Deconstruction of Action Man

Initial construction. Hoarding is put up around the site and a temporary path has been created next to Toadie's Crazy Cars for easier access to Beanoland and Mystic East. Action Man has started to be dismantled.

Since the last update, the lift hill, helix, and block 3 section has been built. They are not constructing the coaster in ride order due to accessibility reasons.

Dragons Fury will have some very good drops

With some of the larger sections of the ride now complete, it is proven that Dragon's Fury will not be a tame coaster. Track wise, only the drop, Immelmann turn and section after is left to construct.
