A view of the construction so far. Photo taken from near the Carousel.

This view from deep in the park gives some reference to Talon's location. In the front of the photo is the Frozen Yogurt stand, behind that, the Pizza stand and behind that, part of the Muzik Express. Talon may look small from here, but be assured it is not.

This shows most of what is complete to date. The entire lift hill is tracked.

The walkways are also partially completed under the lift hill.

A footer has recently been poured. The bolts are connected to the metal plate to hold them in place while the concrete dries. The threads are covered with tape for protection.

Another view of the construction area, brake run on the left, station and lift hill on right.

This view of the brake run shows the track is in place as well as the floor.

Wide view of the turn out of the brake into the station and lift hill (right).

Another view from the lift hill side.

The lift hill from the Wildwater Kingdom side of the ride.

Another view.

The huge footers for the Immelmanm are taking shape.

A view just to the left of above shows the upper part of the park.

The turn from the brake run (right) to the station. Wildwater Kingdom would be to the left.

The brake run as seen through the supports for the turn.

Lift hill supports. Clean and Elegant.

A couple more supports arrive.

The lift hill as seen from the season pass parking lot.

Supports and more supports fill the season pass parking lot.

More steel.

Here we find a loop.

That sure is a pretty tall lift hill. Again, note the interesting supports.

Especially from directly under it.

A piece is being lifted from the truck over Wildwater Kingdom to the construction area.
