GCI Wooden Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 In that video, the people on the lift hill look really small. It really reminded me how large this thing is. Also, the shot at the end where it shows you the drop, WOW, that is amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brassinthegrass Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 I never noticed from all the promotional videos that the first turn around was more of a flat turn, unlike Leviathan which is more of an over naked turn.... This thing is really going to be a great ride, one that seems to offer a few variations from Leviathan, making it for a different ride! So excited for July when I get down there to ride it!

_koppen Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 ^I think the sheer height of these rides puts more people off riding it than inversions would. Height scares people. Imagine if you would put inversions on it as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThemeParkJunkie51290 Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Well, I guess there want be any excitement today. The RAIN! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicman Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 ^ They already have not done much progress in the past few days, so the rain is making the construction worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarheel1231 Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 I think the crane workers have time off until after the holidays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brassinthegrass Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Looking ahead as well, they need to finish the tunnel area before they can place track... Is it possible that they would skip that section and come back to it at the end? I know they said that construction would continue through the course, but this hiccup makes sense in my mind....

I don't see why not. I think it's very possible that they'll even start at the brake run and work backwards allowing more site work to go on around the new entrance/tunnel before laying more track there.

Brassinthegrass Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 Clear skies over Carowinds and not a single construction work to be seen... Good, that's the way it should be, Merry Christmas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThemeParkJunkie51290 Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 So, I'm guessing there will be no construction this week. I just hope the coaster will still be ready on time for opening weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GwaziBSRider1 Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 As someone who works on a lot of construction projects, I can assure you that the Holidays are taken into account when planning the schedule. They're well on track to having it ready for opening day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThemeParkJunkie51290 Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Yes! Construction is back on . . . TRACK! LOL. I'm glad to see a new piece in place. I can't wait to dive into the tunnel! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glucky11801 Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Wow! Here's another support and piece of track! That is going to be one great drop into the tunnel! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrillseeker4552 Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 I love how they created that funky 91-degree transition into the drop. It's not something B&M normally does...but that's a good thing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GCI Wooden Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Yes, I was surprised by that too, it really doesn't seem like B&M would do, but I'm glad they did it! I think that will be a high point in the ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
