Hard to tell if its track or something else here

I think they may be putting the pre lift track piece in. Seems to be the one with the wheels and the beginning of the chain.

You missed some, and removed some that werent supposed to be removed, and on topic. Smh

 

You should have moved it to an off-topic thread so everyone knows about the plagiarism. I'm moving the screenshots I took of this thread to a folder to save them for later. 

It's raining in Mason.  First rain in darn near a month?  Ugh.  It's welcome, but I hate that it'll slow down work this morning.

Looking at the cam, its raining at the park.

Would the rain actually effect putting in a piece of track

Edit: Question answered.

Nope it’s in now 

So technically the lift hill construction has begun, if you consider that the piece just installed is L1 (Lift-1).  I'd say the rest of it will be installed over the next few weeks..

I had a dream last night that Clifford had finally made it to Kings Island and the lift started going up. Sucks it was only a dream lol. 

They are pulling in a big part of track right now. taking it to lift area. Looks to be the start of the lift that goes up.

Here's a photo. You can see the next piece getting ready.

So this piece being installed is mainly a large piece of backbone, with a very short section of track (the part that begins the incline up the lift hill) - this is exciting.

I've got 4 monitors at work. And one is dedicated to the construction cam, despite the annoyance from my boss! So exciting!

They are starting the lift hill!

I have three, but I have the construction cam maximized at all times on the biggest of the 3.

 

Here it goes!  They have the backbone angled down to the footer!  Yesssss

We have track going into place at this moment

LIFT HILL LETS GOOOOO.

Ill update the color track diagram accordingly tonight! 
Cant wait to see how many pieces go up. Without Clifford on sight I only imagine one strait section going up.

I’d say as many as they can till they hit max height/capacity on the crane. It will all depend upon how fast the lift hill gains altitude.

This is awesome. I we get a piece or 2 more today as well!

I know this has been official and stuff for a while, but it's just now hitting me that WE ARE GETTING A GIGA.  And they are starting the lift and I'm ecstatic right now.

They will need at least 2 more cranes on site.  Watched the erection of copperhead the other day and they had at least 4 cranes in that congested area

So it looks like that piece doesn't meet the station track. Is there a piece that will go between? Looks like a small gap.

I don't believe that piece is actually in place yet.  According to the blueprint, that piece currently being installed should attach to the piece that was installed earlier this morning.

That piece is just a support, a track section will connect the station tracking to the bone support

good call lol I think now that I look super close. You are right.

@thatguyfromohio no there is track on that piece. You could see it when it was on the truck.

It's actually a large chunk of backbone with a small elbow-shaped piece of track attached that begins the lift hill.

This is (very roughly) what the piece looks like that is being installed.

Its connected! We have a lift hill!

I'm surprised they started on the base of the lift hill before doing the brake run. But I'll take it!

It kinds makes sense considering most of the pieces there are pretty much where the brake run would be.
