Dont know if this has been said before but im just wondering. When they build steel coasters like this in the winter if come spring / summer when the steel warms and expands if they have any kind of problems? Maybe they have to go adjust bolts or something?

If the track and supports are made of the same type of steel (I assume they are) they will expand and contract the same amount. Plus, these rides are made to be able to bend and move a little bit. Wicked Twister is an excellent example of this. If I am wrong someone please correct me. And if someone else can describe it better than I can, feel free to do so.

Movement is necessary and expected for absorption of force from the trains, wind etc... Check out TTD in the wind or a skyscraper for that mater.

I wish tehy would out a camera on top of the Tomb Raider building!

I like your thinking that would proved some very unique angles.

^Not very. You could have two different tabs for the two webcams. Therefore you could change between the two cams not have it do it for you. CP has two (was three) webcams and thats how they do it.

Multiple webcoms isn't that difficult or expensive of technology. It's about the same as security cameras.

Looks like they're gettiing ready to raise the crest of the hill before the final helix. Yeah for supports and track.
