I think this ride was closed around 6 PM on Friday (the 12th), as I could see it on the Skyride and no one was in line, no trains moving, nothing.
Griffon

I want to throw out there that everyone should try to ride Griffon at night during HOS. In my opinion it is best view of "Paris Burning" in the park. Better than the Skyride. When you get to the first drop, look at Aquitaine. It looks really cool.
Also, I haven't seen any wasps this year! Maybe they have figured out how to keep them from swarming up there. On the Roller Coaster Tour, they told us that something in the machinery attracts them, and last HOS they made the turn-around at the top of Griffon the scariest place in the park.

There were yellow jackets when around when we rode it on Saturday Nicole- trust me, they seemed to be rather interested in me... :shocked:

Luke's images should be the image at the top of each coaster's page.

There are no bee issues, there are wasp issues.
Here's an explanation of the reason for the park's wasp issues.

Found some cool construction photos on Coaster-net.

Here are a few....
And this one peaked my interest. You can see the station of LeMans Raceway, but in front of the building that is now the gift shop there are yellow canopy tables.
I just find this very cool. Anyone have insight/memory of what the deal with this "plaza" was before Griffon was built?

That reminds me.
Zach,
Wasn't there plans at some point to upload all the BGEscape Griffon construction photos?

I agree. Looking back at the photos where land clearing was just beginning, the France hamlet looks so much better. A lot less going on, and just all around beautiful.
