I think more progress is being made throughout the day. The track progressed further when I first passed by the area at 11:25AM, and a bit more by the time I passed through again at 1:43PM

Think I owe some influencers an apology, that kind of speed actually is relatively 'unreal' compared to the last few months of progress.

The day after someone says this thread is dead....Universal is for sure reading the posts here or just insane timing

Yeah I don’t understand where the speed on this project is lol. This thread and influencer construction updates have been dead because the site has looked the same for awhile. Still though, it’s cool to see track go up finally.
What are the pieces hanging down from the track? Never seen those before.
Ooh thank you! I was so confused by them.
Makes sense - I just can’t say I’ve seen them before, maybe as generally the drive motors aren’t usually so high up in full view? I dunno- new to me!

I'm kinda confused as to why they are installing track when this has been delayed until 2026.
Anyone heard any more news on where the problem is? Guessing foundations on the hillside rather than anything station related.

Terrain is a nightmare to build on. I imagine that this coaster will be undergoing extensive testing as well, being a prototype Intamin and all.
Could you imagine the backlash Universal would get if this pulled a Hyperia/Top Thrill 2?

I'm really hoping 2026 was just a generous estimate like how 2025 is the Epic open time and now it'll likely open before the original summer 2025, but yeah I can see this creating a lot of issues if it doesn't work out. Building it on the hillside and having this prototype, plus it being the first real thrill ride to Hollywood means they'll need it to be perfect. Still, a year and a half seems like a lot for it.
Also good to bring up they've yet to carve out the bottom of the hill yet I think; as it seems there'll be a lot of heavy moving required for the dive loop/tunnel/half pipe section alongside the road that seemingly will be added to get rescue vehicles able to go over there encase.
Think 2026 is honestly fair and expected.
Via a friend of mine: track has been installed for nearly the entire length of the station portion of the coaster.

I am so hyped for this ride. It will be the closest “big” rollercoaster besides mummy to me.
Agree with you guys that 2026 just feels like so much time.

They started to do a lot of work for the station area. It seems like the hillside is why this is gonna take till 2026
