The REDEMPTION Rollercoaster: E.G.O. Season 1 (no spoilers)

The fabulous E.G.O. Season 1 REDEMPTION Rollercoaster has left the safety of the boarding gangway. We had a bit of a production lull in March, but think of the lull as that long, slow, “click-click-click” climb up the first big hill of a roller-coaster after the ride starts. Now, we’re poised at the crest, and you better be buckled up. It’s going to be steep drops, loop-di-loops, barrel rolls, and unexpected curves through hazards and hijinks all the way to the season finale in July and a special event at Gen Con in August. So, for your anticipation, here’s the layout of Season 1, past, present, and anticipated future, with a little bit hidden at the end just to heighten the allure.
