    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

Yeah I didn't want to put it yet because I was a little unsure exactly which support that is and how much of it should be colored. Will though if everyone likes.

EDIT: I'm a little slow today. That must be the tallest support no? Guess Ill just color it like half way or something.

EDIT 2: How about this,

Yeah its big real big. The skyline will forever be changed. Just wait till the lift hill and 2nd hill tower over the park. This thing is impressive

It'd be cool to see a "Before" and "After" photo of the pregression between work days using that photoshop!

Check the webcam they have fully erected the next support and are lifting the next 2 track pieces into place.

Does anybody wish they would move some of the webcams now that there done in two areas

Yes I do!

They need to put one so we can see the Hammerhead Turn and the midway.

And maybe get a faster FPS image like Carolina Cobra. Their camera switches to a new image every 2 seconds.

And their coaster isn't even as amazing as DB.

^^YES!!!

Wow, that's impressive. I can't wait to see all that's been finished when I go to the Haunt.

Well, for an alleged ~200 ft 2nd hill they still have a ways to go!!

The Crypt building is what? 140 feet?? The track is barely eclipsing that now...more track should still be added if this 2nd hill is really going to be near 200' for the 193' 2nd drop! But what they have now looks good so far and is a great start!!

You must remember that the drop on the 2nd hill drops in to the ravine, so the structure may not rise 200ft in the air, kind of like Phantoms Revenge

So I was looking around the construction photos yet again, and I came across this picture.

Just look at what that area used to look like! It's so different. There used to be a bunch of trees, but something better will be coming.

I just hope they plant some trees in place of the old ones.

The 2nd hill is huge, look at the angle on this thing. Anyone else think this will be a massive airtime hill? Also the curve that makes up the 1st drop pullout and the entry to the 2nd hill looks amazing.

^ Oh yes!! That angle descent looks about as steep as the first hill drop. And especially if they put the crest piece up next, air time will be a key factor in this hill.

Holy crap! I didn't even realize all those supports!

I hope they go up soon!!

I can't see those pics are blocked by my companies firewall. Can you email them to me?

Lord, that Second Hill is Huge! The animation doesn't do justice at all, and just remember that is only about halfway up the second hill!

And it looks like they have installed yet another:

The webcam is down right now for me too, that drop into the ravine is going to be awesome atleast they are going to make this ride use there terrain back there just like The Beast does also i'm so excited!!! :D

It looks like they might be installing another piece right now!

Okay it is back up for me.

Man oh man that second hill is going to be huge. I like how it is at an angle at the bottom of the hill too!

Not in the treetops yet. That last piece that was installed is on the return track.

Wow. I cannot wait to come back from co-op for Thanksgiving to see this thing towering over the park.
