After taking a close look at the images in the blog post horsesboy shared, I am beginning to think that maybe the Candy Apple Grove renovations are still on the table. Despite a slow start and zero word from the park, it looks like construction on the "mystery building" is finally underway.
Take a close look at the image below. There are construction markers and stakes lining a rectangle that begins roughly twenty feet away from Delirium's mechanical shed, and continues towards the camera and out of the frame. The markers are definitely in the correct location and shape to be the building proposed by the site plans that KDFans shared oh so long ago.
Similarly, in this image, the ground is noticeably dug up just beyond Delirium's pendulum. Notice how the dirt is freshly dug here, and how it is in the exact location of the proposed building.
On a rather unrelated note, it appears Delirium's queue will be located directly on the former site of Shockwave's helices. This finally explains why there there were no structures proposed for this area on the plans KDFans shared last summer.
Also, note the retaining wall that is being built between Delirium and the woods.
Is anyone else surprised by how large this attraction is? I wasn't quite expecting something of such magnitude. It will certainly pop as the centerpiece of Candy Apple Grove.
Now, let's just cross our fingers that Delirium will be joined by the host of other renovations that were proposed for Candy Apple Grove this season.
