^It does look great. The only part of the ride I'm not so sure about is that forceless-looking helix. I would rather have that made tighter than the trim removed.

[Keetz]

^^^Yep

 

This is the middle slower paced section it seems. It would have been awesome if they lowered the speed turn on the return leg to make it really short and then add two low lying airtime hills into a tighter helix. I won't complain though because the ride overall looks awesome and Carowinds forked over millions to build a giga coaster.

if anything. the trim might me just used for a sensor just like the one on Banshee was . They never turned the trim on Banshee on so maybe its just there for the computer.

A new Piece is about to be in place:

[rcjp]

^Either they're installing another piece and support today or they will have to leave the crane holding it, I suppose.

[DJeXeL]

^I was thinking the same thing! Lol

[drummermattk]

looks like the forklifts are bringing back another piece! Maybe the camelback maybe completed by tomorrow? maybe!?

[rcjp]

They're putting another one now.

[drummermattk]

maybe if we're lucky. they could possibly complete the camelback today? but i think tha'ts to much to ask for

[rcjp]

It's amazing how tall that hill still is after all those other elements!

[drummermattk]

looks like the piece is in place!

THE INFAMOUS TRIM IS THERE LADIES AND GENTLMEN. Lets hope it is never used....

[Fooz]

I think a trim on this ride was a given. Lucky that it occurs so late in the ride, though I bet the bunny hills at the end might have a sort of "imagine if the trim was off" effect.

[rcjp]

^We don't know if it'll be on but yeah, I wouldn't mind going over a B&M airtime hill a little faster.

[nicman]

For anyone interested in the gate construction:

[ThemeParkJunkie51290]

All the construction is coming along nicely!!!

[BotanicalStig]

Another piece is in, got a lot done today.

[Wolfman_KL]

What a day. The helix will be done tomorrow.

[nicman]

^^^I'll guess like 25.

[Dom497]

More than that. I would go for 40-50 more pieces to go.

[El Toro_Ryan]

Is it just me or does that hill look wider than your typical B&M camel back? If so, I bet the ride is going to hold some serious speed cresting that hill.

[nicman]

^I thought so too, but I think it is just the angle.

[chargersmichael]

Wow all of this looks absolutely amazing! 2015 is going to be a good year at Carowinds! This is just so massive!

[Nickstroberg]

I'm pretty sure I already see a trim on it
