King Ding Dong Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 Obviously a bit older as I think of “Up on the Catwalk” (1984) Simple Minds. That is a good thing and I am sticking to my story. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enchanted Voyage Lover Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 Doesn’t look like a great day for construction watching the cam, but I did see a flatbed leaving. I assume that track is still being delivered today. I going up Sunday & Monday and hope to get pics. Then almost three weeks of nobody getting pics...gonna be tough. Lol Maybe construction cam will get up during this time. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

collin.klopfstein Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 Sorry for being late but this morning track update, There was more element track on a trailer ready to be delivered and a piece of the drop on another trailer. And about 30 minutes ago all the track was gone and they are about to put the supports on a trailer and there are more supports out. Taking a closer look at the support color it is actually more of a light gray 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have there been many supports visible at CSF?

I doubt it, but maybe. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin22 Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 The supports are all going to be the same color, I don’t see any reason why they wouldn’t be. If it wasn’t the animation likely would have showed there being different colors. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Credit for the pic goes to Collin. Maybe the lift hill supports will be a different color than the rest of the supports to emphasize the size of the hill? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
