Six Flags Mexico's Medusa: Twisted and Nearly Complete

© Six Flags Mexico

It's been a while since we checked in on the progress of Medusa Steel Coaster at Six Flags Mexico, and now we find that the ride is looking nearly complete! Six Flags Mexico is converting Medusa, a Custom Coasters wooden ride from 2000 into a twisted mess of track, complete with several inversions.

The park reached a major milestone recently when they started adding the ride's trains to the track, seen above.

The park also shared this close up of the train's face plate, showing off the steel version of Medusa in all her glory. I probably needn't say much more, this is obviously a beautiful looking train!

Meanwhile the crews from Rocky Mountain Construction, which are converting the track into steel running rails, also have been sharing some updates as well. Above is a part of the midsection of the ride, with the lift and inversion-filled first drop in the background. The outer set of track was installed a while ago, but the inside curve is a recent addition. The high bank leads into some pretty twisted track...

Like this! The ride's last inversion, a nice long heartline roll, serves as a finale to the experience. This looks like one of the last sections of track that crews were installing, so perhaps at this point the full circuit is complete!

I haven't seen any word on exactly when Medusa Steel Coaster will open at the park, but I'm sure we're getting close.
