next piece of track going in place!

I don't like tacks, why does Banshee have to have tacks...Last thing I need is one of those on my seat like the Ed Alonzo show

ha. very clever.

Aww...you used the editor, now noone will know

my phone auto-corrected the word "track" to "tack."

now they will.haha.

It looks like they may be planning to put the next support up,

They are rolling along today. Another piece of track in the air and I'd expect to see another support and piece of track up by the end of the day.

Wow! They have the track up about halfway to the top of the dive loop!!! Yay!

can't tell for sure on IE, but looks like they're installing the next support now, it would be the 2nd tallest support w/n the dive loop element. Lots and lots of progress today.

Edit, switched over to firefox where I could zoom in, and I think I was wrong, doesn't look like the next support is being put in place right now, though perhaps sometime today or tomorrow? Either way, still makings lots of progress today.

I know it is an illusion, but Banshee looks so much bigger than FD!

You can also see the little green concrete truck pouring the station foundation.

the chain lift loop is going to be pretty tall. the arch of the loop comes to the center of the second lift support above the catwalk but under the track, look at the birdseye animation vid and pause it when the loop comes into a good view and then from the top of the loop trace your finger to the right and it comes to the second support lift. tried to make it sound simple...

Woo hoo! Headed into the loop with supports!

Its looking well... Banshee like

"I love it when a plan comes together."

I know it is an illusion, but Banshee looks so much bigger than FD!

What is FD?

^Flight Deck.

A Abbreviation breakdown!

DB = Diamondback

SD = SurfDog ( do people use this one?)

FAAC = Flying Ace Ariel Chase

DT = Drop Tower

CF = Congo Falls

TA = (old) Thunder Alley

FH = Firehawk

FoF = Flight of Fear

AE = Adventure Express

SS = Sling Shot

VF = Viking Fury

WS = WindSeeker

ET = Eiffel Tower

WS(E) = Wood Stock Express

Some of them aren't really used, and some of them I don't have but that might help.

lots of progress today. Link to gallery

What do you mean illusion? It is bigger than Flight Deck in pretty much every way.

^ Maybe he was comparing the artist rendering to the construction progress.

I know...enough webcam pictures, but this one was a must-post....

Banshee...Sticking her way up through the fog!....

I wish that was high res.

Here it is in color, which makes the lights around the ride kinda look like fire:

darn it's foggy down there, only a bit up her this morning

uh oh.....someone left the Haunt fog juice running...

great picture!!!

i think we might see a couple of inversions today...

A couple might be tough, but the dive loop is definitely a good possibility. Looks like they have one support up already and are building a second on the ground right now.

With it raining today (at least down here in Cincinnati), they may not get too much done.

It was raining yesterday, they still got a lot of work done. Its not raining that hard today, they may be slowed down, but they'll still most, if not all of their scheduled work in today unless the rain/wind really pick up from where it is right now.

Yeah it's raining there now, and they have a piece of track in the air on the small crane. I'm kinda wondering if they are going to put in the track for the bottom part of the dive loop and rollout to the start of the lift loop before they top off the dive loop. Makes sense actually, that way the upper track isn't in the way when they are setting the lower track.
