The following photographs were taken on the opening day of the 2001 season.

The first picture is a view from the Monorail. The clearing for the station can be seen towards the back and to the left work on tunnel two has begun.

The end of the first tunnel underneath the monorail track. This is where the train will climb the lift hill.

The final turn on Nemesis and the two lift hill footers now in place.
