First lift hill piece is installed and cranes have detached.

Correct me if i'm wrong, but I was looking at fury's construction and it looked like they put up two lift hill pieces in the same day.

Am I seeing things, or is there another support in place for the brake run, right behind the transfer shed??

Are you referring to this?  It's a support, but it's laying on the ground and not installed.  It's been laying there for a week or two.

Here comes a semi with track on it

Double post: it has the top of the lift hill on it!

The crest of the lift hill has arrived!

 

I'm guessing this is the crest of the lift hill, as I think all other track not associated with the lift hill or brake run is in the back field.

Definitely looks like the hill crest!!

That is what I was referring to, thank you! 

T-Bone (Yellow Crane) is on the move!

When I was riding Racer yesterday, I noticed how big of a trench there is, if you see that trench in person, any of your doubts about the first drop being good will vanish (not like anybody had any doubts about the drop here in the first place.)

Oh yeah, absolutely.  That ravine is a good 20-30 feet deeper than the surrounding terrain, and the drop goes right down into it.  

It looks like the white crane is getting in position to install the lift hill supports either today or tomorrow.  They're moving the supports now (probably to align them to connect them together)

Okay since we have the start of the lift in place, I decided to give another shot at what the lift will look like from the tower. It took me multiple tries and this is the best I did. Might still be a little steep though.

I think that angle looks perfect, it's way better than I can do with a mouse with out a line straightener.

White crane  looks to be in position to place next support/track.

Wait I may have missed something, they are putting in another section of the lift hill and supports today??!

They are probably getting everything ready for tomorrow.  Its too late in the day to start something like that

Probably just getting in place for tomorrow morning.  Keep your eyes out for Clifford soon. I am sure he will be lurking out there soon.

Also right behind  white crane it looks like they are putting one of the lift hill supports together. You can see it make a V.

Yeah! I see it too!

 

 

It's strange that they're just plopping that piece of track down right there.  

That semi is seriously reversing out of there instead of turning around.  LOL

I watched that as well! I was thinking to myself, "that's one way to do it!" 

T-bone is picking up a support.

I think those two supports go end-to-end to make one longer support.  I don't think either of those supports laying there are long enough to go where we think they should (first set of supports for the lift hill)

So, since the base for the lift hill is in place, do you guys think that supports for the rest of the lift hill and other pieces of track will be installed throughout the rest of the week?

First hill support.

I think we are going to see these supports go up tomorrow with track. I am not sure they have enough daylight  if it takes as long as the first piece today.

^ Yep, I was wrong.  It appears they have them in the correct configuration and are installing the "end cap" of the support that will attach to the underside of the track.

There’s still a lot of activity around the first support for the hill. I wouldn’t be surprised if we see that go up by the end of today...glass half full!!

Looks like half of the first lift support is almost in if not already
