That outward banked turn is going to be something fierce.
It irritates me how in their tweet they say that the coaster has gone vertical. Just ignore the fact that they have been vertical and building the wood frames higher for months. It seems is to claim that this coaster is vertical solely because they placed the first piece of track.
Technically, this ride went vertical over twenty years ago...
More updates for your vertical thinking people -
I'm sightly amazed that they are installing track at it appears there's quite a bit of wood to be added still. I'm not just saying that based on the footers never I'm sure that there are a lot that won't be used. But it looks like they built tunnels into some if the structures but there's nothing built in either side of them yet. Then there's the entire lift hill structure and connecting the various structures together. Just seems like there's a significant amount of work left
Could be a work flow thing. Making bents takes time and if you have the erection crew waiting around you might as well use them
It could also be structural, there really isn’t any horizontal support until the track is added.
With that most of the bents were made off site I think. I know one of the (former) interns that bolted them together.
Fun Fact: The Erection Crew was the name of my college dorm's 80s themed erotic dance troupe.
Wooden wanna disappoint...here's a 9/2 Update
