Eyes to the sky! More track and supports have been installed for Hyperia.
In the short span of a few days, the photos and shop unit have been rebuilt. The old shop was removed and a much larger unit has been built in its place. Although it would have been great to have a part of Old Town still in the area, it’s great to see the park investing in a purpose-built shop. And, it’s not a shipping container!
Elsewhere on site, supports and track for the first drop have been installed. This is the beginning of the end for the construction of Hyperia. Although we are probably weeks away from the ride being finished.
The track for the dive stall and Immelmann has also been installed over the past few days. It would also appear that brackets for more trim brakes can be seen coming out of the inversion.
At the station building, work continues on adding theming. And it would small window has been installed. Possibly for the operator's cabin? Supports for the track going into the maintenance building are still a work in progress. A cross beam connecting the two supports is currently being built. Later in our small trip down monks walk we did see them start to pour concrete into the form.
Pipes for cables can be seen being laid at the brake run. It would also appear that golf brackets for cables have been fitted on the brake run.
Fantastic progress in such a short space of time. We can’t wait to ride this rollercoaster very soon.
