Station Work...Diamondback Lives On!

It's been a long time since our last post, but lots have happened. Last Wednesday, workers at the hard hat site had attached blue tarp around the station to help the station become warm when they fill the cement. They finally filled the station with cement on 12/4. The hammerhead has not yet being installed as workers are working on the splash section and the station. Don Helbig delayed the final construction finishing date to around the beginning of January. The trains for the coaster have been spotted on-site last Sunday.
