Lol! Y'all are crazy! Thanks for the laughs!

(Btw, coasterbruh...some would argue that a REAL man lasts a lot longer than 5 minutes.)

To the mods...I apologize for the turn this thread has taken!

Anyone been able to make heads or tails of the webcam today? Rain and fog today, looks like it will be like this most of the week.

Cross your fingers that they will install more track & supports today... tomorrow the freezing drizzle forecasted will probably mean Thursday before resuming...

Colors. To some of you who have actually been to the park and seen FURY325 with your own eyes...

The colors on the animation have a bluer cast to them than the color that's presented on the webcam. They look more of a green on the webcam. The animation on youtube is more of a bluish color. So, what color is it REALLY more like? (Computer monitors just don't do colors justice.) The Fehnel pic looks closer to the bluish color on the animation.

Thoughts from anyone who has been there and seen with their own eyes?

I noticed that too on the animation. However, the train is already leaning significantly to the right at that point so I don't think it would be an issue.

It is now fairly obvious Fury is going to be ready to roll come opening day but I'm becoming more and more concerned about the construction progress of the entry way. They still have A LOT to do in a short amount of time and all these wet days are not helping. When you look at what it looks like now and imagine that in basically 2 months it needs to look like the animation...wow, they have a long ways to go. I'm not saying they won't make it but it's almost overwhelming to think about how much they still have left to do.

I was worried that possible snow and ice in the midwest in the recent week may have delayed some transportation of track - thoughts? I see that Batavia, OH appears clear of precipitation!

I'm sure they are very much on schedule. It looks like alot left. pergolas will go up quick. pavers will go down quick. and asphalting the new parking lot will go quick. they just need to finish the buildings already.
