That is great to see them progressing along.
It is odd to see them rides there without a queue or loading platforms.

How did the beast do?
Is it still on site or was it moved before the storm?

They have 2 Beasts. One was in the Kemah Marina during the storm and the other in Galveston. Since the storm both of them have been in Galveston. In the last couple weeks one of them has returned and is parked in the marina along with the parking shuttle boat.

Oddly enough, during an unrelated search I stumble across this a few minutes ago. I guess at least one will not be making it back to Kemah.

Hmm...interesting. I wondered why they had two of them anyways. The one for sale is the old one. The newer one which is currently in the marina has a different paint job.
