... Isn't this meant to open in five weeks haha.

Just doesn't seem like it's actually moving overly fast now?

Edit - Actually, I presume the snowy photos are a bit older?
 
Every time an enthusiast is going to a park they look around the park at the terrain and dream of everything that could be built.

In this coaster it feels like a lot of that dreaming have been heard!

The snow pics are actually rather recent. The midwest really had its first snows in the last few weeks. This won't be open even if those pics were from the first snow, it really won't be open in the next 2 months anyway. I think DWood doesn't open until April anyway.. I think. It best be open by then though as I'm going to Dollywood the 2nd week of April. :)

When I was there around Christmas and saw the progress on the coaster I thought the same thing myself. I would have expected track-work completed before the end of December to leave time for dialing in the launch system and commissioning.

I posted the question on the DW Facebook page and it never got answered.

DW just posted this some pictures on their FB page on Feb.11. Looks like the quad down isn't even complete yet.
 
They posted today that the last bent has gone in which I think means all the supports are in?

So shouldn't be too much longer now tbf.

Still it's crazy to think how soon this will open! Urgh I want it.
 
Seems like they're right on track to open this on time! Ugh, it's so weird to think I'll be riding this in a little over a month! Bae and I are heading down for the event that weekend!
 
Shameless plug, we are having a live there, be there June 14 and park is open til 10pm. You know what that means?

Night rides. Yes.

As a season pass holder, I'll be there! Wild Eagle is pretty amazing in the dark as well.

Back to topic, RMC's Instagram says they hope to be testing this week and everything is on schedule.
 
^Screenshot? I'm trying to see if this will be open in time for the event and we want to make sure we should register. We can't find anything on their Instagram about it being on schedule.
 
I remember seeing something on there about testing Valentines weekend (or just after). They must have taken it down... uh ohh
