I know everybody has been waiting for a new photo update. Today I got a chance to stop by and take some more shots thanks again to MIA.
The Entrance, this will eventually say ThunderHawk.
Thunderhawk Store, coming along quite nicely.
Yet another shot of the store
Exit shot, including the walkway down
Another shot of the exit.

Another train shot
Finally, a random shot showing the carousel put together.
19 days until opening weekend!
Finally, less than one month to go until our favorite park is open again. I know several members have been asking for an update. The official site posted a great update on April 15, this can be found by click here.
I have not done any photo updates because there would not be anything additional to take pictures of, other than what the official site has already done. Not much going on right now other than getting the rides up and running.
This blog became real popular this past off-season due to my continued updates on Thunderhawk, thanks to everyone for pointing people to this site. Generally in the summer I don’t post much, but would still like to keep people interested in checking out the blog.
With that in mind, what would you like to see as far as updates during the summer? Pictures of various rides at MIA? Pictures from other parks? Please share your ideas of what you would be looking for. I will be visiting for sure, Cedar Point and MIA this year. I will probably be at MIA almost every weekend.
Took a drive by Michigan’s Adventure today and noticed many interesting things. First and foremost, it does not look like the trains are on-site yet for Thunderhawk, but I am sure they will arrive soon. Part of the track is still indeed yellow, as shown in the pictures below, and last but certainly not least, rides are starting to appear on the tracks! It’s a sign that opening day is soon to come!
From the picture below, looks like some work is being done to the trains for Wildcat.
Building work is still in progress for Thunderhawk’s station.
Here is the shot that shows some of the track is still yellow for Thunderhawk.
Zach Zoomer Trains are on the track and ready for testing.
Big Dipper Trains are on the track and ready for testing.
Giant Gondola’s are uncovered and ready to go on the Gondola Wheel
The chains are on for the Flying Trapeze
My Favorite Lift Hill
A little bit of work being done to Shivering Timbers?
In case no one has ever seen it, here is one of the cameras that takes your shot as you come down the last hill on Shivering before the Helix.
One last picture from today, a shot of Zach Zoomer’s Lift Hill.
Let me know what you think, only 41 days until the first weekend MIA is open. I am also planning a trip to Cedar Point on the 10th of May.
