Does anyone have the footage from the speech before the Furious unveiling? Where they discuss Terminator replacement, new lagoon show, and mention the new coaster? I would love to see what actual language was used.

No word about the coaster being "inside" so that is great.

Thanks! :thumbsup:

Just as I thought, no indoor. People just hear it when they hear highly themed.

Pretty sure those are anchors that will be drove in to help hold the wall back.

I hate to sound ungrateful for a free service, but isn't it about time for one of Bio's aerial updates? Curious to see this, and the dirt moving on the new property, and Infinity Falls, etc... :D

Bio typically releases his aerials on the weekends and alternates between Disney and Universal. He did Disney this weekend so i'd expect Universal next weekend going by recent trend.

@fryoj is correct, they're anchors that use gravity to stay upright. They're used in virtually every construction side that has a retention wall.

Here's an example of a home-use variety:

even mega buildings like the WTC use them:

If I had to take a guess, I’d say both of those track pieces are for the final brakes. Curved piece to finish off the turn into the brakes, and straight piece for the tall supports that lead into that turn.

Good lord this ride seems like perfection to me. The pacing of the elements from your description here is fantastic! Alicia, thank you so much for everything you've been providing. We're not worthy.

That is very well written and places everything what we know until now in perspective. I took the ride with you and it sure made me happy. Thank you so much Alicia.
