HolidayWorldFTW Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Also, hard to tell for sure, but it looks as if they have some more track sitting by the crane ready to be put in place maybe today!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HolidayWorldFTW Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Yup they are NOT wasting anytime this morning. They are for sure getting ready to place another section of track! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rickrollercoaster Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Looks like they're getting some Catwalks up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jynx242 Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 I think this could be the thing that gets me to make the long drive up there for Holiwood Nights this year! Â Can't wait to see more pictures of construction. Watching a ride of this size being built from the ground up is so awesome. I did the same thing with Banshee - and when I finally got to ride it, it was awesome remembering seeing the pieces being put into place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rickrollercoaster Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 OH! Paula! I finally remembered to ask! Is Thunderbird's track filled with sand to reduce noise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikejenkins1 Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 So I see the webcam is now showing to the side where the maze is located. What are those vehicles or items in the view? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HolidayWorldFTW Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 That's their setup for the Rock the World festival they do. I guess they are going to be showing the festival on the webcam instead of construction. The festival is this weekend. I'm sure they will move the cam back when it's over. But yea this is NOT the Thunderbird construction site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raven Maven Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 ^ Yes it it. You know what it feels like when you reach inside your clothes dryer when the towels are still damp? Yeah, it's like that. Summer has arrived. Â ^^^ We're saving little details like that, Tyler, for future episodes of the Hard Hat Chronicles. They'll resume in a few weeks, as our new digital media developer comes online (pun intentional) early next month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it's like that. Summer has arrived. . Hopefully, it will end soon. Â I bet the park wishes it would have started in early July, when they were still in daily operation season. This summer has been quite cool and I'm willing to bet park attendance has been down a tad bit because of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HolidayWorldFTW Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Looks really muggy there. It really is pretty awful outside recently. You need a knife to cut through the humidity today.

Or rather a remote controlled flying something anyway. That is SUPER cool! I just seen someone playing with it on the construction cam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikejenkins1 Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 I am trying to get an aerial view of the whole new ride area. Google Earth has one that is in the early stages of land clearing. Are there any sites that have an updated one since construction? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rickrollercoaster Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Not any that I've found unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HolidayWorldFTW Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Just out of curiosity, are those supports before or after the launch room? I believe the supports that now have track are inside the station/launch building. The supports without track are outside of the station. I think someone mentioned that they needed to put the track on the supports that will be inside the station now so that they could start building the station.
