While 20 million does sound overpriced, you have to remember the site the ride sits on was concrete, and this had to be removed before construction started. Waste removal isn't a cheap business .The 2 holes the cobra roll sit in won't have been cheap to dig either, due to having to get rid of...

It needs to be painted, the station needs to be finished, it wouldn't surprise me if all the queue line fencing needs to be installed. I will probably have a drive up in a couple of weeks to see if work on it has started again.
