I just received confirmation from the park that the topping off is scheduled for between 9am - 1pm tomorrow. I will be at the park taking part in this. Who's excited?

How do you get to watch it at the park? is the park having an event or are you just watching it from the drop off lot?

It's a media event.

They are lifting a piece of track right now.
I don't think that they would lift it for some sort of rehearsal.

The last piece of drop to be completed after this last lift hill piece goes in is sitting just to the right of where the spine connects to the ground.

It looks like it has catwalks so I'm guess they're gonna top the lift hill off today.

The plan is to top the lift off tomorrow.

^I know the topping off is tomorrow, but never seen a crew move a piece of track just for set up the next day.
This is not my first time ever seeing a coaster being put together. I watched Banshee, Thunderbird, even followed Intimidator a few years back.

[Jonathan]

I guess it's possible that they could top it off now and just have a ceremony in the morning, but my guess is that they want everything prepped and ready to go so that for the press event they can just lift it right up and bolt it into place.

^ I'm pretty sure if I was gonna cop an attitude with someone on a website, I wouldn't choose the owner of the site to cop an attitude with....



Anywho...I am super excited for tomorrow! Fingers crossed for the weather to be better than today!

The final section of catwalk is airborne. The crowning may happen a little sooner than we expected..

[Jonathan]

Is there another piece of track missing? Hard to tell from the webcam but it doesn't look like the top piece gets steep enough to meet up with the drop.

[chknwing]

I think its being lifted to attach the other piece and the whole thing will go up tommorrow

[intaminboy]

There is a piece of track just to the right of where the main spine connects to the ground. It is in between the two fork lift green machine things.

EDIT: You cant really see it now, but when it was still light outside, it was clearly visible.

I'm not a crane worker, but from what I've been observing, it looks like they lift quite a few lift hill pieces up twice. The first time looks like they are trying to get close to the angle of the lift hill. If it's not right, they set it back down and adjust the hookup to get it as close as possible.

Amen! I'm excited too!

Not sure if this is true, but someone on Instagram said that said Mike Fehnel told them the track was to go in at 7...
