Just remember to celebrate Orion's opening day with Orionion rings

More track is being lifted, I would love to see a piece of track go in today!

Is this rain or fog lol I can't see them installing it if its pouring rain. who knows though.

I know this has been shared on here before i think. What is the difference in the drop between Fury and Orion? The angle difference.

Nice! The drop just looks so impressive! I also love how you are literally on the ground after the drop.

Fury's drop is 320' making for a 20' difference. Whether that 20' is perceptible would be up for debate, probably ever so slightly. But the steeper angle should make more of a difference!

The drop on Orion will feel more sudden for sure. It looks like it drops more suddenly then is indeed more steep. It should be a ton more airtime and a drop feeling, and the speed will be nearly as fast though I do anticipate Fury to still be faster of course. But Orion should feel more intense initially.  Also the next hill should be awesome on Orion and the Turnaround is higher than any other hill on Fury but I am possibly mistaken there.  

Yay they turned the webcam back on !(now can you turn it to the right a few degrees...)

How do you turn it???

Pretty canvas in the snow

Odd that my harmless post from yesterday joking about the white castle crane got deleted, seems pointless. Did that offend somebody somehow? Geez

Since we now have a giga, someone should write RMC in the snow lol

This photo is taken from 48 south in Lebanon near the OSP post.

Another piece of track is ready up next to the second hill

Looks like they might lift 2 sections up at once.

A truck just brought some tracking to the back part of the track also

I wish the cams were like Holiday World's where you can turn the camera.

Looks like Cleo just put in another piece of the drop/first hill.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think that was installed a little while ago. But it looks like there are two other pieces ready to be installed!

That piece is new today.  There are two more already bolted together that, I would assume, will go up next.

Here is what it looked like this morning at 8am.  There definitely are two pieces ready to go right next to it, just curious if they are already bolted together or will go in one by one.

I am correcting you because you asked for it. That is new!

Yep, it's definitely new.  I watched them as they lifted it into place today.

Sorry if my post was a little misleading, by a little while ago I meant earlier today before TheFloppyDisc's post.

Wait you can move them yourself? I checked it out but seems to not be working?
