I have a small update for everyone, as you can see the ride is pretty much finished. Not much to post update wise, when pieces are up. I hope to get some pictures from inside in the next few weeks again.
Here is shot from beyond Shivering.
Another shot from the same location.
One last picture showing the staging area for pieces of track, they are all gone!
Michigan’s Adventure is having a charity auction with all proceeds going to our local Red Cross of Michigan. 40 people will be awarded the first ride based on the highest bid. The first ride will be on Wednesday, May 14th. This charity auction is really a great thing as they are many people in need of assistance in our state in these times.
