Beast1979 Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 It sure is taking them a long time to get the track in the air, a lot longer than yesterday.
tigellinus Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 I just looked at the webcam and still no new piece of track!! Let's hope this is NOT a common theme of this track rigging!!
Beast1979 Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 They moved the track and got it ready to lift, and they left it there.
Fear the Offseason Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 They are hooking the track to the crane right now. And it is in the air!!! woo!
Beast1979 Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 Yeh, let's hope things move faster from now on.
Fear the Offseason Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 I think that whole time we thought they wearn't doing anything they were actually putting up a piece of track. It looks like it. Half of it is off the webcam but then you see it come on at the top. So ,aybe thats what took so long.
Beast1979 Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 I think the track that they're putting in now is the only track they've put in today.
Fear the Offseason Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 Well I don't know but right now the webcam keeps changing positions. It goes to the splashdown and then it shows out in the trees.
Beast1979 Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 ^Yea it's Cycling now, first the station and brakes then the splashdown then the Woods then the area outside the Crypt.
Fear the Offseason Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 Like I said the piece they are puuting in right now is the third piece! It even proves it when the webcam cycles to the splashdown. You can see that one piece is already in place and the other one is still out of position.
Beast1979 Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 They're working on the hill after the splashdown and the vertical brake afterwards.
Fear the Offseason Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 www.kiDiamondback.com and then go to webcam. or http://kiDiamondback.com/public/downloads/webcam.cfm
tigellinus Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 ^^So is that "thing" sticking up from the ground in the wider-shot splashdown view actually lift hill track?!?
skaterboy22101 Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 ^^So is that "thing" sticking up from the ground in the wider-shot splashdown view actually lift hill track?!? no i think that is part of the station track. hopefully they are about to install it.
Fear the Offseason Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 No that is the break run track you see. The track right after the splashdown.
skaterboy22101 Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 No that is the break run track you see. The track right after the splashdown. o. ok. well i just saw people in the boom lift. wonder what they are doing.
Beast1979 Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 It looks like they got a great deal done, I wonder how much they will get done tomorrow!
Beast1979 Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 ^Late January dude, then you can see this thing run tests.
masonguy21 Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 You think this webcam is entertaining, you should have been at the park today! I was working our companys photo stand down by the international showplace, and every 15 minutes we are supposed to go outside and hold this sign telling people to view their photos. Usually it's a drag and I hate doing it but watching all the progress in the construction site made it awesome. I would come out with a mind set of staying out there for 10 minutes with this sign and 30 minutes later I would finally brake free from my trance and look at my watch to see how much time had passed. It was awesome!
Beast1979 Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 ^Well I'll find a good seat tomorrow when I go and watch this bad boy!
Monroe Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 First off, this is the first and the last time I will post in this thread. Second, if you guys continue to post every time the crane moves, this thread will break 6,000 in less than a week. I have no words for what I just read but wow......just wow.....
Fear the Offseason Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 ^We can't help it. We love Diamondback!
Kris_2009 Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 The only time they work are Monday - Thursday and that is it. So a lot of work will be done each day I hope.
gnarkiller Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 Nice pics! Wish i could have been there to see them raise the first peice of track.
