RCDB now has this down as opening in 2023.

Can't say I'm surprised but it’s a shame it looks like it won’t be opening this year.

Are the frames for the walkways made out of wood?

Outerbanked hill is finished and the overall structure seems to be completed. There's still track to be installed on the double up and quad hills;

The outer banked looks very promising . What a pity we have to wait until next year to experience this.

I know 'clearance envelopes' can look deceptively small in photographs, even sometimes in the flesh... but that^ 2nd picture?
I just cannot for the life of me fathom how an RMC train full of riders (most of whom will have their arms in the air) is gonna fit through that narrow tunnel of metal beams. Not possible.

Nothing in the picture to give scale.



Easy to forget just how big the track is.

Work on the station is coming along:

i don't think that's something that should ever need an apology

 

[Projektion]

AF1 has started testing

 

[Hyde]

Looks slow.

 

[CoasterHour]

Y'all realize this is one of its first test runs in the middle of winter right? It'll be running much better in a little while.

Do a quick "looks slow" keyword search through the upper right search bar, and you'll quickly spot the tradition.

Nice seeing the added vantage of the back-half of the ride - that is especially intriguing for me to see how much steam will carry through, especially for the barrel roll and final airtime hills. Definitely all looks promising on these first few runs!
