I was thinking that Cleo was just moved out of the way to get big yellow in place. I think BY can lift the track section higher over top of track already installed. Cleo is there to help. T-Bone is just getting a head start on post head chopper supports. 1

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. Also, what does BY stand for? Big Yellow? If so that would be a hilarious name for a crane . 2
Kodistict Posted January 22, 2020 Posted January 22, 2020 Sorry for the double post, but Cleo is installing/moving track! 2
MrSourNinja Posted January 22, 2020 Posted January 22, 2020 Still out there doing work. You know it’s gotta be freezing! 5

Waltny Posted January 23, 2020 Posted January 23, 2020 9 hours ago, Maverick44 said: If its like Diamondback... I am sure it is. All they do is lift the train into the storage shed track and push them by hand to connect each car together. I am sure there is electric by now as well. It is run underground so it has been there for awhile. I also remember reading in a blog or something that the operating system is nearly all in place. @Waltny is there anyway whenever you drive past again to zoom in to the lift hill. Can we see if the chain is already in place? I did some due diligence and when the sun is right overhead of the lift hill there is a spot over on GWL parking lot I should be able to shoot right down the belly of The Beast. My question is, how did we collectively miss it if it did go in the way the webcams are watched like a hawk? 2
LovinMeSomeBanshee Posted January 23, 2020 Posted January 23, 2020 That’s a darn good question - only WindSeeker looks to be tilted, nothing else.. 1

Benjamin22 Posted January 23, 2020 Posted January 23, 2020 It’s just the angle the photo was taken, I straightened it out and it looked fine. 2

So they put those pieces in and it was visible on the cam? Thursday morning edit: That track did not end up going in after all. It also looks like the cranes are set up assembly line style to get track in place to the head chopper element quickly with the other crane doing supports out to the brake run.
Beast Night Rider Posted January 23, 2020 Posted January 23, 2020 Good morning everyone! Big piece of track going in right now!!! I hope they get some decent work completed on the helix today. 3 1

Waltny Posted January 23, 2020 Posted January 23, 2020 To many to share individually here so I’m linking the 10 shot post from instagram 5 5
Maverick44 Posted January 23, 2020 Posted January 23, 2020 I knew they brought in Big Yellow to lift track up and over the already installed track fort he helix. I hope we see the helix finished today! 1
LovinMeSomeBanshee Posted January 23, 2020 Posted January 23, 2020 Another support going up on the far side of the drop. 1

Maverick44 Posted January 23, 2020 Posted January 23, 2020 Big Yellow taking next helix track section up and over! Its a huge piece! 2
BeeastFarmer Posted January 23, 2020 Posted January 23, 2020 As Orion's helix goes up, Vortex's came down. 2
KIguy2004 Posted January 23, 2020 Posted January 23, 2020 Big Yellow is moving a track piece right now. The piece is huge! 1
Legofan237 Posted January 23, 2020 Posted January 23, 2020 It looks like they might need another piece to reach the next support after the big piece. 1
Nutterie Posted January 23, 2020 Posted January 23, 2020 Is this a segment of a train?Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk 2

I saw that about 3 or 4 days ago but thought it would be strange if they had the trains just sitting out like that. 1

LintemuthStudios Posted January 23, 2020 Posted January 23, 2020 The helix looks much more intense than I was expecting. Didn't the animation have the top sort of leveling out a bit? It doesn't look like it does that here. 4
