So there's some concrete forms being put in place at the bottom of the tallest drop... where everyone is thinking a water feature. Thinking this could be a tunnel instead? Not sure.

There's some great new photos that just went up on Screamscape, but I'm not sure where they were taken. Could be inside the construction site itself, so I won't be posting them.

I'll give them props for chutzpah if they put a "backside of water" pun in there.

Ive been fantasizing in my head that when we drop down from the top hat into part of the cement that seems to be being worked on, or is at least at different elevation, has some sort of "splash down" effect, then right across from it where that inversion at the end of the ride over the lagoon is, water splashes over us so we have to go upside down to avoid getting wet. Might be just a pipe dream, and idk if I explained that well whatsoever haha. My coaster vocabulary is not up to par.

Yeah, that would be cool. But what if in the lagoon, under the water they had a Mosasaurus and it leapt out of the water just under the heartline roll, which is the reason we go upside down to avoid getting eaten by the Mosasaurus. That is definitely a pipedream, but that would have been so great!!

I think the element in front of the Discovery Center will look like a mini raptor paddock surrounded by "electric fence".

The new forms they have up kinda look like they could be for electric fence supports in the same style as the entryway to the Discovery Center.

Yep. Earlier I was thinking it would be the electric fencing, and then when I saw the angled narrow style of the concrete forms, I am almost positive they are "footers" for the electric fence poles.

On the plus side, it will be visually appealing for non riders.

Taste is subjective, but I genuinely hope you're right.

Any insight as to why this curvy tunnel thing is built so substantially? A dictator could shelter in that thing!

I continue to be hugely impressed with the amount of rockwork and theming getting poured into this thing. If the animatronics make it across the finish line, this will probably end up being a fuller, more complete experience than Hulk.

(Please, please, please do not cut the animatronics!)
