Steelwork Arrives

The entrance to Ug Land, soon to look very different once steel is erected.

A section of track, probably the brake run, lies flat awaiting installation.

The company responsible for Rita's construction.

A close-up look at the track.

Some supports, which are a dark brown colour. Corkscrew's supports are a similar shade of brown.

More track awaiting installation. Notice the white stripes along the track, similar to how Spinball Whizzer looks.

A large truck carrying more brown supports.

Could this large support be for the launch section of track?

Some more hefty supports.

Another shot of track and supports from a different angle.

Ug Land's entrance. The ground may well have new brickwork for the new ride.

More track sections in the area next to Hex.

Track and supports in Fountain Square.
