Once the track is installed what am I going to watch obsessively?

Getting ever so closer...I wouldn't be surprised if they finished it by the end of this week.
EDIT: Tony says there are only four pieces left. I'm counting two more on the site, waiting to be lifted.

Tony will probably say something on twitter regarding the last piece. They did it for the lift hill, why not the final piece?

There will probably be a Periscope when the last piece is going in.

Unless Tony moves the camera, I'm guessing we will be able to watch the clearance check and test runs in the next few weeks.

Test runs should be starting around the first week of April. Clearance pull through should begin in about 3 weeks.

I think it's a safe bet that the camera will be moved away for a few days surrounding the first test run, as was done with both Gatekeeper and Rougarou.

Do B&Ms do pull-throughs? I know Intamins do (because Intamin) but I don't recall ever seeing pictures of a B&M having it done.

I'm pretty sure all rollercoasters have to do them so that they ensure nothing will impact the trains or riders.

Too bad there isn't another tour coming up. I know! We could call it the Spring Fling!

They don't do pull throughs with a train but they have to check all the low clearance areas with a gauge made by B&M. They did it with Banshee, TBird and Fury. I'd say they will do the same with Valravn. I can't post pictures on my phone but I'm sure you could Google it to fine one.

They should definitely complete the track today, they only have one more piece!
