LoraX Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 It sucks that I've been too slammed at work to even get to watch any of this the past several days. That is truly one beautiful ride. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

medford Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Assuming decent working weather conditions, they could be done laying out track by the end of this week. Doesn't look like we'll have ideal working conditions, at least early morning over the next couple of weeks, but they've worked in worse, so we shall see. Thanks for all of your updates davidw, they really add to the construction progress and understanding what they've been doing. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCrypt Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Looks sort of cluttered to me. I'm having mixed emotions about what that corner of AZ will look like (or what I think it will look like) from the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elyk Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 I expected Banshee to go further back into SOB's old land. I wonder what they could do with all that extra land. Maybe for 2015 we'll see an expansion with some new flats. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I don't expect it to be barren concrete like it was. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveinphoenix Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Looks like all that's left is the approach to the final brake run. I also noticed there are no pieces left in the hold area......it will be interesting to see them fit that very last piece in. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 It's a B&M. It should fit perfectly. Arrows frequently had to be bent into place. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveinphoenix Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 I have been in the construction/design business a long time...and it still amazes me how precise the surveyors and concrete guys get their part done so that all those numerous one-of-a-kind support and track pieces in such complex shapes on a varying grade all fit just right.....absolute teamwork and flat out know how and experience to pull that off....KUDOS to the entire construction crew. 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And unless they start showing more re-theming in the Action Zone it's going to arrive even slower! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheikra_rocks Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Does anyone else feel like that inline should be through that vertical loop, ala keyhole element? 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trevor75 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Does anyone else fell like that inline should be through that vertical loop, ala keyhole element?

TombRaiderFTW Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 ...Yep. A heartline roll on a B&M Invert looks just as weird (in the best way possible) as I thought it would. Is it April yet?! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No grammar police here, not by a long shot! Just had this vision of falling while reading that and couldn't resist. All in good fun, no ill will intended.

AZ Kinda Guy Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 I would suspect we've seen the last of the circular "increte" Action Zone insignia. I hope it still floods in the middle! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adventuro Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 The station looks much bigger than I thought it was going to. It's all coming into perspective. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick_Plummer Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 The station looks much bigger than I thought it was going to. It's all coming into perspective. Indeed it is, I feel after Banshee is totally completed (track, station, etc.) the cam will shut off or be pointed at something else while AZ is being rethemed.

Adventuro Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 That's what I was thinking. Or they will conveniently move the camera from The Eiffel Tower slightly right so you cannot see Action Zone, but still see Banshee. But they can't totally hide cause we can still see from the road. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TombRaiderFTW Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 I don't know why they would bother to move or cover the camera when redoing Action Zone in 2014 when they didn't bother to move or cover the camera when redoing Rivertown in 2009. But maybe that's just me; I also didn't see any conspiracy in the new Banshee camera being covered by Haunt decorations when the wind blew. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
