Overview
- Late-stage construction crews are performing pull-through tests and a black test vehicle has already traversed the coaster’s 170-foot vertical spike.
- Video and photos published Sunday showed the spike’s switch track moving between two positions and recordings captured an audible air hiss when it locked into place.
- Crews are finishing station steel framing and adding wall studs while weathered shipping-container facades are being installed to conceal a jackknifed Peterbilt truck used as a launch visual.
- Work along the CityWalk waterfront is largely paved and the walkway layout has been reconfigured to fit the coaster’s footprint near the lagoon.
- Universal lists a 2027 opening window but has given no exact date so the next visible steps are full-speed testing and final safety certification before the attraction opens to guests.
