What a great, unique perspective on the progress thus far! Gives a great idea of how the coaster fits with its surroundings too. Glad to see a notable treeline remains along the entrance area. Thanks for sharing @Flyin Phil!
Love to see how quickly this thing is goin' up.

Do we know if trains are on-site yet? Can't wait to see this thing testing.

This coaster looks fantastic. I'm looking forward to testing videos. Jersey Devil didn't excite me enough to come visit (though when I do I'll certainly give it a shot), but the Super Boomerang definitely does. I hope the waits aren't too crazy.

Does anyone find it kinda concerning that we are getting close to August and the only think we had heard about it is the logo emblem has arrived and nothing for the rest of the construction (station foundations grouting in supports, train on-site)
This is kinda normal for six flags for some reason. West coast racers took the whole year to get built and the water coaster getting built at (other SF park) is also a while until it finishes.
The track itself is complete. Considering how fast everything started going up in May, I am a little surprised that we haven't seen any hint of trains yet. This is the only thing I'm aware of that they've done in terms of testing:

They've also been evening out the land plot a bit (photos from 7/5).

Oh great, rocks & mulch! Still haven't actually bolted the darn ride to the foundations or done any grouting, so testing definitely won't be imminent.... but I suppose that's progress.
In watching KD build their ride, I have forgotten multiple times that this ride is supposed to open this year. Ridiculous that this is 'just how it is' now.

I suspect with former corporate Cedar Fair taking over we should see an improvement on project timing like this based on their track record.
Yeah, they could hire Zamperla to finish it on schedule.
