The implosion will be on television network A & E at 10 p.m. But if you live nearby you can see it up close.Public viewing areas are available on the beach both north and south of the implosion site. The actual implosion is scheduled between 10:45 & 11:00 pm.Large video screens will provide a feed of the TV coverage. Illusionist Criss Angel will attempt to leave the building in time before the strategically placed explosives fire off destroying the building's columns. If all works as planned the building will collapse on to itself. At the same time, Criss Angel will be taken away to safety after he escapes his binds.
Coming early is advised, as traffic is expected to back up by mid-evening (6-7 p.m.). Sunsets at Pier 60 will be taking place from 6-10 p.m., so families can come early to enjoy the sunset and stay for the event. Large screens will be set up on both the north and south ends of the beach to view the live production.
South Gulfview Boulevard will remain closed until 7 a.m. Thursday morning. Coronado Drive will close at approximately 6 p.m., at which time north/south traffic can use Hamden Drive as an alternate route. All north/south roads will close at 10:30 p.m. for the implosion and remain closed until approximately 11:30 p.m.
All public parking will be open, with the exception of some on-street parking on Coronado Drive and the temporary lots on the Patel property (both closed for safety reasons). Give yourself enough time to park and walk from remote lots on the north end of the beach, available parking on the Causeway, or at remote parking at St. Brendan's Church on Island Estates.
