This is starting to seem like an alternate universe thunderbolt/phantom's revenge! -

The i305 lift lattice is no smaller than this is, either. -

Hopefuly we get to see that lift go up soon. I have a feeling it will look quite spectacular! -

The webcam shows that they finished the middle of the last bunny hills, and started the first (twisty) one. I wonder what else they'll get done today? -

When the trim strip went up on 305 (the last installed piece), the fins were in place when the piece went up. It would seem odd to use the crane twice, to lift the track, and again later to attach the fins, when it could all be done on the ground. -

I'm going to go ahead and call it one. It's similar enough anyways, the "dive" out of the element is the same, only the approach is different. -

Thanks for the update. Did you guys hear any plans for the construction schedule, trains, or testing? -

The site is flooded in the 2nd TPR facebook pic. Also, the guy states today's date in the video. -

Here's another cool youtube, surveying the site yesterday from a crane/cherry picker thing. Cool perspective! You can also get a good idea of the overbank (looks like a pretty crazy entrance/exit), and the bunny hill finish is taking shape, which looks very twisty. -

I found this youtube channel by someone who works in the site. Provides an inside view of the progress. -

Love the updates, thanks for the effort. I hope the water is gone, and they can keep working! -

Cheetah hunt was built after I305, and features box track almost exclusively it seems. I think we can expect it to stick around based on the type of ride. I like the look of the skyrush track though, to me it says "serious buisiness". -

Looking good, it seems this project is about to get very exciting! Its just disappointing that the ride wont be open until at least memorial day now. -

The crane sitting on that gravel road at the bottom of the site is very interesting. There must be a very specific order of what piece goes in when, so not to block its path. -

Have we ever seen a hypercoaster with such a low to the ground layout and airtime hills before? This could be a speed demon! -

The grass is growing pretty well under I305, I bet that pic was from opening day 2011. -

Anaconda has an excellent first half at least, up until the snap turn into the MCBR, it's fast, smooth, and thrilling. -

I think that it would be hard to make a giga coaster that flat-out sucks. A 300 foot drop is guaranteed to produce some big thrills. Although, I guess I have read some lukewarm things about SD2K.
