Of course, PKIC is the first to update with photos from this event. Click here to see IJST construction as well as winter rehab pics! Bill has also created a video from the tour and it can be viewed here. Regards, Ryan

SOFCO is the place in Batavia that makes B&M roller coasters. However, I just now remembered that SOFCO does a lot of steel fabrication - not just B&Ms. They most likely fabricated the structural steel for the parking garage. :lol: It kind of had me wondering for a minute! :lol:

I guess the cars will be on a separate thing that will be able to rotate a bit around turns to accomplish this effect.

I unfourtunately won't be seeing SFOG, because it's too far away, but I will try to keep you posted in case we drive by or any thing like that.
