Ok, is it me or did the second web cam view now get lower? It appears as it was moved (accidentallly) lower so when it zooms in it is not as high up as before. Did wind blow it down some? It is similar to taking a chopped off pic of someone now and the head is partially missing.... -

So will walls be up soon for the maintenance building to shield the train from bad weather? -

yeah was wondering. I know they take the wooden coaster trains elsewhere for maintenance and just wondered. It would be easier and not as much work if they have their own contained building. -

So not to be a stupid question, but what all will be in the maintenance building? Most of the storage track areas are just that but this seems to be a two story building with much more to it. Will they be able to do off season work on the trains in this building as well and will it be fully enclosed at parts? -

From the view right now (11/25/14 2:24 PM EST) it appears 2 - 3 more pieces left. Finish inline roll and the last straight piece or two......soooo close. -

Yes Banshee at KI has a carousel and I wondered the same thing. It does go up hill so I guess that is the naming reasoning. -

Yes I mostly do love them. I have ridden GateKeeper several times as well as Banshee. Much and improvement. Now with looping on those, you do start to get sore shoulders a bit but not too bad. -

You guys were sooooooo close to getting the ride built with no bad weather/snow. Well at least you are in the woods with a little coverage and the rest of the lifts are low to the ground. Tell the crew to keep warm! -

inspection of web cam now shows a crane loading several curved pieces on a flatbed. My guess is that they are beginning to install the zig zag section. Can not wait to ride Thunderbird! Paula, do you know what track piece # they are doing now? -

So looking at construction cam of the Will Power building. Is the left side caved in or an optical illusion? Better viewing and see it was an optical illusion.... -

Pulled up the web cam a minute ago just to see a flatbed truck full of track heading to the back to be installed ! -

Well I always wondered if they did full assembly of a ride then went back and did a full bolt tightening. So guess they can do it along the way. Thanks Paula...You da answer woman! -

Are they putting sensors on the track or just minor adjustments? Seen them off and on in booms doing some kind of track work on the existing completed stuff. -

Have there been any aerial photos taken of this area since construction started? I would love to see how this looks from the aerial view point. -

Has there been any statement of a possible date they might be done with steel construction on the ride? They seem to be moving at a great pace (have not seen any in several days but that does not mean it isnt happening). -

So I know where the first cross over of the voyage is for Thunderbird, but does it cross over again and if so where? -
Flip Coaster
mikejenkins1 replied to mikejenkins1's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Well no expert at posting pics and really not needed here. Go to: www.rcdb.com Click on New for 2015 From list click on Flip Coaster -
I was looking through RCDB and found Flip Coaster being built for 2015. The picture does appear as it is a Vekoma Tilt coaster but with two of them. Any updates/pics or anything on this coaster or park?
