ZeroGravity55 Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 ^ Haven't looked at the construction cam in a few days, so please tell me they're coming toward the camera? Edit: Now that it is daylight, I can see what you're talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharman19 Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Seems like they've been giving the back some lovin', but the track should start sprawling towards the webcam soon. Nothing is going on, it's raining today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm so happy this goes through the woods! It looks like it will be an excellent ride! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricGarbo Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Is anyone planning on being at the park on Saturday? I'm looking to meet up with anyone and hit up the water coasters at some point, too. It's always good meeting new TPR people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikejenkins1 Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 I was watching a half hour ago and they had 6 - 7 more V supports on ground and were hooking up first to put up. Wow, just got back in and they are all up and the crane is packed up. That was fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikejenkins1 Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Now I just checked and a new pile of steel has been dropped off and the crane is getting busy again.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glouthan Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Exciting! Hopefully we will start seeing track be installed on the launch portion soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven Maven Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 ^Oh wow,they got those up incredibly fast! They were showing off ... several higher-ups from B&M corporate offices were here for a meeting today. I'm half surprised one of you eagle-eyes didn't recognize them!

ZeroGravity55 Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Wonder if they will have track on those supports by Friday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gerstlaueringvar Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 That really fast! Can't wait to see how this coaster will look like once the tracks are installed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharman19 Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 I am starting to wonder when the station will start, but Thunderbird looks BEUTIFUL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodie Warrior Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 I'm really hoping HoliWood Nights doesn't get too crowded this year as a result of Thunderbird, but I'm expecting it will. I'm sure it'll still be fun regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palmerleeberry Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Oh no, I think it time for another song to cement this occasion.

cfc Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 ^I doubt it will be anything from the old ZZ Top song: Get hi-hi-high. Really makes you feel so fine, really goes down so smooth, really puts you in the groove. Have you heard? What's the word? It's Thunderbird.

Throughout the year I'm always humming to myself, "People come from far and wide to laugh and scream on the Pilgrim's pride. Now it's time to sail away, your voyage begins without delay." I wonder this as well! Me and my family always say the different station rhymes to each other in the dead of winter when we are missing and wanting some Holiday World time. I bet it keeps with the legend Holiday World has created. It seems such a small thing, but those rhymes actually do add to the whole experience of the rides, the park, and the fun.

Rickrollercoaster Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 I can literally recite the old voyage spiel by heart. It's sad. But after hearing it 12 hours a day everyday for months, it imprints in your brain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glouthan Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 ^^Yep. That's what it's really all about - I'm a sucker for small details that just add to the experience. I miss those old recordings of Pat and Dan after the park closed if anyone knows what I'm talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroGravity55 Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 ^ I never got to hear Dan and Pat's recording after closing, but I will always remember Will and Pat's. Haven't stayed that late since Will's kids and Matt have taken over, but I really hope they've done something or will do something similar to that. As others have mentioned, it is these small things that remind you that this is no ordinary park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
