Looks like it is finally going up faster. They need this to be done before memorial day so I can ride it.

Track is here, and the trench is hollowed out, and looks great!

That would be pretty sweet though. Hanging out on top of a coaster's structure.

So excited for this to open, and the track looks nice already.

So happy I can go ride (but also look at) this thing whenever I want.

Some photos from the ACE construction tour which was held on the 8th. More track has also been placed!

The old Iron Wolf station will be the storage area for the trains

Oooohh...

Here's a closer look at the track.

It seems like this guy can't stop looking at the structure. I'd be looking at the ride all day if I were that close...

Nice juicy airtime <3

FYI - Upstop Media is my buddy Scott Shaffer (not ACE). He's the photographer/videographer for SFGAm World and has access to every Goliath construction tour. For those that want to keep up with everything Goliath, I recommend liking Upstop Media's facebook page (Sanchezmran posted the link).

Also, Iron Wolf's station will be used as the station for the ride itself, the storage tracks will be a separate shed.

Thought they'd stated that the storage track is under the station.

My bad, didn't catch that.
