Didn't name the first hill in the Diamondback Sierra "Mt. Helbig" for nothin'!

I don't see a Mt. Tony or Mt. Tyler anywhere in sight!

    Any discussion that results in me looking at pictures of Nitro is one I am in favor of! And in saying that, I am on sound footing! Terpy, whose sign off line could be called a footer

Removed bad joke...

With Clifford missing from the skyline, DB looked much taller to me this morning.

Thats hillarious. You could do some major damage with one of those bolts

That picture cracked me up!

Anyone know what the white crane is doing by the Crypt? It keeps turning back and forth but not really doing anything.

Well, there are track and supports that will be placed right by the cave entrance to the Crypt. It could be moving some of these pieces off of flatbed trucks and/or installing some of them.

^ That would make sense but I've seen no trucks, supports tracks etc... Just a crane going back and forth repeatedly. I wondered if they were checking its turn radius since its in such a tight spot.

I'm just excited that they might be starting work on the final helix!!!!!

Just because you haven`t seen any from the webcam does not mean that there haven`t been any trucks or pieces being moved around by the crane.

Your right. I just saw one. And I wasn't saying that they weren't there, just that I hadn't seen them and the crane was repeatedly going back and forth without lowering it's hook (insert proper name).

A few interesting observations from today. Currently there is a cement truck parked close to Wings Dinner and the station entrance, also looks like the 3rd hill has grown a little larger today and I have noticed quite a few workers working in and around the splash down pond.

Nice captions Nemo, but Brandon's park is getting more than just sugar. They're getting a Prowler!

Which is sweet, like sugar!

Man, that was a hilarious blog post. Go Don! Defend what's right!

Sweet as suger, and smooth as butter (it's a GCI) :)

.....As far as woods go. They still do have that slight rickety feel all woodies have, just not as much as others.

When the Boogeyman goes to sleep every night he checks his closet for Don Helbig.

Don Helbig counted to infinity - twice.

If paper beats rock, rock beats scissors, and scissors beats paper, what beats all 3 at the same time? Answer: Don Helbig.

Don Helbig knows where Carmen Sandiego is.

TB I think your right Helbig is better than Chuck Norris, move over Chuck...

:lol: ^^

... can chew some wood and some nails and spit out a roller coaster.

... can solve a Rubik's Cube with a single flick of the wrist.

... can open two new bottles of ketchup with one hand.

... can cook Foie Gras with a microwave.

... conquered Mt. Everest ...in shorts.

This can get silly...

Back on topic... nice stitch work, Firehawkboy! The lift hill just looks magnificent!

This can get silly...

Exactly!

....Can tie a knot in a cherry stem, with his toes.

....Can go to the moon and back, with no rocket.

....Can program a computer, without touching it.

....Can Ride the DJIA Coaster, with his hands up and eyes open.

....Can Jump off of Diamondback's hill, and not get a scratch.

That's all I can think of right now.

^^ This is a family forum, inappropriate :rolleyes:

Just kidding, I like it.

Clifford is back up? Cool. More tree-toppage is imminent. Another peak will soon join the Diamondback Sierra.

Don Helbig is the reason why Waldo is hiding.

Don Helbig can believe it's not butter.

Don Helbig can divide by zero.

Don Helbig has already been to Mars, that's why there are no signs of life there.

Ok... I'll add to the sillyness.

Don Helbig doesn't sleep... he waits.

Don Helbig's tears are the cure for cancer... to bad he doesn't cry.

When Don Helbig drinks, he doesn't throw up... he throws down.

You know they really are just as funny with Mr. Helbig's name in place of Chuck Norris. Although Chuck may not think so.
