Rivertown Construction Goes Vertical

[tubaman]

Perhaps the supports are also part of a building that trains will be housed in?

Anyone remember how high Nitro's station is?

Doggone that is one tall station. I got the "tremors" just from looking at it.

^That looks more like transfer storage track than lift hill track. Those are guide wheels to move the train from one spot to another.

I think you're right. I'll edit the caption and my post. Thanks. I should probably stop trying to speculate.

If I remember correctly, the station for this ride is WAY off thr ground! So these very well could be the station supports. -Hauntguy

Looks pretty familiar if you ask me.

Pretty interesting, after reading the construction diary of Behometh, it looks like our's will be constructed very closely to how Behometh was.

Here's a link if you would like to compare the timeline of both.

There wasn't any activity that I saw today at the previous swan lake site. I guess they will be doing most of the vertical construction on weekdays.

It's the supports for the transfer storage area.

The final brake section will go straight through the storage/transfer area. It' will then veer left curving 180 degrees into the station.

We could be both wrong Thane. I was looking at the animation, and it shows some guide/power tires just out of the station leading to the lift. Oh well it's still going to be fun to watch them put this one up.

Nice pictures. I wonder what the wheels are for. Transfer track perhaps?

[tigellinus]

^^Yeah, definitely transfer track for the trains' storage shed...sort of like for Nitro.

Great pics, btw!!! They've really kicked it into gear the past two days!! It seemed from the pics I saw last Wednesday to this past weekend when I was at KI not a lot had been done, but since Sunday there's a TON of more progress!!

[iChase]

I'm noticing that too. They're leaping and bounding out there!

[KIBeast]

Great pics Thane! Personally, I can't wait until they get around to track placement, thought that is still far away.

Thanks for all the kind words. I'm glad you guys enjoyed the pictures.
