Construction is well under way at SeaWorld Orlando on the Mako hypercoaster, and the theme park started out the new year by topping off the ride.

This occurs when the tallest part of the ride is installed, and on Mako, that’s the top of its signature 200-foot tall hill.

SeaWorld Orlando was kind enough to share these photos of the topping:

Mako is set to open this summer, and when it does, it will be Orlando’s tallest, fastest and longest roller coaster, reaching speeds of 73 mph along 4,760 feet of track.
