Hey, Don answered my question in the Blog!

I'm surprised no one has mentioned that they have yellow support lying in the midway...and since HH is Friday that means they must be planning on ERECTING it tomorrow. (At least that's my guess.)

You hit the nail on the head, the crane is preparing to lift those supports right now.

Thank you Don for moving the webcam!

And up goes the support.

Man that thing is huge!!

Also congrats on Post 100 Firehawkboy!

^Haha yeah that IS huge!!

And thanks "Go Browns"!

^^Brownies are going to need all the help they can get this season!!

I can barely see the next support behind the one before it, and pictures are blocked on the School computers.

How big is thing?

It is very large, honestly in cam the top is out of frame.

The latest from Don Helbig:

Sweet pics!! And not to say that I am not, but you're confirming Rail Rider that all is good with the drop angle?? The black arrow in the pic below is basically 74 degrees.

The picture of the boom lift next to those 2 massive supports is insane. Really puts in to perspective how large DB is going to be.

^^But what about my angle question??

^^But what about my angle question??

Well the lift isnt even topped yet and it will need to drop very drastically to connect with the section of the drop that is already installed. I have no fear in the 74 degree angle.

We are talking massive lift hill in limited space, thats why they used 40 degrees up and 74 down.

Perspective can do funny things to angles. I'm gonna take Don Helbig's word for it on the 40/74.

Well Millennium Force is 45* Up and 85* Down, Diamondback doesn't look too dissimilar and it's 40* Up and 74* Down. I bet it's accurate.

Millennium Force is 45 up and 80 down. Not 85.

Ahh Bright Light!

working lat tonight... adding another portion to the left side of the big support right now.

they must really want to get this lift done!

either that, or i guess like someone said, with portions of the supports out in the midway i suppose they have to get it finished before haunt tomorrow night.

That's rediculous, they're topping off the tallest support in the ride at 8:00 at Night!

Topping off of the Tallest Support in the ride:

Thanks for the update guys!! I quit watching around 7 p.m. thinking they were done for the day.

Makes you wonder if they're gonna try and put that last chunk of straight lift track up tomorrow and wait til next week to cap off the lift hill.

EDIT: Oh, and 800 POSTS WEWTBURGERS!

It seems they are having some allignment issues with that support.

Well, from just now looking, it seems they are it in place. I can't wait!

Millennium Force is 45 up and 80 down. Not 85.

You took the words right out of my mouth, I was about to get mad and defend my precious Millie.

I laugh at those who compare DB to MF.. DB is a LOT closer to Nitro and Behemoth.. I had the impression that all coaster enthusiasts knew this..

and for that, we can all be thankful.

Terpy, who just HAD to (and who is about 2/3 teasing!)

Wont they wait to top the lift off after the rest of the coaster is finished? What if for the Third Coming we got to see the topping off ceremony!

and for that, we can all be thankful.

Terpy, who just HAD to (and who is about 2/3 teasing!)

Sorry.

I still love you guys. I just tend to get a little irritated sometimes when facts are constantly misrepresented.

I love watching this ride come together at night!! How interesting!!!

Well I take it they are not going to be working tomorrow seeing as though they are still working at 11:55pm almost tomorrow.
