^ That would make sense but I've seen no trucks, supports tracks etc... Just a crane going back and forth repeatedly. I wondered if they were checking its turn radius since its in such a tight spot. I'm just excited that they might be starting work on the final helix!!!!!

That picture cracked me up! Anyone know what the white crane is doing by the Crypt? It keeps turning back and forth but not really doing anything.

^^^ Plus they moved Clifford to the back wich was no small project, there's a pile of supports on the service road going to the back, they're currently working on the rise of the third hill, I'm pretty sure a white crane has been distributing supports in the back.

One of the white cranes has been working in the back for more than a few days so I bet they've got a lot of support work done.

Clifford is in the back by the MCBR.

I bet your right, I thought it was track cuz I saw an empty flatbed leaving there. But there's no support work done and they're doing supports in the back half. I'm surprised your resolution is clear enough to see that it's the boom though, I just see red fuzz. I'm now jealous that maybe everyone else hase a clearer view than I.

They're placing lots of track behind the final helix, on the left side of the Crypt.

I think ur right and I'm kinda sad... and that's kinda sad. I saw some empty flatbeds by the Crypt earlier and thought they were going to be moving some track. Anyone see anything?

^ agreed. What about a qualifying team that can't raise enough cash. Sorry guys we would've won but... How stressful would that be for a little kid. I loved youth sports and competing was great so I'd be in favor of a national championship but this just looks like a cash cow for Disney. Cut the costs, rent out a modest park and find hotels and maybe restaurants willing to give bulk discounts.

^ It took me a minute to get that... clever.

just thought it was funny to see BEAST1979 on all the threads. I was picturing a 12 yr old posting early sun morn, rushing some in before church or something. You may be a KI addict if you played a 4 hr gig last night, went to a party till 1:30, got up with your daughter at 7:00 and are posting one handed (still holding said daughter) at whatever time it is.

^ If it's Sun morning and you've already posted to every thread on the home page

^ Cool I'm not crazy. I wondered cuz there wasn't a w in ur reply Thanks for the laugh! The site is running fine for me now btw.

I'm glad I have a sense of humor! That last post took 5 mins to load. I opened task manager and the sight was switching between not responding and running EDIT: this one posted fine

I run windows 07, mcaffee and have DSL through Verizon (I've got a great introductory rate). Same software at work but FIOS. I haven't seen any of those error msgs and load time has been normal. Pages load oddly though. Somebody quoted me and the only thing in the quote was a w. When I posted a joke reply the whole quote was there. The home page often has errors about who posted last, basically not registering recent posts. I've also seen posts of mine disappear twice and it didn't seem lke anything a moderator would've screened out, they were even on topic. Terp, I think the sight is jealous of your wit, however you spell it.

^Nothing...unles the ravine was 30 or 40 feet deeper. That would be amazing.

^ Neither do I. I think s/he might have been talking about the track coming out of the MCBR before the last hill and helix

I agree about the third hill. After dropping into that ravine and making that curve, the lateral g's and the physical disorientation from all the different forces... It'll definitely have the surpriuse effect! I just can't wait for that second drop. Coming over the top you'll definitely have some speed and massive air time. Then hitting top speed as you drop into the ravine and the curve into the 3rd hill. This thing is really shaping up to be a top 10 ride.

First of all I would never say w BTW, there's a lot of progress on the worksite today... you know for that new coaster at KI, Diamondback or something like that.

Sorry, thought it was understood. ...have a six line post because you simply must respond to every comment you missed over the last day.

I think Fairly Odd Coaster is very smooth espiecally if you consider its age. I agree that it's got some great airtime too. Glad that we have agreed that DB will in fact be very smooth. FOF is plenty smooth and an incredibly fun ride... Can we get them to turn out the lights completely for a ride or two. Terpy I'm still puzzled on the largest B&M comment. In agreement with Terpy, wasn't this thread about some new coaster or something? Wow look what happens when I don't post for almost a day. You may be a KICentral addict when..

The second hill is looking great and I am officially begging for a webcam ontop of the Crypt.

That's a really neat opportunity. I really like to see programs that pair academics and real world experience.

In response to Skaterboy, I understand your point and would agree if it were in response to someone saying Diamondback will be better than Nitro or Behemoth. However, if you ride in a Porsche you'll have a fast ride on a stiff sport suspension. Ride in a hummer and you'll feel like your in a tank. Ride in a Lexus and you'll have an incredibly smooth ride (and I miss mine). You can count on certain things from B&M and their hypers will always be smooth and full of airtime. Thanks for the info on Phantom's Revenge RZ. It was news to me.

This is way off topic but I though Morgan was called in because because Steel Phantom's inversions were too rough. I didn't know there were maintenance issues. I know I talk about it alot but... wohoo! They are getting close to working in the ravine. The second hill is lookin great!
