's been a little while since our last full update. We've added photos about every week or two but since I hate typing I've left out all of the juicy details. Today there was action all over the site. The station was getting it's red roof finished up, a chicken exit was being added and railing work was being done on the station entrance stairs. The photo hut has gotten some paint recently on the backside (It's kind of a greenish grey). The last two bents have been placed running out of the station. The outline for the queue is now visible and it will take up most of the flat ground to the left of the station (if you're looking at the entrance). Control panels for the station and transfer hut has been installed in the last couple of days. The sprocket at the base of the lift is in place and the trough and anti-rollbacks have been installed. We were told that the chain is onsite and it should be in dropped into place in the next couple of week. Track work was moving quickly along the 2nd drop and the transition into the final turn. This should also be wrapped up in the next couple of weeks, steel and all. Brake work has begun from the transfer shack to the station and the transfer shack got itself a fancy new compressor. The park is running out of room in the warehouse so the trains might see some daylight in the next couple of weeks. There is still a lot of work to do, mainly electrical and mechanical. Once the ride is handed over to the park they still have a lot of work to do as well. Fencing, queue, queue shades, lighting, landscaping, on-ride photo and testing. It also sounds as if the park has a couple of cool surprises still left of it's sleeves. Official Prowler Page
