Construction Photo Update 8-14-08

They were moving around what appeared the supports for the track leading into the station, and the transfer area. I bet we see some of those supports go up soon.

Funny to see those construction workers using a support beam as a "bench" while eating their lunch!...I guess, why not?!

Great pictures! This reminds me a lot of how the land looked when Nitro was being constructed with half being out in the woods with lots of clearing to be done and the other half being back in the park.

They have had perfect wheather so far. Hope it holds up through the fall.

Meteorlogist Judd Redfield on WTHR (channel 12/13 in Indianapolis) was claiming during this morning's forecast that the updated Farmer's Almanac for this Fall was calling for the Ohio Valley (i.e. central Indy and Cincy) to be very dry and hot (possibly 90's in Sept!)....sounds perfect for erecting some D-back steel this Sept and Oct!! :D

I was thinking, Union Break? J/K :lol:

I can just imagine how much progress they will make between now (The last weeks of the regular season) and Holloween Haunt. I wouldn't be surprised if some of the huge lift hill supports are up by the time HH rolls around, becuase they'll be able to work on weekdays without the park open.

I wonder how much track will be up? Maybe station track and most of the station,I dont know.

Great pics! I love how the pic behind The Crypt has a port-a-potty near one of the footers because it gives some actual perspective at how HUGE the footers are. When you just look at it, it kind of looks small but whenever there are people back there or something else to compare it to I start getting all excited because you can tell this thing is going to look monstrous compared to everything else in the park!

After looking at Behemoth's construction log, it took only two weeks after the storage/ transfer area was complete for the brake run and turn into the station to be in place. I'm looking for a similar sequence of events with this one. Hoping to track going up very shortly, maybe even mid to late this upcoming week!

It looks like they just put up the supports for the turn into the station today and yesterday. I'll see if I have some time to go in before my shift starts tomorrow so I can do another photo update.
