Where are the trims?

[BaMiTsPaT]

Even if there are trims on X-flight it's not like it was going to be an airtime machine anyway. I'm sure it will still be an awesome coaster with or without trims.

[QueerRudie]

Due to the angle of the webcams/items around, X-flight isn't really showing off its true size compared to what's being built- which is a shame. In the end these pics (although great to look at!) are showing very little of the scale of the ride.

^ They've moved the webcam twice in the past four days, and said they'll continue to move it based on what part is being constructed, so I'm sure we'll get some angles that show the size in the near future.

This guy was in the camera and it scared the HELL out of me!!! But then I realised that he was moving the camera

[sammmmmy]

^ Probably the funniest thing I've seen all day.

 

 

I really like how they're changing up the location of the webcam frequently!

[Commando]

The Immelmann Loop is done. At the rate they are going we may see the pull in to the corkscrew done by today!

THAT PHOTO SCARED THE HELL OUT OF ME! It's like one of the internet trick things where you stare at a photo and then some creepy face pops up.

[kumba830]

Looks like they made quite a lot of progress today...

I'm really liking the looks of that turn [assuming that's where the water effect will be]. Getting more and more excited for this =]

Nom nom nom.

It scares the hell out of me that people are following this webcam.

[sfgam#1]

^ Lol but I think the sun makes the red track look great! And at the rate there going at I can see the track being completed in 2 or 3 weeks tops!!!!! Unless they start working on the station instead !

[Geauga Dog]

This is my most anticipated coaster this year.

 

It also looks like it will be quite a photogenic coaster being close to the County Fair midway.

[Jerrykoala2112]

That awkward turn looks.... Uncomfortably fun!

When is the Last B&M Rough Turn in the last 5 years?

 

2 Things:

I hope they plant grass and trees around the coaster

Too bad the Antique Cars couldn't have stayed. They could've weaved it around the coaster. Think American Thunder

[sfgam33]

Disagree...It worked for SFStl but here it would ruin the entire appeal of this coaster. Its a lot smaller of a plot of land than you're prob thinkin. They got rid of the arcade on that midway along with those remote boats/cars just to squeeze the turn in. This midway is significantly smaller now but I will say, yes its goin to be photogenic. I see no way on how they could have saved the cars with this layout. I mean, yes theres always a way...but again, I think it would have ruined the appearance of the ride, wouldnt have fit in that sense.

Does this beat the TTD cam when the guy was caught taking a leak on the side of the photo booth building?

[deguy123]

Wow this coaster looks great! I'm going to have to get out there and check this thing out eventually!

[G$ Kurt]

^^Haha no, this is a close second but the TTD piss incident was the best coaster webcam pic.

[sfgam#1]

I think the turn is finished. But that red is looking really good though!

[LoneRider92]

I do have to say, that's a VERY nice shade of red. Looking good so far.

[Thom25]

YES - The red looks GREAT, and I am amazed how fast this and all the other B&M coasters are being constructed. Nice job no doubt.

[cal1br3tto]

I agree; that's a really appealing color scheme and somehow seems well-suited to the ride. Hopefully it looks as dramatic in person. This seems to be a great paint-job year for coasters!

[sfgam33]

Our new coaster is gorgeous. Simple as that. It looks amazing in the park's skyline too!! The current view of the webcam makes her look so flowy...that turn goin into the corkscrew/2nd zeroG is beautiful. I hear she looks massive up close in person. Cant wait. I have full faith shell be ready opening day May 5th!! That was a lot of sentences.

[noregrets]

^A lot of sentences referring to a roller coaster as "she" lol. I've only ever heard that pronoun applied to ships, and maybe some cars. Very odd.

[vacoaster09]

Almost Done! This morning there was no snow. Now it's coming down and looks like they are still working.
