Beast1979 Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Angrybeaver: Save that shot and lets compare tomorrow night, I'll bet they'll have quite more done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fear the Offseason Posted August 18, 2008 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast1979 Posted August 18, 2008 Share 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colonel_SoB_fan Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Is there two pieces of track up now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markalan Posted August 18, 2008 Share 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.

BavarianBeatle Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 That Swan Lake area will go up quick... After all, they want to sell season passes for next year....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RailRider Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 I would imagine they get more done today than they did yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fear the Offseason Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Looks like they moved the crane. Wonder what they're going to do with it over there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markalan Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Looks like it's there to place supports and track for the final brake run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fear the Offseason Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 I figured thats why it was there. They are going to get a lot done today. I can tell already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast1979 Posted August 19, 2008 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beast1979 Posted August 19, 2008 Share 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! ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-Force Posted August 19, 2008 Share 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 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
House Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Is the web cam down? It wasn't working for me just a second ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fear the Offseason Posted August 19, 2008 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
