^Wow that's a massive one!

[glucky11801]

Yes, this one looks like the most difficult one yet!

[glucky11801]

Looks like they have it in place!

These live web cams are so interesting!!!

[rcjp]

^They're quite addicting.

[ZeroGravity55]

^I'd say! It appears the webcam has had over a 1000 views since I left for school around 8 this morning.

[Sharman19]

More and more pieces are going up!

[Diamondbacker27]

Have any more pieces been put up over the weekend?

[glucky11801]

No, the crew didn't work over the weekend. It's raining there right now, so not much action going on...

Alright, thanks. I figured it was raining, it's raining here. But I didn't know they didn't work in the rain.

[glucky11801]

They are working again. Looks like they are getting a support situated to be lifted.

They need to have to keep the crane level. If the ground is wet enough, they won't be able to do that.

They are working on the remaining support for the Immelman. This is the biggest one.

Hyena Falls looks tiny!

[Guy T. Koepp]

I'm hoping that transition is nice and snappy!

[ZeroGravity55]

Part of the support is up! Two more pieces (maybe one?) and this thing will be topped off!

They're about to lift it!

[Sharman19]

*yawn* I'm just gonna' leave this here.

Top off in a few days!

[jedimaster1227]

That's one big Immelman! Here's hoping the ride ends up being a bit more like the intense B&Ms of yore (Kumba, Montu, etc...) and less like pretty much every other B&M that has been built in the last decade...

In the words of regional park ride ops: "AMAZING!"

[ZeroGravity55]

Paula just tweeted that Thunderbird will be topped off tomorrow at 10 a.m. (central) weather permitting.

[Raven Maven]

^ ... which should coincide nicely with my nervous breakdown. #WeatherPermitting

[Sharman19]

You won't. There will be some pretty nasty thunderstorms heading your way. (See what I did there?)
