Project 2017: InvadR

[Kyle]

Anyone see the Snapchat they released showing some of the construction on the station and tunnel?

YES!! They started the vertical construction a lot sooner in the week than I was told. They also made it really far into construction, it's only been two days since the workers got back onto the site.

If we don't have a lot of weather complications do ya'll think we could possibly see InvadR open for PMPD?

As an architect, I love seeing the construction photos. It amazes me how precise they have to get most of the concrete work in order for everything to work out correctly in the end. I know they have a little play with connections, but for the most part, elevation and grades have to be pretty spot on.

Perhaps with the upcoming forecast this was there way of staying ahead of the curve. Whether there agenda is to aim for a PMPD opening/media event is still an unanswered question...to my knowledge at least.

The new president of Sea World has said he wants all parks to push for really spring openings of new attractions company wide. So it seems likely that that is there goal. But he made that statement in the spring so Invader's timelune may predate those plans. Also be warned the winter forcast is for a bad winter so even if that is there goal they might not be able to meet it.

Here's a couple of other shots from the 1st to go along with Kyle's.

I'm surprised no one has posted this yet, but Busch Gardens posted a new construction update!

I couldn't get the best shots of the new construction on account of the rain, but here's what I do have!

These were in the rain on Saturday

Hopefully I'll visit the park this weekend since the storm has stopped.

Apologies for the double post, but here's another pic.

Also, would it be possible for some staff member to link posts to huge to info (like the plans) to the front post for easy access?

I've said it time and time again, but this is going up much faster than I anticipated! Super exciting!

 

[Lord Robert]

UGH. Well due to me arriving late today (the park crowds were fully packed) I guess I'll wait to see Howl-O-Scream and progress on Invadr soon.

Spied this log cabin looking structure yesterday. Don't recall seeing it before.

 

[Thomas]

I'm pretty sure that will be the on-ride photo booth.

 

[cdchen83]

Any more photos from anyone? I currently plan to go to the park Sunday at some point. Hopefully I get some updated shots as they would have had a week of weather you just can't beat. I'm kind of excited to see how far they have progressed.
