I've literally only seen that rumor in two places: Bio on Twitter as speculation, and @TheWalkingDad on here. Not saying it's not gonna happen on the 4th, but I just don't see why they'd do it to be honest. If the coaster was announced, maybe. I just don't see them doing anything with any iota of pomp and circumstance for something they don't admit exists. But, I've been wrong before, and don't mind being wrong again.Its not the 4th!!!
Oh I was mainly joking regarding that rumor hahaha but who knows maybe it is what they'll doI've literally only seen that rumor in two places: Bio on Twitter as speculation, and @TheWalkingDad on here.

I'll never forget following all that at work... wow time flies. Remember it was just the body and no wings so it looked so oddly skinny.Well, they fly in the Dragon on a Sat. specifically for the social media "OMGs".
Not going to share said video on here, but I've noticed a trend in people taking pictures and videos inside the park of Velocicoaster over the construction barriers. Is this not frowned upon anymore?
I have been noticing the same thing. No it is not allowed. And good thinkin' on not posting it here.Not going to share said video on here, but I've noticed a trend in people taking pictures and videos inside the park of Velocicoaster over the construction barriers. Is this not frowned upon anymore?

The walls Universal uses are at least 7ft tall. 98% of the time, the only way to see over them is to do the nonsensical things you described.You don't want people who are being sensible to take a picture over a wall? Build a taller wall. You left a door open? Your bad.
If people do non-sensical things like standing on benches, going off marked paths, or other unsafe/not allowed things, then yeah, do something about them.
I've never come remotely close to posting a construction shot here or anywhere, but my thoughts are this:
Walls exist to keep people out, not prohibit them from seeing things. The reason they use solid wood instead of something like scrimmed chain link is 1) it's harder to scale, 2) looks cleaner and 3) sturdier.

It was happening with selfie sticks.The solid walls also stop the construction workers feeling like they're inside a zoo exhibit.
It wouldn't be difficult to lift your arm up and easily look over a 7ft wall with your camera or phone.
edit: just to point out, I’m not endorsing this idea, just that it can be easily done.

I am quite certain they are off-the-shelf 4’x8’ sheets of plywood with 1”x4” trim board for strength. No cutting necessary except for custom connections.
The construction walls are actually pretty nice for this project.
Looks like a solar powered light in each vertical support.
Well the fact that there's now a crane capable of lifting the top hat in place...it very well could happen, if not a little bit earlier than my friend at universal creative told me. But it's not really all that surprising. It could have a topping off ceremony on the fourth. Crane is in place and all they gotta do is get the track in position to lift it up.
