “jump” over the Skyride’s cables, was bolted into place just before 9:30 p.m.
Even with the completion of the track, however, the work is far from over in preparing the new mega-attraction for its May 27th grand opening.
Crews will spend the next two months finishing the intricate sculpting – or “theming” – of the coasters’ surrounding architecture. Construction also continues on innovative Cheetah Run habitat, which will house more than a dozen of the highly endangered cats and offer guests unique opportunities to get up-close and witness a cheetah’s speed first-hand during daily sprints.
That first oic looks very cool.
Going over there, early, Friday for a HOS focus group and take some pics.

I was at the park today. They had some stakes by the construction walls surrounding the south side of the third trench stating "Fence" (which probably means a restricted fence).
And also, the tree in front of the cheetah holding area (once part of the Clydesdale lawn) now has a planter box around it, and some red/orange stakes have appeared mainly between the tree and the holding area (I assume this is path work).

SIMPLY AMAZING! I was also there today and I am currently uploading the pics and will post as soon as slow ol photobucket is done.
Fantastic update Octobers Fade. Man, this is an exciting time for Busch Gardens and coaster enthusiasts. I'm really eager to ride this in the Summer. Phenomenal piece of ingenuity.
^ Thanks got a few of the coaster, but as it is assembled nothing really new.
They had the gates open for quite awhile
More from the bypass, this will be a fun place to photograph when the trains are running.
