It's very hard to make out, but I think T-Bone just installed more track behind that patch of trees.

So to me it looks like we have all supports up for the helix except possibly two of them? I don't see support 3, but it could just be hiding and I think support 12 hasn't gone up yet.

12 being the support that takes it towards under the hill?

Yeah, it's kind of hard to see in the animated picture since it's behind/under a bunch of other track and supports.

Remember how back before Orion was announced and we were super desperate about the stats being a typo? Now we are super desperate about the track work ending this month

I think 7,8,9,10 are the only ones that can be seen above the treeline.

12 is definately on the way out of the helix toward the head chopper element.

Why are we desperate about having the track work done before the end of the month? So we can watch a boring web cam until the middle of March? lol Just asking for a friend.

 

 

On a side note we could check for themeing once track work is done.

Wasn't asking. Just kind of funny.

You want track work done so they can start testing, which would be more exciting than watching them put 3 pieces of track in a day.

I know but they won't test until sometime in March.

I bet they'll be doing pull through next month.

That might be possible.

That helix is massive.  Can't wait to see it in person.

I think they tested Diamondback late February if I remember correctly. 

Track is going in right now! Continuing the track where they left off. 

The first test video of Diamondback is dated February 27; for reference Fury's was March 5.

And they are bringing even more over to be installed!

We may get the first section or 2 of the helix today.

Still below the treeline... Im hoping for some action tomorrow!

 

The weather locally is nice and hopefully the use as much of the day as possible. 

This is going to be one heck of a ride! 

T-Bone looks to be ready to pick up another section of track to install.

The start of the helix is going in RIGHT NOW!

Anyone taking bets track will be done this next Saturday?

I would not be surprised if track work was completed by the end of this week or sometime next week.

is that a trim break on the floater hill before the helix? The blog pic from KI today shows it. hope not.

Yes, it is. Not a big surprise, though. The blueprints indicated it and you could see the maintenance building for it under construction during the construction tour in December.

Actually, it is somewhat of a surprise because Don said that there would be no trims until the final break run. Multiple people heard him say this. Hopefully, this trim will be like Banshee's which is hardly used.

I think he meant no MCBR. The blueprints showing the trim have been available since May. But as you said, hopefully it’s not too bad/rarely used!
