 Alrighty, we finally have a construction update. The wind has calmed down and I was finally able to get the drone up and get some footage. So as I thought, not much has changed. I'm gonna go over some of the big changes though and some of the predictions that are going on currently based off of what I'm seeing. I do wanna take some time to stress that it's a little concerning seeing the parking lot filling up with cars already. Wonderland is about to go into their Halloween hot season and Wonderland's parking lot gets extremely full during Halloween hot and seeing this many cars filling up the parking spot for, I guess it's like rentals from the car dealerships just up the street. They buy property out of Wonderland's parking lot and stock their cars that they haven't sold yet there. I'm a little alarmed by that. I feel like that's a little concerning that so many spots are taken up and I don't know how it's gonna work for haunt. So I'm super curious about that because I think that's a very bad business move on the park to take up potential parking spots for guests for the Halloween hot nights. So I guess we'll see how that plays out but as you can see, not much going on on the construction site. So it looks like they're lifting in parts for the lift hill. So they're working on the lift hill a lot. It looks like they were installing any of the motors that weren't installed yet. So when we had our behind the scenes tour and got up close, we could tell that there were some parts that weren't fully installed yet. So maybe they're installing those with the downtime that they're currently experiencing. And as you can see, they have the drop completely built and ready to place. Now a lot of you might be going, why aren't they placing it? Well, as you can see, they're missing the actual crane that is responsible for installing the pieces of track and this one is actually just used for support and to place smaller objects onto the track pieces like the catwalks and other objects for the track pieces like the lift hill. So as you saw when the lift hill pieces went in, they actually had all the little details already installed on them. So that's kind of what that crane has been used for. It has not actually been used to install any of the track pieces to date. It has not installed a single track piece. The heavy duty crane, which is no longer on site, which should be coming back on site around Monday is my guess, is responsible for installing all the track pieces. Now, from what I understand, this crane can be used to install track pieces, but you're not going to see any track pieces installed this week. I guess from what I'm getting at is we will see more track pieces going up next week. I'm gonna double check tomorrow, but basically all you're gonna see is a lot of this prep work. You don't see any of the support columns on site yet for the drop and you don't see any column seven support structure there neither. And I can confirm that they will be building the drop and then connecting the rest of the lift and then they'll lift in that final piece up top for the pre-drop and all that as one massive piece like they did with Val Raven. If you watch any of the Val Raven construction timelapse videos, it's exactly how they built Val Raven. Now, there is no other interesting work going on around Wonderland. The only thing I've mentioned is the cars in the parking lot. There's lots of construction over there in the Timber Wolf Forest or I should say lack there of forest now. And as you can see, they're digging up the areas where there will be the coaster heading out of the tunnel. So it'll go into the Imelmann and then cross over Vortex. So lots of land clearing again going on to the sides of the tunnel. Again, those will be where the support combs for the Imelmann and then the passage out of the Imelmann into the zero G roll type elements on this coaster. Again, it's a very weird element. Other than that, next week should be very action packed in terms of construction updates. They have a ton of pieces already connected together. So as you can see, there are two, four, six, eight, about nine or 10 pieces they're waiting to go. And that means the lift could be completed within a week or the drop, I should say. And then they'll move on to completing the rest of the lift and the top portion, I guess you should say. So it looks like they have everything set up and they're ready to go in terms of everything. So once any delays are resolved, they'll move forward with construction. Again, delays are very common on construction projects. There's nothing to fret or be worried about. I'm assuming that maybe there's just a problem with one of the footers and they need to report and realign it in the tunnel. Again, a lot of the action seems to be around the tunnel. But these are all assumptions and nothing is concrete until the park says so. But that is my guess. There is something wrong with one footer and they're just quickly figuring it out. There's a reason that construction hasn't happened for about just over a week now. But nonetheless, we'll be there on Saturday in the park grabbing you an in-person construction update. There are no more vacations for me anytime soon. So I'll be there grabbing footage inside the park and I'll fly tomorrow just to grab some action shots of probably nothing going on. Again, nothing will probably be going on until next week. But anyways, I really appreciate you guys reaching out. A lot of you miss the construction updates and that means a lot to me. I do want to update you. So construction on the hotel will not start until next season. So a lot of you have been asking about that as well. So we won't see the start of construction for the hotel, but there are markers and lots of spray paint, definitely marking the ripping up of that road and having that kind of new entrance flow because the gates that blocks people from going in there during the off season is being pushed back. And then they have kind of like the road markings down the side and tree removal markings all over the place. Other than that, there's nothing else too exciting going on. I do want to slightly tease a couple of Wonderland videos since a lot of you on here do like Wonderland videos. We are working on one. So I do feel like I figured out the name for Vortex. So there will be a video on me explaining how Wonderland has revealed the name of Vortex already in a little bit of a teaser somewhere. So I will make my video on the Vortex name. That'll be out shortly. We just made our thumbnail for that. And I'm super excited about that because that's a really exciting video. And then we will be starting some ranking videos over some time. So stay tuned for things where I discuss which rides I think will be removed as we're seeing with King's Island. Parks are getting ready to remove their obsolete attractions or attractions that have high maintenance costs. We're going to see that at all the Cedar Fair Parks and I will give you my predictions on which rides I think we'll see going. I'll give you my top tens and I'll give you my top tens for the 2019 coasters. And now I just want you to know that in terms of all the coasters in North America don't expect the Yukon Striker to be too high up there. I don't want to offend anyone. But also I just realized that they're installing something on the lift there. You can see like a clear white line going. I didn't see that the first time I watched. I just see it now. So if you see off to the left of the right catwalk you can see this little white line going all the way down. I don't know if that's a lighting package or guardrails for the catwalks. It could be anything. You can't tell from this far away. I'll go check with my zoom camera on Saturday. Anyways, as always, thanks for watching my videos. Hit that like button, subscribe if you haven't and stay tuned for a lot more North American content. Thanks for watching guys. Have a good one. Bye.
