Looks like Cleo has moved a little bit.

I was thinking that Cleo was just moved out of the way to get big yellow in place. I think BY can lift the track section higher over top of track already installed. Cleo is there to help. T-Bone is just getting a head start on post head chopper  supports.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. Also, what does BY stand for? Big Yellow? If so that would be a hilarious name for a crane .

Sorry for the double post, but Cleo is installing/moving track!

Still out there doing work. You know it’s gotta be freezing!

why does WindSeeker look so tilted?

The horizon behind it is sloped? Hope so at least....

If its like Diamondback... I am sure it is. All they do is lift the train into the storage shed track and push them by hand to connect each car together. I am sure there is electric by now as well. It is run underground so it has been there for awhile. I also remember reading in a blog or something that the operating system is nearly all in place.

 

@Waltny is there anyway whenever you drive past again to zoom in to the lift hill. Can we see if the chain is already in place?

I did some due diligence and  when the sun is right overhead of the lift hill there is a spot over on GWL parking lot I should be able to shoot right down the belly of The Beast. My question is, how did we collectively miss it if it did go in the way the webcams are watched like a hawk?

 

Because the Earth isn't flat :p

That’s a darn good question - only WindSeeker looks to be tilted, nothing else..

It's sinking into The Vortex.

 

It’s just the angle the photo was taken, I straightened it out and it looked fine.

So they put those pieces in and it was visible on the cam? 

Thursday morning edit: That track did not end up going in after all. It also looks like the cranes are set up assembly line style to get track in place to the head chopper element quickly with the other crane doing supports out to the brake run. 

Good morning everyone! Big piece of track going in right now!!! I hope they get some decent work completed on the helix today.

Stand by for an update. I got it going up and over. 

This looks like it could be the view from Coney Mall.

Yeah thats it lol

To many to share individually here so I’m linking the 10 shot post from instagram

 

I knew they brought in Big Yellow to lift track up and over the already installed track fort he helix.  I hope we see the helix finished today!

Another support going up on the far side of the drop.

I am watching it right now. Big Yellow is not doing anything right now.

Big Yellow taking next helix track section up and over! Its a huge piece!

As Orion's helix goes up, Vortex's came down.

Big Yellow is moving a track piece right now. The piece is huge!

It looks like they might need another piece to reach the next support after the big piece.

 

Here is that next helix piece going In

 

Is this a segment of a train?

I was wondering that too. I saw that about 3 or 4 days ago but thought it would be strange if they had the trains just sitting out like that.

thats why im curious... it is surely getting coated in dust when it sits there

The helix looks much more intense than I was expecting. Didn't the animation have the top sort of leveling out a bit? It doesn't look like it does that here.
