Construction updates (First day back)

It’s the first day back for the February Thrill Chill, and just one month till SAW opens as well as the park’s main start of the 2009 season. Saturday 14th February 2009 – The site has had some major progress since I last saw it. The cars were running most of the day but only took 2 videos of the cars going down the drop, and not as many pics of the site that I normally take as the Canada creek section and Colossus area was shut most off the day.
See Pictures or Video. (Got to have a photobucket account to view the pics sorry, but the video shows it all)

From what I saw the ride entrance frame was up. Lots of paving has been put down, and the island is getting island off and the bridge to it is starting to get
constructed as well as the 2nd path heading down to the Crust snacks bar. The head chopper effect has got even more spikes and more theming added on to it.

Someone from a fan forum confirms that the head chopper blades will be spinning on the ride’s main drop and also there will be a part of the ride’s queue that goes past a body that is bleeding and shoots out warm blood when guests walk past it, (Sounds very spooky) I guess only time can tell.
