Looks like it to me, I thought it would be at least a day or two until the first piece of track went in. 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hueney020 Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 I know it was mentioned before but was it ever confirmed about two different colors of supports. Based off of wild gravity post you can see that the station support is dark grey. I wonder how much of the supports will be that dark grey maybe the entire lift hill?? Then the rest is the light grey. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's possible that the area in and around the station will be a darker shade of grey to match the materials that currently make up the station but I would not expect to see two different colors in the manner in which you see Diamondback.

LovinMeSomeBanshee Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 It looks like they’re about to erect another support. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LovinMeSomeBanshee Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 They are now installing yet another support in the turnaround, and a crane is lifting another track piece. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The second piece installed is out of view (beside the transfer shed.) The transfer piece you mentioned being put in place was actually just stored in another area (on the other side of that crane) - they didn’t install it today. They probably put it in its current place so that it will be easy to install tomorrow/Monday. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixohdieselrage Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 Man, it's taking shape. Yes, I've seen it above. No, I didnt get pictures. No, I wont say anything else. We will save pics for when we get above the 100' height of track. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched the cam live as they lowered the piece into place with a crane, and it was held in that spot for approximately 30 minutes or so until the crane moved on. Edit: You can see the blue of the track here. It seems to be on the same plane as the track that’s already installed, and this is the area where the track was being lowered into place yesterday by the crane. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
