More of Spongebob's background has been put up.

 

I wonder why they're leaving gaps in between the panels.

 

 

You know I was thinking they are doing gap thing on purpose. Looks kinda cool to me.

 

It looks like the wall behind the coaster is curved a bit - this is probably to prevent any warping of the panels if they were all one piece. I totally agre with you, haide - it looks pretty cool.

Uh-oh, webcam's down again. And just when it was getting to the good part...(last track piece on the top of the loop).

 

EDIT: At 5:40 am central US time, the last section of track was installed.

And there was much rejoicing.

Looks FANTASTIC!!! Since my family is from Minnesota, I am going to book a flight sometime in June just to ride Spongebob!

 

By the way, how will they get that yellow crane out of there?

^^Sort of. The rail isn't joined yet in the 5:40 shot. It's 6:21 and they are still tightening bolts on that final connection.

 

It looks like the last connection was off an inch or so, (you can see the ends aren't flush) and they had to convince everything to line up enough that they could bolt it together. I think they had to use a come-along to pull them into alignment or something.

 

The crane was outside the footprint for part of the loop. They'll drive it back out under the first drop.

So who thinks that they should throw some simulated beach underneath this? Glad to see the Track done! Can't wait to get out there to ride it. I am looking forward to trying out the eurofighter style. They have always intrigued me!

Do any other Eurofighter models curve on the first drop like that? I've only ever seen two (Speed, Typhoon), and their drops don't.

*Raises hand*

 

This is the first Eurofighter I've seen where I'm actually impressed and wanna go ride it. Maybe because its indoors or not, I don't know. But the layout looks awesome!

Mystery mines dosnt curve at the pull-out but duing the actual verticle part it does. Its pull ot is strait. I wish they had a drop like Mystery Mines outside drop that thing has some ejector!

Hey, really glad they finished up before I went to work this morning.

 

If you look close enough, the taller construction worker closest to the cam just saved 15% on his car insurance by switching to Geico.

 

Brilliant!

Two words. Big Pineapple.

Well, if ya gotta split hairs, I was going by the NASA assembly rules, i.e. the time two objects touch and have at least one connection, then that's the official time of installation. All the other bolt tightening is post facto, but whatever. Have it your way. It's done, I'm happy. Next.
