So, it’s starting. The hole is dug, the rebar and footers are in and dirt is being put back in place … Mach Tower’s construction is underway. The tower, which will stand about 240 feet, will be our tallest ride, dropping guests at speeds of 60 mph. It is currently at the Moser Factory in Italy, where the finishing touches are being applied, including testing and preparing the ride to ship to Norfolk in time to open late spring.
Opening with the park on March 26 is our new pretzel and beer shop, Beste Brezeln und Bier. The foundation for this new shop is set and I can almost smell the freshly baked pretzels now. In addition, many other changes are coming including a new color palette for the village, new games, the kiddie swings are moving and Der Katapult is relocating to New France. And yes, all of these changes will be in time for park opening.
I don’t know about you, but I’m excited about the new changes coming to the park. It’s going to be a great year.
