Has anyone seen or heard about any construction on IJ of latly. I think i heard they were suppose to start construction a couple weeks ago, but have heard nothing about progress.

Just wondering if anyone knows anything

The is orange spray paint painyed all over the old site I dont know if it is for the layout or footers placement and the tiques cars are no longer there and there draining the lake!

Well I kept tabs on the Antique Cars site all last week.

Last Tuesday night some surveyors were on the site, going to different areas.

I didn't notice anything going on Wednesday, there was still some cars left in the station.

On Thursday constructions signs went up near the entrance and on the fence. The cars were gone, and from what I heard are stacked up behind the games buildings in Coney Mall.

There was two workers in there using cutting torches to dismantle the queue lines, and were stacking them up on skids. When I left Friday morning the queue lines were completely removed, but that's all I really noticed in terms of construction.

The concrete track remains as well as the steel guide bar in the centre of it. I also didn't notice any clearing of landscaping, I am sure that will come soon as it looks like they just kicked it off construction on Thursday.

You haven't heard anything because there is nothing to report about. Spray paint and surveyors is nothing to write home about.

Give it some time and things will stop popping up. Things don't get built in a couple of weeks.

Sling Shot went up pretty fast.

SlingShot isn't spread out over a couple of acres of land...

I too saw the spray paint over by the old station, I thought it was interesting that there were only three (or four?) marks in that specific area, and nothing else. Oh well...

I'm sure there will be real construction reports once FearFest rolls along.

I am not going to be able to visit the park until next season (do to college) so I would appreciate if someone could post some pics. Thanks a TON!

THe metal rails are tore up by the station!!

They have drained the lake, and begin pulling up one peice of track, I'm sure by Saturday there will be alot more left.

Yeah, if you ride recaR you can see them neatly parked behind the Coney Mall Games. You can also see some of the fearfest stuff behind there.

Ok for one I'd have to say this is a stupid comment for the almighty Pat!

Slingshot is basically two big poles and you've got the structure done. I know you know that you know that Italian Job is going to take longer. They had nothing to take out for Slingshot; not to mention the complexity of the two rides are nowhere even close.

Ever heard of a joke?

leave him alone he wants to act like the big cool guy who makes fun of people

Old news.

Somebody call the Waaaaahmbulance! Haha! Thats hilarious. How did you get that instead of PKIU Lurker or PKIU Mod Squad or whatever? And whats with the spatula? Oh well.

Well anyway, I noticed that too, on Labor Day; the 6th of September I think. Its like somebody went in with a crow bar, and pulled up a foot or two of track and called it a day! No, but I do know they tore out the queue already, and that the cars themselves were behind the Skeeball arcade, as other people have posted on here already. I'm anxious to see what is done by fearfest! I know there wont be any track or anything, but I wonder if construction on the parking garage or aqueduct will have commenced.

And I wonder if we will be getting a new park map next year, or if they will just update the one we have already by drawing a totally inaccurate and goofy sketch of IJST in where the Tiques used to be.

I think we will get new maps, with the exact layout of IJST. I mean, look how they drew SOB, it is almost exact.

This just in; a shovel is on site!!!!!

Are you serious!!! Surely you have a pic of the shovel!

Groundbreaking ceremony?
