iChase Posted August 18, 2008 Posted August 18, 2008 The rate that this ride is going up is really impressive. I'm excited. Hey everybody! This is my first post! I was so happy when I saw them putting that first piece of track in place! woo! LOVE IT! Welcome to the forums!
Beast1979 Posted August 18, 2008 Posted August 18, 2008 Angrybeaver: Save that shot and lets compare tomorrow night, I'll bet they'll have quite more done!
Fear the Offseason Posted August 18, 2008 Posted August 18, 2008 ^That is a really good idea. Yeah I'm sure they will have a ton more done by same time tomorrow. They are working very fast.
Beast1979 Posted August 18, 2008 Posted August 18, 2008 I look every 5 minutes or so and I see a tad bit more done. I wonder when stuff starts happening in the ravine/forest area if they will cycle through views like before?
markalan Posted August 18, 2008 Posted August 18, 2008 The track that is there now, is actually two pieces. They were connected on the ground, then put in place. That's all the track that is in place so far. They have also added the catwalk and railings to the transfer track section. And they're still working after 7pm.
Beast1979 Posted August 18, 2008 Posted August 18, 2008 And don't be surprised to see work like this happen every day for a while.
Ki Man Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 Yup, watched it being put up today. I came around the corner and flipped out! Scared a few employees as well!
Beast1979 Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 So when are they going to start with supports in the woods area?
BavarianBeatle Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 That Swan Lake area will go up quick... After all, they want to sell season passes for next year.......
Beast1979 Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 It's 7:00 AM now, let's see how much they get done today.
RailRider Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 I would imagine they get more done today than they did yesterday.
Fear the Offseason Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 Looks like they moved the crane. Wonder what they're going to do with it over there?
markalan Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 Looks like it's there to place supports and track for the final brake run.
Fear the Offseason Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 I figured thats why it was there. They are going to get a lot done today. I can tell already.
Beast1979 Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 It looks like they are placing supports as I type near for the brake run next to the Brake shed, they'll probably put track up for it by days out.
Beast1979 Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 ^They are putting in supports, which they will be doing for a couple more hours. (This webcam thing is a great Idea! )
G-Force Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 ^They are putting in supports, which they will be doing for a couple more hours. (This webcam thing is a great Idea! ) I know! I could watch this all day! I would pay for this lol. I wonder if they will have the webcam working during the test runs in January, if they do that would be awesome!
Beast1979 Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 ^They will probably have it up for a long time, probably untill opening.
Beast1979 Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 They are about to put in another track piece.
joecartoon Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 dang you beat me to it the crane has it lifted up im saying in the next half hour or hour it will be up
Beast1979 Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 No right now they are fastening the track to the crane, it's a long process it'll take another hour or so.
House Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 Is the web cam down? It wasn't working for me just a second ago.
Fear the Offseason Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 It's working fine for me too. You know the thing that makes looking at the webcam so fun is that it updates every 5 seconds. If it only updated every minute I don't think I would look at it as much.
