So I've been playing around with the cam and inverted color/filter settings to see if there's anything we can confirm that isn't initially apparent.  I think I can confirm that the entire length of track behind the transfer shed has been installed.  Using an inverted color filter when zoomed in, you can see the inverted orange color of the track stretches the entire length from the transfer section of track, all the way back around the turnaround.  Sorry for the potato quality, I did this in paint.

    Here are my pics from yesterday. Didnt take any professional camera up. Just with my S9+. Plus, was a little bumpy. Watermarked because some people. And these definitely are "exclusive".

Here are some clear pics from Buckeye Coasters on Facebook. He was at p&g day today! 

 

It looks like his photos confirm my post above.  Thanks!

what is this?

My best guess is that that is parts to assemble the station.

You guys should wait till tomorrow. :-)

Yes, the track from the station to the end of the brake run is in place. My pictures will show that.

So you went flying again? Can you do us a favor and fly a lot during the off season? Thanks! 

I was at the park today for P&G Day. Couldn’t really get any pictures, but I will say the station track piece is almost positioned at the same height as the queue line for Firehawk (now Flight of Fear’s presumably. Two things I noticed while riding The Beast and WindSeeker: 1.) They were in the beginning stages of preparing footings/footers (whatever) for the turn around.
2.) There is going to be a lot of “blue” dominating the left side of the park (Banshee’s supports, Delirium, Invertigo, Vortex, Scrambler, portions of WindSeeker)....but that doesn’t really matter [emoji16]

Ok you can tell these lift supports are white and the others are light gray

I'm glad Kings Island is trying to make the lift stand out, after all, it's tucked all the way in the back of the park.

Edit: Now that I look at it closely, they don't seem to far apart in terms of shade.

@collin.klopfstein I believe they are all the same color. It's our eyes playing tricks on us. 

Yep.  I believe they’re all the same color.

They were working on the newly-installed track all day today.  It looks like they’re installing the shrouding/netting/whatever the official term is for the guards that go around that area of track.

I tried to follow all of the footers but failed lol

That’s really darn good.  One change I would make is that the supports in the brake run should be much more vertical and not be at such an angle.

Doing that right now!

Edit: nvm i tried and i cant lol, can you try?

Here is a pic showing more of the track. I thinned it down so file size isnt as big, but wont be as detailed.

Wait! There is more track behind the construction site? I thought what was directly next the Flight of Fear was all of the track that had been delivered.

yeah thats probably where they were hiding the first piece of track that got delivered but we didnt see it at Kings Island

Makes you wonder what else @sixohdieselrage got pictures of while flying over Kings Island. I had no idea Kings Island was storing track back there. I am really enjoying these photos.
