ZeroGravity55 Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 (edited) ^ ... which should coincide nicely with my nervous breakdown. #WeatherPermitting Seems like a such huge moment for you guys, but it's only a small step when you think about how much more the park can grow. I'm assuming that you guys plan on having some sort of news media at the park tomorrow? Edited October 7, 2014 by ZeroGravity55 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glucky11801 Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 I am really looking forward to tomorrow morning! I had to leave the webcam, and missed the lifting of the last pierce of track (that I was waiting patiently for all afternoon!). Paula, I hope the weather hold out for you guys tomorrow. This is SO exciting!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diamondbacker27 Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 That's definitely different shaping on the Immelman than we've seen before...looks a lot wider at the base and a lot tighter at the top. Will be interesting to see how it rides! Enjoying watching the construction updates Agreed! Hopefully it provides a nice amount of force! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikejenkins1 Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 We have connection! Thought they might have 2 buckets up there at once to align. Very impressive work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glucky11801 Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Yes, I am always amazed at how these huge pieces line up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbill Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Yes, I am always amazed at how these huge pieces line up! Same here. I understand of course that they use very complex math and software to design and fabricate these things but that doesn't make their extreme precision any less impressive as far as I'm concerned.

Guy T. Koepp Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 ^Good riggers! I work in film and television and these riggers are the best. Most of them can eyeball their pick points. Ooooo! Sorry, we don't call them riggers anymore. It's a derogatory term. They prefer Aerial Suspension Specialists. A.S.S. for short. Most of them are A.S.S. masters. The best in the business.
