^Doesn't sound too good, I really hope your exaggerating! I still have a feeling that the tunnel may be painted and have details or effects added in later. And thanks ahead for the pictures

So for the concrete on Vortex's stairs, is it not even smoothed over?

There is still A LOT to do with landscaping and finishing touches around Leviathan.

I hope the test dummies arms don't fall off in the tunnel like they did on the swarm :lol:

^ You do know that was just a publicity stunt, right?

I think we can be sure no dummy arms will NOT be coming off on this ride. (they don't even have arms!)

I for one hope the tunnel isn't just sheet metal. I guess we'll find out soon enough. :yes:

You guys are complaining about stairs... pathetic.

by **DantheMan** » May 01, 2012 7:08 pm

It isn't pathetic. The fact is that it DOES look sloppy. Hopefully they will do a little cleanup work now. There is certainly still opportunity to tie up the loose ends.

Trust me guys when I say this, from Sunday April 22 to Friday April 27, the construction crew managed to do:
-Almost the whole Leviathan fountain
-The whole midway interlocking
-Place all rails
-Finish up the Arcadeum
-Finish up the railing in the station
-Place all the bins at Leviathan
-Paint all of the wood in the station and stair way
-Place vegetation
They had a handful of things to do before SPPN. I was actually surprised that the FastLane Lanes where actually done for most rides. Don't get all upset, I'm sure they will continue working on them and many other landscaping needs.

They'll probably clean it up. It seemed that the park wasn't completely prepared for SPPN, as several rides were down and some of the landscaping was unfinished. They likely spent most of their time getting Leviathan ready for the big day. So far I have been pleasantly surprised with CW this year, I'm sure they can keep it up!

I for one am happy that they constructed merge points, and didn't make FL an exit pass.

They should totally add a huge lake/pond beneath the turnaround. It's not like we can walk there anymore. That'll up its Goliath at SFoG quotient a little bit too.

As ugly as it looks, I'm sure it will be better than nothing. The headchopper effect looks like it will be unreal!

by **Psyclone** » May 02, 2012 7:04 pm

I thought it was going to be worse. I'm sure they'll give it some sort of look at the end of it all. I'm positive those ground wires are not there just because they randomly decided to make a foundation with wires running through it.

Oh good! It doesn't look as bad as I thought it would. It actually looks pretty decent for a generic tunnel.
