The first half of the batwing is near enough in place.

[lewis97]

A bit more of the Batwing has gone up, as well as a support for the second vertical loop...

^Actually, it's not a batwing. It's a Pretzel Knot, an element that was only used once before on Moonsault Scramble. 

Difference being that the 2 'half-corkscrews', cross paths, instead of remaining independent of one another.

[lewis97]

Fair enough. Today track has gone up for the entrance of the second vertical loop...

Just been on the live view cam and it seems to be covered. However when I went to their twitter they have just tweeted a picture of snow covering the park and construction site. I wouldn't of thought any track would go up today but we shall see

There's also this one, which shows the area of the track that is currently going up.



And this image from KI's Facebook.

More track is up for the exit of the pretzel loop, as well as a few supports for the exit of the second vertical loop.

[lewis97]

Over the past few days more track has gone up, including on the exit of both the pretzel loop and second vertical loop.



Here's an image from Twitter.



Station construction

[lewis97]

Pretzel loop is complete, and about half of the second vertical loop is up.

Construction on the roof of the station is underway, in this photo from KI's twitter.



Currently the second vertical loop is being completed.

[lewis97]

Track for the bend up into the heartline roll is going up.

I just want to say thank you to Lewis for showing all these pics. This looks amazing

[lewis97]

Currently the webcams aren't very good for seeing construction progress, however here's an image from KI's twitter.

[SwEDEN]

How long until track construction will be completed? They really are going at quite a rate.... Looking forward to testing

[SamTP]

just seen this!

[Danny]

So just a small update the he next drop has been complete as well as some supports

[lewis97]

A couple of images from King Island's twitter page; One showing the second half of the track, including the newly erected heartline and entrance to the final helix, and the other looking at the inside of the station.

[lewis97]

Track is nearing completion as more of the final helix is now up. Also there's an image from Kings Island's FB page showing the station exterior.

That looks like it could possibly have a church themed building :sus:
