August 1, 200818 yr Perhaps the supports are also part of a building that trains will be housed in? http://rcdb.com/ig3290.htm?picture=32
August 1, 200818 yr Anyone remember how high Nitro's station is? http://www.rcdb.com/ig1106.htm?picture=2 Doggone that is one tall station. I got the "tremors" just from looking at it.
August 1, 200818 yr ^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.
August 1, 200818 yr If I remember correctly, the station for this ride is WAY off thr ground! So these very well could be the station supports. -Hauntguy
August 1, 200818 yr Looks pretty familiar if you ask me. http://behemoth.canadaswonderland.com/publ...age&chip=43 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. http://behemoth.canadaswonderland.com/publ...1&maxRow=12
August 1, 200818 yr 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' will then veer left curving 180 degrees into the station. http://www.cwmania.com/photos/displayimage...=128&pos=37 http://www.cwmania.com/photos/displayimage...=128&pos=76 Shaggy

I'll edit the caption and my post. Thanks. I should probably stop trying to speculate. 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.
August 13, 200818 yr Took some more photos last evening: The full gallery is here: http://picasaweb.google.com/kwelch/20080812
August 13, 200818 yr ^^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!!
August 13, 200818 yr Great pics Thane! Personally, I can't wait until they get around to track placement, thought that is still far away.
