My little update video from today. You won’t have to watch me eat a walking taco or show you other unnecessary things…just a construction update

i get the feeling they're trying to get the "in the path" footers done before summer, then fence them off and reopen the paths for summer.
Then build everything post Haunt.
Or am i totally reading the situation wrong?

More likely to do with the fact that once the park is open during the week, they won't have access to those areas. After May, they'll probably shift their focus to the backstage areas they can access while the park is open.
Yeah I would point to the impact that Tempesto and Pantheon construction had on operations at BGW as an example. Everything I see points to them trying to finish work that will be in areas that would require ride closers now before they get to full week operations.
It makes total sense for everything already mentioned and even more, helps establish “normal operations” for the guest experience, give the most seen landscaping time to recover, hurry up and get the parts of construction over that have the most effect on guest safety. Try to get all of that done before “peak season”.
I don’t know for sure as this the first coaster construction project I have got to follow along. But it seems like a lot of the fence will stay up for the suspense for the average park goer. I assume sane people don’t do everything possible to see over the fences like all of us on here.

What if I wanted to see how good the walking taco is, though?
Charging $12 for such a thing is a slap in the face. It’s served out of a bag of chips, its cheapness is baked in.
For some reason I am puzzled by what a bag of chips has to do with our new Winged coaster or is that the theme?
See Haunted River's post above with the video. We are just having some fun. Back to the wing coaster now.
Hey if that’s your thing then he is your man for that
I try to do a little better for myself than stuffing my face with complete junk then posting it for the world to see 
Especially since they just rebranded a common mexican street food dish that is usually like $1.5, slapped the name 'walking taco' on it and then charged 8x the price. anyways, i think we're getting a bit too offtrack here ...
Introducing the newest B&M coaster at Kings Dominion, the Walking Taco Coaster.

Track staging area in the parking lot remains empty as of this evening.
If this is for the wing I will be so happy they didn’t go with that annoying orange color.
A notably different shade of green, though, and Tumbili's most visually noticeable parts (imo) are the bamboo supports. I think they'd stand apart fairly well.
imagine if the supports were painted to look like tree trunks so that the track segments that go over the midway look like jungle canopy. (ignore the crude mock up)
