I think this might be the speed slide featured in the volcano?
Speed slide? There will be a few drop tubes in the volcano. Perhaps 5-7. I believe they are all single drop tubes and they will drop in a few very different directions/angles.

This is from February this year before construction really started. Just a hunch but is that the shape of the volcano?
Would be cool if they use clear plastic tubes.Speed slide? There will be a few drop tubes in the volcano. Perhaps 5-7. I believe they are all single drop tubes and they will drop in a few very different directions/angles.

Should be plenty of time really, especially since the slides themselves should be pretty straightforward and there probably won't be a whole lot of complicated ride technology to deal with. Will be interesting to see how the volcano gets build!Is this still scheduled to open in about 18 months?

Are they having to build multiple reservoirs underground or are these very deep basement foundations filter and pump rooms? Mystified.
The following is looking south, turkey is far right just next to this other foundation.

Theoretically, less than that... It is beginning to look a bit dicey. They aren't even close to sculpting the thing. How many months was expedition everest sitting there being sculpted? I probably have a photo record myself, let me check.
June 2004, steel frame nearly completed
Oct. 2004 steel mostly finished, interior sculpting in progress
Nov. 2005 sculpt and painting finished
Hmm...
I wasn't able to get pics of this yesterday - but while I was driving down Turkey Lake; I saw good-sized tubing sticking up from the ground near that small building on the right of the property.
Every time I drive by this site I hope to see some serious steel stretching into the sky...seems they're taking forever to really get the vertical construction going...
Curious when we'll see more concept artwork too.
I think so too, in a few months it'll be: where did all this come from? Then another couple of months later: OMG ... then by the end of 2016 ...I imagine there is a lot more going on than what we're seeing. Once it goes vertical, it will move at a frantic pace and then we play the waiting game again.
It's hard to believe that bit of artwork came out about 7 months ago.
