Thanks, Robb! Those photos and videos are amazing!!!

[Sharman19]

Great photos Robb! I am getting more and more excited for the vertical loop. It's going to be HUGE!

[GwaziBSRider1]

Thanks for sharing, Robb! That's one sexy Immelmann! I CANNOT wait to ride this next year!!

[Midgetman82]

I kept refreshing my ipad (due to the stream not being very mobile friendly) through the first 5 minutes of my class I was in it until I saw it finally connect! Congrats on topping it off! That last picture is glorious! Now, to tackle the rest of the track.

Looks pretty darn neat. Love that they went with an original design. Yay for HW:)

[Sharman19]

I wonder how long it will take to finish the vertical loop? a week and a half?

[Midgetman82]

Not quite, but close!

[RyanTPM]

It looks fantastic!

Almost!

[Sharman19]

We should make it happen!

[ThemeParkJunkie51290]

I'm going to make sure I have my "biggest holi-smile" on opening weekend!

[Diamondbacker27]

My OCD is kicking in.

Sweet! I love how the Immelmann looks, especially from this angle!

[lewis97]

The track has finally been detached from the crane. Thunderbird is well and truly topped off!

 

[JJLehto]

Nice! Those pics are superb Robb!

 

2015 is finally the year I road trip out to SDC, hitting KI and of course HW along the way. This looks too awesome.

[Midgetman82]

I'd hate to be that guy, but hopefully everyone knows Robb wasn't the one who took those pictures and videos. Just posted them.

[Raven Maven]

^ Oh, but I'm so glad you were willing to be that guy. Glad you like the photos - risked life and limb to take a few of them (during Thunderbird's pre-topping memo to us).

[tatsu_dude]

Awesome! It might just be wishful thinking, but that looks more snappy than I expected. Between that, the launch, and the shorter trains, this could very well be the next Banshee. Can't wait to see the loop!

[ZeroGravity55]

Wow. This Immlemann is huge! I still can't believe I'm watching B&M track being raised at Holiday World. 2015 can't get here fast enough!

[jarmor]

This is looking much bigger than I gathered from the pics and videos!

[ZeroGravity55]

Make sure you have your volume turned up!

[Sharman19]

AWESOME! Love that they played the T-Bird music again!

[johnnyknottsville]

Since SFMM has Tatsu's EggTurn can HW Thunderbird's Immelman be now known as the Eggelman lol or is that to much

 

Anyways Thunderbird looks like it's going to awesome and I still can't believe this coaster is being constructed at Holiday World
