Stopped by today and got a lot more photo’s for everybody to view. Please continue leaving comments.
Special thanks once again to Michigan’s Adventure in letting me take more photos.
This first photo is my favorite, both Wildcat and Thunderhawk shadows in the lake.
Here is another shot from across the lake showing construction of the station cover.
More construction shots
This one shows the spare train track.
I will post more later today or tomorrow.
Finally, a picture to put the “new midway” rumors to rest. I think it’s pretty clear now that Thunderhawk is too close to the train for a new midway to go there.
Nice photos Mark, glad to see everything’s coming along very nicely.
Jon, it is possible for them to put a track crossing. So I wouldn’t exactly say it’s put to rest. I actually think theres still some room between the last turn into the station and the tracks.
Mark, great update! Are those queue lines in the second picture or just construction rails? I wonder if MiAdv plans on cementing over the metal water barriers like the rest of the lakes barriers. The transfer track is really close to the midway, I wonder if they plan on putting a building around it. Please post the rest of your pictures as fast as possible.
I’d say it’s put to rest, or we’d see construction on it. Any kind of construction, really, and nothing is going on. As much as people would love it to be in place for 2008, I strongly feel that riding the train is still going to be the faster option this summer.
No building on the transfer table, either, or, once again, you’d see construction on the same timetable as the station.
I heard the new pathway will be between the lakewall and the drop similar to what Raptor has with people walking beside it. Theres plenty of room and another great view to walk next to the lake and the new ride.
^ Are you tallking the Thunderhawk line or a new path behind Wolverine Wildcat?
How else are you going to get to the loading station.
