Iowa RoadTrip early May for me and my son

Now the only thing to do is sit back and watch the area develop. I.e, watching grass grow, cement dry, etc. lol

Maybe do some on the concrete pouring of the midway or the completion progress on the station/on ride photo building.

We got a glance of how the photo building will look from Tony's latest tweet. Looks like there will be a nice overhang type thing for lockers or just chilling https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Cci160iW0AE8WYW?format=pjpg&name=large

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

Well, there is always the activity of counting cars leaving the point. I just counted a line of seventy cars driving by cedars and down the causeway. An employee orientation must have just let out.

That line of cars happens daily. I've been noticing that all off season.

If it was between 3 and 4 it was most likely the Maintenance staff leaving for the day.

Tunnel and splashdown confirmed!

I did not attend WCO, but the drone footage in that video really gives me a sense of how massive Valravn really is. It's going to be a very intimidating coaster that's for sure.

First ever in-line urinals.

I'd take that over themeing anyday!

Maybe cool lighting or projected images of birds swirling around the queue like they do in Halloweekends with the images projected on the midway
