At this point it seems like most footers are done with a lot on the north side still needing to be poured. Seems like the drills have been pulled from the site, indicating that the task is up;

In other ongoing offseason projects, the local Planning Commission gave a recommendation to allow for the approval of 40 solar panel canopies in the parking lot; https://wgntv.com/news/north-suburb...hade-structures-in-great-america-parking-lot/

Really want to introduce you to GCI if you think turning in and out of a transfer area is 'wonky'

 

[Gazza]

Is this the first b&m with a turn out of the transfer (Im not counting air)

No no no just the entire thing is wonky. Need to be creative if you're going to fit so much coaster into a small piece of land.

There's a few actually, Patriot for example has its transfer before the final corner same as Oz'Iris, and Fury has it's transfer after the station.

No pics cuz I was driving, but I went past the park on the Tri-state this afternoon heading back to to the city from my sister's house and the lift hill appears to be about halfway up now.
