track being installed next to escalators as we speak. This side will need to put track on lower supports before putting in taller supports. To make sure track isn’t damaged. Should see the dip out of the first launch going down and to the left installed this week. Then to the taller supports
Wow! Awesome! Just a bummer they are doing so much of this work at night when I can't be there. I'll be there tomorrow and can't wait to see all the progress. Thanks for the heads up!
@@AmericasCoasterNetwork yea track and support people work from 4-12:30 to be out of the heat right now. But they won’t do work near escalators with anyone in park so those days are ot and starts around 11. 4-6 is the sweet spot before lower lot closes if you want to see track and supports go via crane being in the air the placed next to footers. Then smaller white and blue crane takes over. The support going on the opposite side of the tallest support on the other side of the escalators will be about 15ft taller.
@5:57 there are a couple of new supports there. Also the square footings are for more speed or high stress areas. Looking at the preview it’s a launch section to the lower portion
@@AmericasCoasterNetwork yes. they are there. It was some that looked complete but had 2-3 legs like the escalator supports. The escálator supports are now done completely
You're welcome. Thanks for watching. I didn't have the chance to make it out to the Frankenstein parking structure this time. So not sure if anything else was staged.
I was thinking that like it’s huge track like x2 wonder if it’s basically the same system but instead of flips it’s control drifts cool so hyped to see that loop finished 🔥
The place is looking like Raiders of the Lost Ark with all those trenches and ladders! Enjoy the NorCal parks! Be sure and do Medusa and Joker. I think Medusa is better than Scream imo.
Haha! I was kinda thinking that too! And it'll the my first time back to NorCal parks since 2016. I'm looking forward to Railblazer. I'll get on Joker and Medusa too. Joker was new when I last rode and I didn't think it was that great for an RMC. But I heard it started running after in the years to follow. Also, Medusa is absolutely better than Scream. Funny how nobody mentions how it's also a parking lot coaster. I'll be vlogging too.
@@AmericasCoasterNetwork Railblazer is fun, just short! It packs a punch though! Definitely do Batman too! The Freespins are crazy and random. There is great floater airtime on Medusa that you just don’t get on Scream and a couple unique elements including the sea serpent roll.
@@AmericasCoasterNetwork Universal has housing for anyone working on the park property. In fact, it’s part of the tram tour. The houses belonged to famous directors, producers, actors, and musicians. Workers who do overnights are allowed to stay on the housing premises under strict supervision of the park management. Most likely the construction workers get free room and board, while working on the park. Food is probably provided as well. Remember that this park also acts as an actual movie studio, so there are always non crew members around the park who provide food and other needs for the workers at the park.
How big this project is Magic Mountain better be cooking up something massive if they wanna contend with which is going to be the best new coaster in SoCal for 2025/26.

There’s that word again 😂
Boooiiingg!
@@AmericasCoasterNetwork 😂
I get erections seeing new supports
He likes the “E” word!
Lol what word? 😂
@1:17 you are correct. It connects to the largest one. And the big 3 are all tied together at the top

Are there? I didn't notice. With so much going on, sometimes I miss stuff.

That incline dive loop is looking so badass, I can't wait to see how big it is when complete!
You and me both!
U have the best updates. Thanks for doing it .
Aw thank you! And sure thing!
Great video. Just gained a subscriber 🤙🤙
Much appreciated! Glad you liked the video! Thanks for watching and subscribing! ☺️
The concept video of the coaster by AmusementInsider seems pretty accurate to where the current supports and track are seen today
Absolutely! I'll sometimes watch the video back when I'm in the park just to clear things up in terms of what I'm looking at.
@@AmericasCoasterNetworksadly I look too often 😂
Mangled supports? What happened that I missed?
I misspoke and added a text correction to that part. Mangled footings.
@@AmericasCoasterNetworktime stamp?
Excellent update!
Thank you! Much appreciated! 😊
Love that title
Thank you for the update
You bet! Thanks for watching!
YAAAY, MORE DRIFTYYYYYYY
Ha I love that nickname!
The title is back 🥳🎉
😁
Thanks for the update! Was there supports being staged by the Frankenstein parking lot?
You're welcome. Thanks for watching. I didn't have the chance to make it out to the Frankenstein parking structure this time. So not sure if anything else was staged.
It's looking good
Let’s goooo 🎉🎉🎉
The title once again is back once again!
Love The Title;)
I still can't believe this isn't a 2025 ride!
I feel that way sometimes. But there's still a ton of work left.
A good channel name for coaster construction videos would be "Coaster Erections"

Lol! Joker is not great for an RMC, but it’s maybe the best in the park! Great first drop and right into an overbanked inversion.
I always wonder what the construction workers eat for lunch? I wonder if Universal provides them lunch.
Hmm. Good question. Maybe there's one watching this video who can answer that? 😂

Yeah, I hope whatever Magic Mountain does is epic! I can't wait to follow that project again whenever it starts up.
Not again! What are you doing to my pure soul 😭

I have a crush on you ;)
