It seems that they are digging a hole for the huge support that goes down the first hill. :D

It looks like they have moved a piece of what appears to be lift track on to the scene

And it appears that they have also hoisted a platform up...?

All of the footers are already in place. They take 30 days to cure so I doubt any digging is for supports.

They'll probably put up a few pieces of spine and attach the drop track supports to it next. I was surprised at how fast those handrails got put up on the lift hill. Hope they got those bolts tight. :shock:

Two supports and 2 pieces of track installed. Image

At around 2:30, Clifford was almost fully extended; more than high enough to finish the hill.

EDIT:
For those of who who want to know if the current camera angle is okay, here's reference:
The black outline marks the edge of the camera.

Looks like the entrance walkways from the road to the entrance are being formed.
