Yes we rode Mammoth a couple times until hypothermia set in I have said before they should have made a shirt that said "I Survived Mammoth". All 6 of us would have bought it (and still would)...

Thanks and anxiously awaiting to see the flyer. I did hear of the dates and once we get the form it will be sent ASAP. Missed last year but kept the streak alive with the Mammoth Year (man was it cold. - think I mentioned that to you before)

Speaking of riding the Voyage and Thunderbird, when will the announcement for Holiwood Nights 2015 be posted?

From the camera it appears they have the other side of the loop pieces connected and ready. I believe the top piece is there as well in the background. So the question is are they putting up the supports yet? I can not tell.

And moreso when they finish building and load the cars, they just push Start and off it goes perfectly.

We have connection! Thought they might have 2 buckets up there at once to align. Very impressive work.

On its way.....

Looks to be going on now...

Yep, warm bodies back on site and appears they are about to pick up again very soon.

Sorry folks. It appears we have a rain delay....

Paula, Will you be on site for this lift or watching as we do via the cam?

Yeah, it appears the track up and back down are closer than shown on the layout.

yep was used to place most recent support and now up there with other getting ready to hoist the other half of that support

So noticed what seemed to be a construction type of tour this AM (7 AM CST) on the web cam. Was that just a review by the workers to local management or some B&M folks? Just seemed a showing of where they are currently and maybe discussing short term plans.

And other crane in place for lower piece of immelman that appears to be coming in on flatbed now.

Lots of activity going on there now. So is the piece in the foreground for the loop or part of the immelman?

They are laying pieces down now using the mid size crane and looking to put up more supports.

yeah, we know that. What I am saying is that the station is first around the curve and then the power wheel house. The artist rendition has that backwards.

So again I ask about the two buidlings we see. From the drawings it should be the power house just after the turn and then the station building. But it appears it is the other way around which is how I have been hearing people talk about it. They said you would fly by the power station and see 'Will Power' on the side. So are the artist renderings of those buidlings backwards?

yeah, meant to say the 140ft was the highest point. No initial hill for a launched coaster

well with only a 140ft hill, they may not need a really big one

Well this area is supposed to have fantastic weather for at least the next week or more. So maybe they are taking advantage of good weather and trying to get even more ahead of schedule.

Now I just checked and a new pile of steel has been dropped off and the crane is getting busy again....

I was watching a half hour ago and they had 6 - 7 more V supports on ground and were hooking up first to put up. Wow, just got back in and they are all up and the crane is packed up. That was fast.

Since I heard they were building Tron Lightcycles Power Run I have been very excited. I will not be able to make it there but hope we continue to get more pics. Has there been any mention or pics of the LightCycles yet? I am very anxious to see what they will look like. It would be even more fantastic to see this ride come to the U.S.
