Wow! That gif is awesome!

Someone's toying with the camera angle.

[Raven Maven]

^ Its current position gives us very little "play," but we're pretty sure we'll leave it in place until the Immelmann is complete and the 125' loop. Then the webcam itself will be moved north and east.

 

Should be a big week!

[Midgetman82]

That's a good spot for the live cam actually. When the loop starts going vertical, would the camera be pointed towards it while also providing views of Voyage?

[Raven Maven]

^ I guess we'll all find out soon.

I'm taking that as a yes

[Brassinthegrass]

Thats what my sister likes to call a "corporate yes." That way if they decide to put it in some other random spot she didn't lie to you!

 

 

I can not wait to see this thing in real life! July 19th! Yes, I am already booking my massive summer trip!

Exactly! But more importantly, in my opinion, it's more fun when it seems more like a surprise!

Lots of activity going on there now. So is the piece in the foreground for the loop or part of the immelman?

I'm assuming the topping (Inverted) part of the Immelmann.

[lewis97]

It attaches to the track near enough at the point it is going vertical, according to the layout released with the announcement.

[mikejenkins1]

And other crane in place for lower piece of immelman that appears to be coming in on flatbed now.

[Sharman19]

And here is more construction!

That Immelman sure is big!

[hey...hey]

They already have the next support up...man, they will have the immelmann done in no time.

[ZeroGravity55]

And they're lifting the next piece of track into place.

 

Edit: Never mind, they set it down and unhooked it. They did that to flip it over (it was upside down) and they should be lifting it into place soon.

Construction isn't moving quite as fast as the wing rider at Heide Park did last year, but they're building it faster than most American parks would!

 

Edit: From HW's Twitter page:

 

[DoinItForTheFame]

This coaster is looking better and better with every photo I see! I can't wait to see the new view point from the webcam's new location!

[tatsu_dude]

That Immelmann is going to be absolutely massive! Did HW ever give a height statistic for it? This ride is reminding me more and more of Hulk at IoA, hopefully this can be the first properly intense wing rider following Banshee's reported greatness.

[ZeroGravity55]

^ 140 feet.

[ThemeParkJunkie51290]

I'm so ready for opening weekend in 2015!

[mikejenkins1]

So noticed what seemed to be a construction type of tour this AM (7 AM CST) on the web cam.

Was that just a review by the workers to local management or some B&M folks?

Just seemed a showing of where they are currently and maybe discussing short term plans.

[hey...hey]

Really big crane onsite, I guess for the top of the immelmann...
