Iron Menace at Dorney Park Has Gone Vertical!

Out running errands today and I figured, why not stop by the park and see what's up?  Well, a lot is!  Iron Menace at Dorney Park has gone vertical, with most of the brake run and the transfer track in place.  It is amazing to see in person, the scale is much larger than your mind might expect.

Up top is the view coming down Lincoln Avenue toward the park, immediately your eyes notice the giant coaster pieces starting to frame the background.  It will be much more impressive in the future when the B&M Dive Coaster's tilted loop will be right here as well!

From the backside of the construction area you can get more of an idea of what is up so far - the pieces we're seeing here are for the final brake run.  In the foreground, not built yet obviously, will be the final helix that will connect with that track.  The footers for that helix look largely complete at this point.

Looking at the vertical pieces from the other side we get a good look the structure.  At the end of the brake run is the transfer track piece, which is currently slide off to the side.  After that area will be the ride's station, harder to see here as it will be in the background.

A bit of a better view of the station area, which I would assume will be the next to go into place.  The park shared video of the base of the lift hill (already connected to the station track) being taken to the work site, so that should be in place soon.

There isn't much new track in the staging area, so until more shows up the focus will be on the brake/transfer/station area.  I'm sure the park will give us some great looks at the now vertical track soon as they've been doing a fantastic job keeping us updated on Iron Menace's progress.
