When do you guys think we will start seeing the lift hill?

Probably after the assemble the .......brake.....WAIT! Notice how all the pieces are pretty much where the brake run is; Maybe they will start on the lift hill soon!

I think we will see that sometime late September / early October.  I think by the end of Haunt we should have a hill in place.

I think it is. They out the eyes on the 265ft level instead of the 275ft level. So we will have a better view.

okay sweet i knew they put them up there didnt know if it was on the top or bottom part lol

It will be a few weeks until they start on the lift. They have to finish the brake run first I believe. But I do think they'll try to have the lift hill done before the Winter Solstice since it is projected to be a very harsh winter and nothing is worse than being up 300+ feet in the air in brutal cold. 

Edit: I just saw a truck pull in with what I believe are supports.

I don't think the will assemble the brake run before the lift hill because if you look where a lot of the pieces are, they are near or next to the brake run. I wouldn't be surprised if they assemble the lift hill before the brake run.

You should of watched Valravn being built lol I know not a tall but winter it was worse up at CP. I watched that cam every day as well. It did not look fun.

Idk if this was mentioned, but the transfer track has been rolled over to the rest of the track.

I mentioned this earlier.

Oh ok. Also, the yellow crane is moving to take supports off the truck.

Also I do not know how much this will relate but I think Fury's lift hill was up pretty early in fall / early winter.

From the past coasters seems they will do the brake run/station first then start on the lift. 

As long as the brake run is and how high it is might be easier to do the lift hill 1st.

I figured it out!

 

They will install it how ever B&M told them too lol

So basically you answered your own question

I do know that in one of the Fury construction videos, one of the builders mentioned that B&M provides a step-by-step book (very thick) on how to construct each coaster.

Probably going to Skyline since they are local lol.

Maybe.....Kinda fits what they are doing and their name lol

 

More massive supports are pulling in.

Gives me an idea.....

Re-theme Boo Blasters 

To a skyline theme (F goldstar there is a reason its not at the park) Spaghetti shooting guns and chili hot dog madness everywhere.

Edit: totally off topic my bad everyone

Gold Star > Skyline.  Too much darn cinnamon in Skyline’s chili.

Leave.

Now.

The orion haters hurt... but this.... this breaks my heart that fellow enthusiasts could say such things

 

edit: this is war 

 

There’s so much busy work to do in the station area haha. I would think we would start seeing track work on the bottom of the first drop at the same time they start on the lift? A few more weeks and this thing’s really gonna start to take shape!
