Maverick44 7629 Posted December 31, 2019 I just took a little break from constantly checking out the page. I felt my work was suffering haha. I feel good to be back and find a way for it not to get in the way of my work lol 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheFloppyDisc 364 Posted December 31, 2019 I've been watching the cam pretty intently and I haven't noticed any new changes since the last large support went up on the 20th of this month. I would guess construction will resume after New Year's Day, but the forecast doesn't look great for Thursday or Friday so it may be next week before things pick back up again. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maverick44 7629 Posted December 31, 2019 Yeah I have had the cam up everyday.....been real slow / no work at all the last week or so. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Waltny 1344 Posted December 31, 2019 So Thursday starts the clock ticking again on construction continuing. Does the track start going up Thursday or will it be Monday? My guess is Monday but I’d like to be surprised otherwise. I think after the last part of the turn around goes in I won’t be able to get track going up till we hit the next air time hill, then the helix and I’m going to guess the last piece goes in over by the brake run. As for that, the next step after 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flightoffear1996 4033 Posted December 31, 2019 I think all the track will work will be completed in about a month. It should go together pretty quickly now. 2 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maverick44 7629 Posted December 31, 2019 They already have supports up for the speed hill. So yeah i could see this thing completed by end of Jan weather permitting. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They also mentioned that the 85° drop was going to be only 7 feet long which was mentioned in the other Orion thread.

That’s pretty normal to have reach your max steepness for only a few feet. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maverick44 7629 Posted January 2 This means another support and piece should go up today as well so it can support itself. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I highly doubt that they’ll get that next piece in today as I’m guessing it’s going to be short like the other one, but they may both go in tomorrow morning. With that said I am almost to my lookout point to see what’s going on. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
